Trust me on this one John, you dont even want to think about opening that can of worms!! :wink:
theres nothing wrong with rambots Im bored of flippers but u dont see me moaning like a spoilt b****
If its such a problem put a limit on the amount of weapon types
It should be completely random, cant see how a uk champs can be any other way !
John
the only thing to bear in mind is from a audience point of view..
i believe it would be more interesting viewing? if you used the 2nd option (but it depends on the draw) so the 1st option could be ok.
i cant go to this event due to distance but i wouldnt be bothered either way personally.
i would think you would still feel like a champ if you won this event, your coming up against some good robots either way.
why not do a private random draw and see how it turns out first?
craig, im bored of flippers im actually bored of feathers and i prefer heavys just need a heavy spinner arena for it to be more fun craigy baby
not gonna happen this year
It sounds like theres mixed opinions on this lol.
The idea of splitting weapon types is in no way to make fights more entertaining. We are not selling tickets personally for this event so all of our effort is going directly into the event itself.
My thought was that having each heat with a similar draw would make each heat more even, therfore making each heat as even as possible, and not have all the best robots comming up against each other and knocking themselves out in the first round.
If people want a straight draw than thats perfectly fine by us, its even less work....
Mark, I have added LS3 and LF3 to the list. the full list of contenders is on the previous page.
Im not scared of the weapons at all, you can tear me completely to pieces if you want. I just think it should be totally random, as thats the only way its truly fair.

This to me makes it not random, trying to separate the best robots out just seems daft. There should be one seed per battle, theyre the best robots based on past experience, and theyre kept separate. Theyre opponents should then be totally random, not drawn just so, say, two spinners dont come up against each other. Its a competition isnt it.
Jonno you are trying something new with the heavyweight champs this year. Whats to say that something new shouldnt be done with the featherweights as well?
