Marayong Season 6, Round 1 - 02/04

Its time for the first local event of the year, all the guys who went to the Ideas Festival should be all fired up and all those who didn't should be very well prepared.

There is no chance that Scissorhands will be fixed in time for the event (I can't even afford to order the replacement parts) but I will be there to help organise stuff.

Edit: rescheduled to May 2nd.

18th of April, its on the front of our season 6 discussion and while its pretty close to the Ideas Festival, we need to start the season ASAP so the rest of the events are not too close to each other.

I was wondering if pushing it a few weeks might give people time to get bots repaired after QLD?

As it stands we have no bot and I'm unsure we can have one for the 18th.

I'd rather not... Was hoping showing ashleigh what we do Razz
We're already well into the year with no events. But what majority wants I suppose. Confused

Scissorhands is off the list - the new weapon shaft is 3 weeks away Sad. Chris and Russell seem to have the floor planed, but I have not heard about an installation date; probably after the next event.

We will need a few helpers for the floor - to make it go fast, I think 4 or 5 people with a production line approach is needed.

biscuit cutter
edge beveller
2 or three sheet layers

We will need to trim some of the sheets to size and some of the tiles will need to be hacked level with an angle grinder. once the sheets are laid, they will need painting - sounds like a full day job all together.

I expect to have Flexo and a 2nd bot there. Ben was very excited after IF and is a distinct 'maybe'. I fear a complex design may take a while to build though.

I believe the floor is sorted. Chris and Russell are going to do it in the near future.

Just realised that I can't make this date as I've got a Bucks party for a mate.

So how about that date change??? Wink

2 weeks later would be great. We could even get scissorhands there in that time. Very Happy

That means the 2nd event would be fairly soon afterwards, but a short delay suits me - I am very busy making new parts this weekend.

Are there any people who Do NOT want the event moved?
