We have been disussing setting up a booth area to show off our robots and also have a small airsoft robot arena to battle in So far we have Bret , myself and Alequa my brother coming. I made this thread so we are not discussing things off topic on others. Here is trossens arena for ideas but we can make ours different.
Josh, how big do the fake buildings need to be and how many of them?
Right now we are looking at 4 buildings and I believe 30 inches is more than enough for building height. Im really glad this is going to be indoors so that weather does not play a serious factor in what we need to bring to have a fun and presentable setup..
What about Balsa wood for the building material? Balsa wood panels could be cut to size, painted, & transported; then put together fairly quickly with hot glue, onsite.
Well balsa costs lots of money. Maybe home depot 1/8 plywood or something can be used to make panels.
I was thinking of that foam core poster board.
Do the streets need to be wide enough for two bots to go down them side by side, or one bot to go down them with a little room to manuveur?
Streets must be large enough for two bots to pass each other without hitting. That should reduce how often bots hit the buildings lol.
I've decided just to use heavy boxes as buildings and paint them to look cool lol. This weekend I pick up pcv to start framing everything. I plan on bringing 3 tables to display robots and one table specifically for laptops to link to the air soft robots in the arena area. Anyone have suggestions. Is there anyone besides me , Bret and Alequa going to make it? We would love to have you.
