************************************************************************
Hello everyone! Our next club RC tank battle will be at South Gate Park, staged next to a real M60 tank!
This battle is part of our usual members monthly battles that anyone with a compliant tank can come and participate. We will not be officially doing loaner tanks or doing demos, however people are still encouraged to come check us out and ask us questions.
RC tank battles consist of RC tanks equipped to play "laser tag". We separate into teams and battle it out until only one RC tank is left standing. The areas we battle are set up like miniature battlefields complete with props to make it look realistic.

RULES FOR RETURNING PLAYERS (MEMBERS):
Before you show up:
1. Please upgrade your IR receiver to a LegoDEI (v2) or similar unit. LegoDEI v3 is not allowed.
2. Please make sure your IR emitter bulb is recessed in the opening by approximately 9mm. Exposed emitters are not permitted. Verify your shot pattern to make sure you only signal hits from the front arc of your bulb at an area that is outdoor.
On the day of the event:
1. Show up early and help us set up if you are able to
2. Please prepare all of your tank to run as early as possible
3. Check in with Tang and Hugo to test your tank for compliance with our rules with a shoot/receiver testing procedure
4. Sign in with Hugo with club dues
As always, I highly recommend bringing a second battery, basic hand tools, and anything you might need to sustain yourself and your tank for the day. This is a public park with public restrooms but I do recommend you bring your own food and water. It will probably be sunny so bring a hat, sunblock, bug spray, etc
