featherweights at rfrc?
hi chaps,
i cant help but notice that quite a few of you are building featherweights, good choice last rfrc me, matt hunt and a few guys went up to a nearby basketball court and had loads of fun trashing a bin after that there seemed to be a lot of interest in a featherweight melle, unfortunetly there were a few issues that came up and prevented this, but this year that has been fixed, and iv come up with a cool idea
perhaps if we can get a few of the newly built featherweights down, we could have a melle? rr/rl are great and all but if your going with a new robot theres a good chance you could be bringing it back in a body bag, this would break them in slowly (5 way mellee rather than a 16 way in front of 100's)
just to clarify this wouldnt be a major part of rfrc more of a fun sideshow the kids (and bug kids) could do during the break
i was planning on bringing my 4-5 fw's down to the next one anyway, so would be good to get some practice
just a thought...what do the new builders think?

I *should* have Stiltskin partially done by then, at the very least (fingers crossed!) it'll be a driving chassis that I wouldn't mind putting in with the others to test for design flaws. Provided everything was quite safe - I don't think anyone's doing a feather with a weapon other than me, and I can't see myself getting the pneumatics working by then XD - I'd have no objection to a few battles whatsoever, as long as it didn't detract from the ants

Definately, I haven't done any rfrc before but it's reasonably close to home so I can bring Phase along if it's ready as well as some antweights.

I might...I might not...it depends on a few factors including the punctuality of Dutch engineering companies and my own incompetence
(I will have a fleaweight for RFRC though, in slightly related news)
