That sucks Joacim, I hope you do manage to get over for the event :S

Jack, I might well end up asking for your number cause I've lost the bit of paper from RFRC :P some directions from Richmond railway station might be of use too.

Yesterday I signed up all four of my ants, one of them is a test bed for my walking mechanism...
Looking forward to the event :D
See you all there :)

Almost ready for the event now.

I have spent that last 2 days working solidly on Tempest in an attempt to get it under the weight limit- the chassis has been milled right down to a third of its original weight, I bought a new 4g rx and it is starting to get there. It currently weighs 149g but still needs a top cover so there is still a few grams left to find but it is very nearly there.

Ant Awe 6 now has a new front end as is ready to run and now fits in the cube a little better than before.

Still another couple of hours worth of work but I am hoping to get everything done tomorrow so that I can have a complete test to make sure that everything works.

I am having a nightmare with parts:

I ordered some parts early last week from robotbirds who sent them to derby (i am in newcastle now). I have been begging them to forward them on but i am not sure i will get them in time. This has parts for all my ants in, so because of time i won't have cataclysm finished. I also ordered a 20A 12V power supply. Does anyone have something like this i could borrow on saturday, i have got an electric pump for anticide and my current pst can't handle the power needed.

I have ordered strafens chassis from shapeways and have been told that the machine crashed twice trying to make it. So going to rush together a polycarb chassis for it and hope to have it working in time.

So definatly have the normal 2, maybe strafen if i can get it all built in time.

I have a 12v car battery charger than can power a car tyre air pump, it'll probably manage your kit. I'll try to remember to bring it along.
