There is some info on the history of AWS on Oliver's site:

Dozer, Odyssey and TYPE-0 Oliver
Cannon Fodder and Pants PeteC
Tyrant Jools
6 ants in total, the pics are good as Pants hasn't really changed in appearance at all. I like my closing paragraph "Thanks to everyone that attended, I hope there will be more people for the next world series and hopefully we will be able to have an antweight fight at RW"
Now here we are 6 years later with a few more people.

It was MDF actually The black board arena we used (Pants Playground) was made out of the side of an old desk....ah, those were the days....
Since then, 16 World Series, twice on RW, once on Discovery, numerous other events like the SAC and Simon's series, at least 5 book and mag articles (that I know of), lots of different people and robots at the events and contenders and builders in at least 8 countries over the years....all making the most successful run of robot combat anywhere in the world. ...and we've only just started

If I had a pound for every ant builder in the world.
Hang on a minute, perhaps we need a membership fee.
PeteC's summary is spot on. It's good as we are still around when RW and the FRA aren't. We still continue with WS at a steady pace making technical advancements all the time and getting new blood in.

Oliver I think the vast majority of roboteers would disagree with you. Aside from Antweights the FRA is the assosication for all robots within the Uk (and to an extent Ireland). It may not run any events (but if you read its aims it never planned to run any) but it sets the rules for Robotics within the Uk and to an extent the rest of Europe although the Dutch etc are free to change them they generally run to the FRA rules. There are regular FRA meetings aswell as regular FRA socials between roboteers. I think you will find that what you have heard is wrong.
It is bigger than it used to be (more members this year than last year and were only about 1/2way through the year). Its rules are used by most if not all events in the Uk so it must be supported.
Anyway i think we have wandered way off topic. This topic was intended to be about age. I started when I was 14 and still do a small bit of ants now that I am 18 but mainly concentrate on bigger classes which I find more fun.
