nah do the draw from a hat asap- do it infront of someone impartial.

I like knowing who im fighting a week or two in advance so i can make plans for atleast the first round :)

i dont mind as im entering a spinner anyway :uhoh:

I think the draw should be made now in front of someone impartial, but we shouldnt be told who weve got until the day. Keeps the anticipation flowing! lol

We decide when the draw is:angry:lol.

As usual, it will be atleast 1 week before the event so that you can have plenty of time to come up with an excuse as to why your robot might not want to work when youve been drawn against a spinner:proud:

I dont think people use excuses anymore, they just all assume that the spinners will break down after the first hit.

Got a good feeling about this one though; I think the spinners are going to come in to their element this time :)

Just gone through the weapon types actually and for the first time that I can recall, the spinners outnumber the flippers, so theres no excuse for a member of the gas brigade to win! :)

Pushers/rambots - 13
Spinners - 9 (4 horizontal, 2 FBS, 2 drum, 1 vertical)
Flippers - 8
Lifters - 4
Crushers - 1
Unknown - 2 (Sabretooth and Japanese fighting tortoise - enlightenment required :))

No axes this time, methinks I can skimp on thick top armour (watches in irony as he gets drawn against Venom :P)

sabertooth is a vertical spinner jamie

Woot, another spinner to add to the list then :)
Only need three more and therell be as many spinners as pushers/rambots

Japanese Fighting Tortoise could be anything...lol. I dont even know what itll be yet and Im building it.
