Mini Game Event?

Post by TeamCrash »

It'd be pretty cool idea, which I know has been done before. Anyone up for it?

The closest thing we currently have to what I think you're talking about is the non-AWS events like Ant-Freeze and the Antweight open, which usually have a lot of mini games after the main tournament.

On a related note, I've been toying with the concept of organising a few more regular, less formal meetups here in Reading. Us uni lot (aka, Will, Alex, Callum and I, plus a few other new guys) meet up on campus every fortnight, get the arena out and have a few hours of random fighting and working on bots. It's very informal, but gives us a chance to test new designs, (including spinners... tbh, most of the time it's just us smashing things with spinners in the name of 'testing' :roll: ), get in some good practice, and discuss ideas.

I've recently been thinking about organising these informal meetups in a way in which anyone from the community could come along for a few hours, get some practice, have some mini games (hence the slight hijacking of this thread :L), and talk face to face rather than just across the forum. I realise it would only really work for those of you in the Reading area, but could still be fun. It's very much just an idea still, but I just thought I'd see what you guys think before I look more into the practicalities of it...

Count me in for that :)

A while ago I ran the ATC's (Antweight Team Champs), and that have combat and the different games, and I do want to run that again at some point soon, just a matter of organising it.

I would certainly be interested as well.
Besides being fun I need the practice and more strenuous testing of new robots between AWS's.

Rory, if you can organise it for a weekend I'm sure you'd get a good response.
When Simon ran the Reading Robot Club it was always well attended. Probably the majority of the antweight community live within a couple of hours of Reading so it's feasible for a shorter/less formal event.
