Noticed your running 2min battles, is this going to be the norm for NSW or Serial Space? Want to know so I can down scale my cell capacities and increase cell count _________________ https://www.halfdonethings.com/

Im not sure why we had it as 2 minutes. Angus and I just had a decent recollection of it being that long for uk ants.
Worked well enough for us, culling the tedious fights before they had a chance to become mind numbing in the hazard-less arena. The spinner fights never go beyond 2 minutes regardless so you might well just scale your batteries accordingly!
Yeah were just discussing it... basically decided 2min in the arena as is, but if it gets a pit for serial space we'll make it 3min with the pit opening in the last 1min as per what they do in Brisbane. _________________ ( •_•)
Actually I think the official RFL rules are 2min for smaller battles. Though this is in the Match Guidelines not rules IIRC and hasn't been updated since 2006.
must make automagic video uploader thing.

i seem to have lost the rumble unfortunately.

There's some old footage i forgot about from the top down camera at this event. Thought id be cute to have a vid of the ants ricochetting off the walls and such Most if its rubbish cause the angle on the camera is stupidly narrow but theres a few funny tidbits in there. Set to the worlds most annoying song too just to complete the rubbishness of the vid -shameface-
Forgive any spelling mistakes. I was quite out of it during editing haha as if that wasn't obvious.
Oh yes and did someone leave a leather jacket behind at the event? It has duct tape over a rip in the arm. (and on that note does whoever it belongs too want it sewn up ) _________________ www.demon50s.com - Minimoto parts
