I did enjoy watching those Mecanum wheels in action as PLAPIACOM skittered around the arena. Poetry in (omni-directional) motion!

I mainly use three filaments, all of which I get from "3D Jake". Shipping from Germany can be a bit slow (normally about a week) but I find their range and service excellent: - Fiberlogy's 'PA12+CF15' (a Nylon/Carbon Fibre mix) for most bodywork/armour. - PolyMaker's 'PolyMax PC' (polycarb...

Here's a question that has occasionally bothered me at the few events I've attended so far. I couldn't see anything in the official rules so was hoping we could clear this up before Saturday. Are there any guidelines/expectations/rigidly-held-beliefs on where the robots should be positioned at the s...

Read, Understood, Agreed. I'm fully jabbed and will bring my card. Anthony's only 10 so no jab obvs but will do an LFT before we catch the train on Friday evening. And thanks for taking on all the extra hassle of organising an AWS during these still-difficult times. Funny to think back now to our la...

Tension starting to mount. Trains and hotel booked - robots (mostly) ready - last minute panic-printing of spare parts and 'head-scratching over where I left that vital tool' now well underway... Only 82 sign-ups on Rampage last time I checked so might not need to limit entries per team... or is eve...

Midsomer [Ant] Murders!

Covid plans sound eminently sensible. Just to clarify, does the -ve test requirement include young children as well?

Wondered who would pick up on that. It's an old motor from one of my old flail bots. Now re-orientated!

I print a small domed disk with a hole in the middle, sized to hold a small ball bearing, like this (from memory, I think that's a 3mm steel ball):



Needs some experimentation to get the dimensions right but when you do, it's smoooooth

Fantastic! I love the idea of separate weapon-classes. Not something I'd want to see in AWS but for one-off events it's the perfect excuse to experiment with unfamiliar stuff. Axe-bots a-go-go! Will this be in the usual Antfreeze venue? Hickley's a bit of a trek for us but the train connections aren...

Hi EO,

Just wondering if there's any update on the date (given changes to the Govt's relaxation timetable) and/or location for AWS62...?
