Next Antweight meet is 16 Dec at Taplab (from 12pm onwards)
The plan is to update the Ant Arena from this event forward to have higher end walls and pit doors that drop after two minutes to reduce the amount of accidental arena outs and short matches we saw at the Nationals.
This brings it more in line with the Beetle Arena and helps keep the matches interesting to watch.
That said, any two bots can agree to have pit doors open from the start. This may be desirable for two push bots.
Check the facebook group for more information.
