AWS 38 - Brighton 7th July

[razerdave]

I hope the new guys from SAC will come.

Talking of SAC, I found I recorded the video of Nom Nom Nom 'doing a barrel roll' in his fight with Hell Boy, I'll upload it shortly.

I've been doing preps for the AWS and have come across an odd problem with Divinity. Now that the wheels actually touch the floor, I try and drive with the spinner on and the spinner just spins down, and it won't spin up whilst the servos are in motion. I stop, and the disc will work again, same thing happens if I try to drive. I have servo drive robots.

It sounds like a power problem where the power drawn by the drive servo's is causing the spinner controller to shut down.
If the battery is fully charged maybe the battery is too low a capacity to provide enough power or the regulator providing the power to the servo's and receiver is coming out of regulation causing the 5v supply to fall.

Now Harry may not be coming does anyone want to make up the other half of a cluster if need be?

[Remote-Controlled Dave]

Good to see the Woods are on the ball, signing up twice

[Andrew_Hibberd]

I will be there, sorry I haven't signed up yet working away atm. I will be there with 3 bots.

[faceplant]

Ive booked the day of work so im definitely there !! Will anyone have fleas there? I built a flea just for the hell of it .

See you all there !! I cant wait .

[bitternboy]

I'll have a flea and I expect quite a few other people will a have too, they're all the rage at the moment. Will there be an FWS?

[earthwormjim]

Not sure what happened on the sign-up?
Either I pressed the button twice,or my evil twin has signed up too! And he has copied all my robots!!!!!

EDIT: Fleas Rock!

[Remote-Controlled Dave]

Yes, there will be an FWS. Make sure you sign up fleas too, as well as ants, to make it easier on James and Gary (Mr Waller!). There is a fleaweight option on the sign up page.

[James]

Will there be an FWS?

yeah there will a fleaweights competition EDIT: Dave beat me to it

jim, don't know how you managed to do that

I think there are 58 Ants and 10 fleas that have signed up/haven't pulled out/said they are coming but not signed up yet and there's probably several last minute entries still to come...
