Next beetle competition?

[daveimi]

Can't decide whether to build a new beetle or feather. Anyone know when the next beetle events are if any? If there's nowt doing I'll build a feather to run for the next six months. Wanna build a grabber! From Plywood!!!

Also interested in this. I've heard Stu from Kinematics is soon to announce something.

Oh cool. It was a case of wanting to build something new but not wanting to spend cash and then wait six months for a fight lol. Think we should set up an underground Street fight series :-)

We're doing a competition in Burgess Hill, 21/22nd May

[daveimi]

Oh cool which one? Or you mean you're putting one on? Sorry for sounding confused lol

Dave Weston's taking his beetle arena to Burgess Hill's Robots Live event and we're doing a competition there haha

Oh sweet. Will give Rancid a refurb, it still runs great and did alright last time out. Might move to just a big single scoop instead of a ramp each side so I can get 0mm ground clearance. Will have more weight for a better Lipo then as well.

Do you ever come up with an idea that runs really well and think "might be worth developing this and see where it goes"?
