Get ready to kick off 2012 with some Antweight Robot battles down at the Gold Coast. The Gold Coast Tech Space has recently setup their first official venue and are keen to host some battles so get your Antweights tuned up and ready to go, for a big day of battles.
Date is still negotiable if anyone has any major issues but will be a good way to start off the year.

I've been trying to make Vendetta Jr out of Carbon fibre and chopping boards, but I'm failing. So I just drew up new chassis this morning and sent it off for 3d printing but the estimated completion dates is the 1st, so still not sure what I'll have.

Hey guys!
I've never built a robot before, and I'm a complete electronics newb. But yesterday I printed some
wheels
and a chassis on our new reprap, then connected it to some gear I ripped out of a cheap remote controlled car.
The result:
It currently spins in circles! haha. I have to work out the electronics. And fix some sort of wedge shaped shell to the outside. And find some thick rubber bands to put on the wheels for grip.
I'll be entering this nameless robot on Saturday (if the rules allow for it). Not expecting it to last very long. I'm learning heaps and should be able to throw some cash at a decent setup for the next event
Will be printing spare parts for when it gets annihilated.
