I wish we could just have an election without certain individuals kicking the FRA in the gonads every time we try to do something.
I am trying to sit on the dividing fence, but with the constant shaking of the fence, I am eventually going to fall off - on one side or another.
In Mikes defence I also missed the email for the cut-off point for eligibility to vote. There must be nearly 300mails in my box just from the last 2 weeks alone about this election.
If the association splits, then so be it. The people left out in the cold will only have themslves to blame. I am getting tired of trying to justify the FRA and what it stands for to people who do not wish to hear. If you do not like us then sod off - there - I said it.
At the last committee meeting the major EOs - RR, RL and robochallenge sat down with the roboteers and the world was in harmony.
You do not need to be a rocket scientist to figure out what put a spanner in the works.
On a serious note, Mike and Kane both seem like good people with the good of the FRA at heart, despite the stuff thats being thrown around, and I hope they both have a future role in the FRA of some sort and whoever is elected delivers on their promises, as if that happens I cant see any problems occuring whoever it is
Maybe people dont speak out because of the slating they face off you lot if they do! And I agree with Marco, not good for people reading the forum to see this.
I will be giving another update after 8pm tomorrow.
Please note that the voting closes at midnight 13th February 2009. Anyone sending their votes on 14th February will not be counted so it is vitally important you get them in ASAP.
Christopher: You said: I am a strong supporter of the antweights. If the only way of becoming a roboteer was to spend a couple of grand and 6 months of work, knowing that there was a strong chance that a few hundred pounds of damage could occur after each event I would have just said not for me thank you.
There is little difference in cost between a feather powered by drill motors and an ant, and there are a lot more opportunities to run feathers.
And while I am here on this thread let me say that I agree with all those who have said lets forget about the politics and get on with building robots. There are not very many of us and we can ill afford to fight among ourselves.
