OK ALL OUT OF THE HAT ON THE DAY :sad:
hope i get a strong robot ;)
only problem with leaving it until the day is the possability of haveing odd numbers so somebody will have to pull out. Another way could be those who have chosen a partner are already sorted and those who havent or just would like luck of the draw get picked on the day?
so what happens if we wanted to enter 2 flippers?
can we only enter 1 when its a tag team comp
is this a fun comp or a serious comp?
if this was to be setup as a FRA featherweight tag team championship? then i think its only fair if we get to pick our own partners
i could be tagged up with the most unrealiable bot ~(which i dont think there is any but still) and then im having to fight 2 robots on my own which would be hard
i think it would be best one way or another james, obviously we all wont be happy, just put me down for whiteboards please on KAHN and Prodigy evo, its less hassle and i will still enjoy myself that way LOL
adrian - prodigy evo is going to be a spinner right? you would have no problem in finding a partner
the main reason i would like to be able to pick as i dont think its fair for teams with 2 bots who wont be able to enter both fairly in 2 different tags
and as this is tag team this is the perfect opportunity to fight with both
but ofcourse i understand what u said b4 - but the best robots (tags) should be given a
i dont think i will have a problem finding a tag partner for prodigy evo either, i believe its going to be a very powerful machine, im just thinking of the overall competition and others. the first test will be to see what it does to the old prodigy chassis, that is the easiest way to test its power as i know what other spinners did to the old prodigy, which wasnt a great deal. hopefully at some point will upload some test vids onto youtube. hopefully the finished product is going to look something like the pic on profile, things might change slightly except for the 3kg disc

I will have a problem finding a partner as im new and inexsperianced:sad:
Its an axebot youre building Dan isnt it? Well be there with two robots; one has already been paired up for the tag team but the other (Snakebite, a vertical crusher) hasnt been paired up with anyone yet - let me know if you want to have it as a partner to yours. Snakebite is a new machine and this event will only be my second full combat event so dont worry about being new and inexperienced, Im not far off that either :)
Yeah its an axe bot(bit like a featherweight version of terrorhurtz-just not as good!hehe):)
Snakebite sounds cool,i will happily partner with it!Any pics?
Not any build pics at the moment as its not yet built :P (have made a prototype with a 5mm polycarb claw thats been able to crush a few easy objects, until the 3mm mdf base started to flex)
Once I begin getting the proper version built (hopefully within the next couple of weeks) Ill take some pictures then and post them; for now theres a CAD picture on my profile - just imagine that with some covers over the wheels/internals and the two claw tips brought together as one (a bit like Razer).
Nothing fancy in the specs; drills, nicads, Electronizes (maybe upgrade to a dual speedo if I can afford it) and a hunking great big linear actuator in the middle of it :)
Actually, to give you a better idea, heres a couple of shots of the prototype:

It looks very good.Robo challenge is going to be a very good event and im looking forward to team with you Jamie.Axe and Claw-i wouldnt want to be a push bot against that kind of pairing!:proud:
no worries, and how about i send the old prodigy in with one hand behind my back:wink:
:)
Whats that bot on your profile adian-looks very good!
thats the new prodigy evolution, its going to be an invertible spinner with a 3kg disc. will be on show at think tank
Do we need to be a member of anything other than the FRA to enter?
We also need to test Levelers(Heavyweight)flipper. Would it be possable for us to test it safely in the arena afterwards.
Go on to
http://www.robochallenge.co.uk/signup.htmhttp://www.robochallenge.co.uk/signup.htm
to sign up.Only featherweights(i think),so speak to grant or james cooper about testing levelers flipper.
Hi James
Only FRA membership is required for our events. Yes I am happy for you to test the flipper, just not with another heavyweight as it can easily turn into a play fight.
Adrian your new spinner looks nice, any chance you will have it finished in time?
I say yes, a very good chance.
James, the man has answered my question:)
The bot on Leos profile looks good to!
Adrian-I wouldnt mind fighting prodigy evolution...........wink,wink.....:)
Katjuscha is a Antweight, so a bit outclassed in a feather competition. :)
no probs dan, i will be looking to put it in a few fights for testing, all being well will put some vids smashing something up on youtube, incase you want to change your mind :wink:, unfortunately im not revealing what powers the 3kg disk until the think tank event though. :)

we should have a all spinners vs beauty 2 after our competition fights to celebrate the coming of beauty 3
unless my dad wants to keep beauty in 1 peace
what you think dad?
o and beauty 1 can go in there 2
which is my dads new toy
just watch the spektrum receiver
lol thanx son
hmm i know the rule doesnt come in til 01/01/2008
but for this competition will you be allowing 13.6kg bots or staying at 12kg for this event
if any 13.6kg machines attend they will be able to enter the whiteboard/fun events
Are there going to be raptors at robo challenge?
not that i know of, but if you want to bring one your more than welcome and if there are a few there will be plenty of time for some whiteboards
ummmm can i ask about the new weight rule, as i dont know about it.
From 01 01 08 feathers will have the weight of 30lbs, like about any other feather over the world.
Main difference is that CO2 users lose the consumables.
thanks mario, was this posted by the fra? did i miss it somewhere?

pic on profile-
as im seeing lots of scary new robots coming through for 2008 (tony booths to name one!) i thought it was time to show a pic of my new fw spinner in build. it has a 3kg disk and the speed is ummmmmm fast :wink:,
James, last minute changes has made me decide this robot is going to be built to the new 13.6 weight limit, so unfortunately will only appear in white boards at your event. will look forward to a full combat event of yours in 2008!
just wondered is anyone taking any fws at the new weight limit to this event to test or anything? as i wont be able to do alot with mine,being at the new weight:sad:
james can i bring something that we can destroy in the arena, to test out the weapon? i will bring a bin bag and broom:lol:

ye that should be fine adrian. look forward to seeing it. i know of at least one other machine thats being built for this event, they are putting skinny armour on to get it into 12kg and then putting the proper armour on for the 13.6kg weight.
