Hello, welcome to our August roundup!

Since our email in May we’ve had [**Antweights on a boat**](https://youtu.be/dQi3Cpst_ME) and [**Beetleweights underground**](https://youtu.be/4iaw830viA8), it’s been a great exploration of where can we fight robots, the answer seems to be everywhere! Thanks to all who came, we hope you had a great time. Now, here’s our [next few events](http://bbb.gd/events).
