About this event
Matt and I recently competed in our first regional Antweight tournament and had a great time!! And while we’re far from being experts in this class we did learn a lot on our journey and will soon be looking at 2027 tournaments to jump into! We thought holding an informal workshop where we can share our experience might entice some others to join us in building and fighting Full Combat Antweights, both on the Knox Breakers travelling team as well as (hopefully) in Thunderdome once we get 6-8 builders in this class.
With that background we’ll be chatting about things such as the types of materials used in this class, similarities and differences between the electronics, motors, and such in comparison to our cardboard class, how much it costs to field a typical FC Ant, how fighting offsite differs from being at the shop, how SPARC tournaments differ from our KILLSWITCH rules, and pretty much anything that you might want to dive into!
To reiterate, neither of us are experts but we’re keenly interested in growing this weight class! Doesn’t matter whether you’re ready to start building tomorrow or simply robot curious, join us and let’s see if we can’t make 2027 the Year of the Ant!!
