Definately planning to come. The first AWS that's within reach and it's right around the corner! Robot of the opera should be there, working I can't guarantee but then again it never has worked perfectly. If you've wondered where my steady stream of normally unhelpful comments had gone a while back, well I've just got back from sunny Devon (oxymoron alert) and have only been able to check the forum occasionally on a friend's IPhone. :D

Will build a new ant for this (my other one's overweight). Will be great fun. Let's just hope I don't get too trashed...

Haha yes indeed :P, I thought it was just the board that was shredded on TruANT or were other problems identified later on?

Talking of damage next time at an event when I say I might as well let them fight when two of my spinners are drawn together rather than selecting one to go through someone remind me of RFRC3.
Militant only had one tip off the blade and a fair size nick in the motor but Variant has one wheel wrecked, the motor case twisted and the chassis cracked see below:

I thought the pictures might cheer up Alasdair
