Imma have to make an ant

I'm slowly putting together an ant kit. I bought the botbits starter kit to give it a go and I still need to get the RC controller stuff. I would love to see a NSW event soon

You might be in luck - we were just talking about an even in March. It was focussed more on the larger beetle weights but there is no reason we can't do antweights at the same time.

I have just discovered the "assbot" rules and I think that it needs to happen

Wow that's a nice arena.

Planning to do my first ant... But which definition of antweight are we using here? (1lb or 150g?)

Real antweights, 150g

I wonder if there's a size limit on the bots... Some said 4*4 inches but what about this event?

Size limits are for UK ants - we don't use them here in Australia, just the 150g weight limit.

Oh nice. Thx.

Just here poking everyone with a stick because I wanna see an ant event happen some time soon cause I honestly need some motivation to work on team combat wombat with my wee kiddo.

Been a while but the next ant event is on for Wollongong Feb 25, 2024.

Registration is up for the next event, scheduled for February 25th at the Wollongong TAFE. Usual place usual time. Please register competing robots:
