Ant arenas

Are any ant weight arenas steel floored?

Not that I have ever seen.
Would start to raise questions about magnetically increasing the grip.

Ok thanks, I was just wondering because I was thinking about finally making some sort of an ant.

I can really recomend building them they seem to be the fasted growing class with 83 robots in the last AWS.

Re: Ant arenas

Because Antweight events are independent stand alone competitions and not put on so a large audience can watch we do have a rather slim budget to work with. The most used arenas ATM tend to be Peter's and Oliver's which are both perfectly fine, but MDF floored i believe? If someone came into a bit of money then perhaps we could upgrade a arena, but unfortunately the current arena rules (In my opinion of course) remove the potential for really exiting arenas. For example the Antweight arena used in robot wars wouldn't be allowed because of the 50% dropoff rule.

But to answer your question: No, we use wood ATM

Re: Ant arenas

how about we make everyone who has a magnetic ant or spinner pay ti use an.arena
and with that money we build a huge arena
I suppose I could build one if I get to more events
