Re: AWS 60 Proposal (Spring 2020)

Re: Antweight World Series 58 - 29th June 2019

Up until now, the record for an AWS was 103, shared between Will Thomas at Reading, and Richard Manning at AWS57. Chris managed 123, but if the software allowed it, we’d have been in the 130’s.

Re: Dual motor Axe bot

Control wise, I have a spring-centred Double pole, double throw switch attached to the rudder control. Basically, if you take the le...
