18th June - Sly Practice in the North West

Post by PBx »

Not a formal event as such, but myself and anoptimistprime are getting together for some sly practise at a local friendly hostelry at noon

The Hunt Lane Tavern,
754 Middleton Road
Chadderton,
Oldham.
OL9 0LD

It is about 2 mins off the M62 J20. I guess that there is no-one else close enough to be interested, but I thought it would be rude if I didn't ask :roll:

Also call me Danny it's easier than that mahoosive name I chose haha

I'll bring an arena style tray thing and some scales along with the two boys I've been working on :)

I may not be able to bring my arena thingy as I'm probs getting the bus as it's so near to my house
But if we set up a table and surround it with chairs then it'll do :)
Are we going to put it on the chalk board outside

If I'm anywhere near a pub its normally 'lightweight' that I hear. 'Antweight testing' maybe even more apt lol

Probably about right haha
I now have two bots up and running even though the flippers don't seem to be very effective against each other though
They may end up being modified again before Saturday
Hopefully the batteries will last for a few battles as I have one per robot
Either way see you guys there and hopefully it'll be a good laugh :)

I'm going to be down to 1 driver (George has a sudden opportunity to get an athlete badge :roll: ) but I'll bring both 'bots and our table top arena. Don't know if kickboxer will turn up, but I'm really looking forward to it :)
