Funnily enough, I'm in the process of building a house in Roleystone.

I scrapped ICQ because of the spam, and don't currently have a chat system that I use.

I've downloaded your ruleset. What size of robots are in WA currently? I'm quite happy to throw an opponent together so we can see some action. Pretty sure I can get the two other builders from ACRA to put together a couple also.

The ACRA Website is no more (it was being hosted for free by a local ISP)
No, ACRA wasn't affiliated with any other local bodies (Actually, at the time it was happening, there were no other bodies to be affiliated to )

ok so after talking with glen its become clear that he cant get down to perth unless he flys down then flys back which would be to expensive...

so i guess we can scrap that plan. Sad


@Andrew, could you get the other guys ACRA to log onto the forum? then we might be able to sort out a time for a get together or something.

Speaking of Avatars,

Could you please edit yours down in size a little bit (preferably to the 80x80 rule), since yours is wider than most peoples and it messes up the formatting of the pages somewhat.

Ok, so if I wanted to make a basic competitor in the Featherweight scales, I'd probably be looking for Cordless drills for motive power, and perhaps a cordless drill motor running a Worm Drive for a flipper? Probaly go for light aluminium step sheeting or Polycarb for the chassis/armour. (Heck, wood would probably be good enough for the interior bracing, so long as you were able to stop external intrusion)
