OT:RE: [ILUG] chat ?

[Anton Mc Kee]

Yeah I have a few ideas on building a robot for robot wars. But no 
technical skill but would not mind giving it a lash. I could do some 
defensive systems :-)

Apparently they are quite strict on what you can enter. eg No flame 
throwers or hand grenades, limit horse power. No pertrol engines (i think) 
etc etc. Oh and nothing that fires projectiles. I wonder does my Ronald 
Regan Star Wars Memorial Laser count as a projectile.
