To create a little excitement at Robotics meetings we are
announcing a new (for Christchurch) Mini Robot Wars challenge for
remote controlled (or autonomous) robots.<br>
We can refine the rules as we develop, the challenge should appeal
to all ages. Here are some proposals for starters.<br>
Run as many robots at the same time as attend in any class per
round, the goal is to either disable other robots or push them out
of the competition floor. Last functional robot remaining in play
is declared the winner of that round.<br>
3 Classes for starters:<br>
300g Max weight Spinners.<br>
300g Max weight Non Spinners.<br>
Lego Robots (any weight). For control see <a

<br>
Initially we can run tournaments on the Lego Sumo ring seen a
couple of Christmases ago.<br>
<br>
Here is how the 300g weight budget might be spent:<br>
124g 4 x NiMH Batteries<br>
132g 2 x MG995 Servo<br>
10g 1 x Receiver<br>
34g Wheels etc.<br>
<br>
Any comments or suggestions?<br>
<br>
The first session will be held at our next meeting scheduled for
Monday June 20th at Tait Radio Communications, 175 Roydvale Ave,
Christchurch 6.30pm-9.30pm.<br>
<br>
