Dave, what's the +/- on the beetleweights? I have the world's least accurate scales and i fear both of mine are slightly over.

In the featherweights you can be just 5g over in a 13.6kg bot... that is a mere 0.036%. So if you were 5g over in the beetles then it would be 0.333%. Ultimately its up to Dave but you will be have to be seriously close.Comment

Surely it depends on whether it's being treated as a serious beetle tournament or just a series of whiteboard fights? If it's just a few random fights maybe just allow slightly overweight bots to fight?Comment

I think it's already been noted as 5g somewhere so best stick to that. The tolerance is more to allow for scale inaccuracies so the robot's total mass and what percentage of that 5g is doesn't really matter.Comment

Looks like in off to buy some more accurate scales then.... Either that or drilling lots of holes tomorrow morning!
Also, just to confirm I will defo have 2 beetles tomorrow. Hypernova and Holey Moley.Comment

First off, a huge thanks to David for not only hosting the event but also for offering me his hospitalty.
I had a great time, even though I only got to fight twice. I take solace in the fact that I was defeated in both matches after the two minutes ran out. Something none of the other beetles managed to do. Which led me to wish I had asked jarvis to fight chop suey just to see how much punishment it could take.
Long story short, If I have the money for it I'll be back.Comment

I'd also like to give a huge thanks to Dave. It was a great event for whatever weight class you were involved in. And it was nice to see so many feather/heavy people at an antweight event, even if it was just for the beetles.
My last minute bodged Beetles were no match for some of the awesome machines that were on show. But I did manage to take a few chunks out of RPM, so that made my day Beetleweight-wise. If anyone has a video of that I'd be very grateful...
As for the ants, it was a textbook AWS. Lots of tense fights, lots of destruction and just generally a great day out. I did slightly better than expected, so that's a bonus. Well done to Shakey for getting that win that we knew was inevitable. Stanley is so difficult to fight, as I fount to my peril on several occasions. A very deserving champion. Can't wait for the next one. (and maybe a grudge match between Randar and Stewie!)Comment

We did have feather and HW people there with ants too
Oh yeah, with regards to Randar vs Stewie, you're on!
