Robot Club is the name given to an infrequent series of antweight events hosted by myself in my garden in Hertfordshire. Originally organised by MKBFC as a test to see if we could successfully organise events, it has grown to be my main source of interaction with the robot community now that I’m too injured to leave the house.
The arena currently used is an old football table with 6cm walls, beaching blocks, 15% dropoff and no roof, meaning this is a spinner-free event.
Each time Robot Club convenes, we have a few tournaments to decide who wins a number of small trophies:
Tiny Nut: main competition
Tiny Bolt: rumble
Tiny Chain: 2v2 competition
Tiny Washer: consolation tournament (Desperado tournament at RC3)
Big Switch: pass-the-transmitter tournament (2 trophies, one for the winning driver, one for constructor of the winning robot)
Robot Club 5 just happened and #6 and #7 are currently in the planning stage - message me if you’d like an invite!
Footage of past Robot Club competitions will be in the replies since I’m limited to 2 links per post.
