Antweight Arena - Team Knightrous - QLD

Thought I'd put up a little build report for my antweight arena as I build it Smile
Design wise, it's going to be around 800x800x500 with the ability to disassemble into a semi flat pack for transporting.
I have a few ideas for it like an arena timer, tap out buttons, some LED lighting (To help with filming) and a motorized pit (tied into the arena timer).

Today, I picked up the a few lengths of 20x20x1.6 RHS and 12mm MDF


Then marked out a 800x800 arena on it


Then got hungry and decided to make dinner Razz

The arena is also being designed to fit into an AW11... (without passenger seat)

I almost do these days Razz
We are opening our third branch in NSW this weekend (Grafton), so I'm frequently hoping the boarder these days for work.

An 800x800x500 arena should just fit snug between the rear window and the boot spoiler on the AW11 (With an NA Engine cover) and should only require a pair of bungy cords to secure it down.

Nice!

It'd be even better if you could get some autonomous antweight fights happening in it while you drive Smile

I kinda got over the idea of flat packing it...
It would require more materials, more work building it and more time.
Since there is already an ant arena in Brisbane, it will be pretty rare for me to have to shift my arena to events. The legs will be trimmed to size soon and the attachable legs mad up for it....

It does however, fit on an AW11....

I'll confirm the fit in part later Razz
