Roaming Robots, Welsh Robot Champs May 1-3 2004

Rob on the list you have got team Dragon in Room 10.

Roaming Robots, Welsh Robot Champs May 1-3 2004

Team Dragon are in Room 14! Lucky Im not an air traffic controller.

Two teams have requested selling stuff at the event. Thats OK but because this is a 100% charity event we are charging £10/table per day. We have very disappointing ticket sales (we have been badly let down by the Tourist Office Ticket hotline that seems to be closed most of the time)and are only just into the black. We have to try and boost income in every way we can on the day. Catering/raffles etc These tables can be booked in advance by email.

rob, are you having a raffle? as roboteers can donate bits, that always helps getting money in.

[robjones]

Roaming Robots, Welsh Robot Champs May 1-3 2004

Cheers. Anything appreciated, autographed t-shirts is what we were planning.

Did you advertise in one of the still adverts in a local cinema? That might be a good idea for future events...

Finished Final testing of the new feather last night and it still works! Can we add this to the feathers list?

Didnt quite realise how much shock you get to the internals. The speed controller is mounted on four rubber mounts and still a 18-pin chip flew out of its socket. Front panel flexed outwards and a wire dropped onto the disc. SMA areial socket came out, relay case came off, and worst of all the motors rotor was spinning but the shaft was not. All fixed now (hopefully)

Good news for other feathers. It was slightly over weight so we had to remove one disc.
