General Feather Fight Issues
Stu, I know youre only using an example :) Pillow has been known to ram opponents into the wall at full throttle in a whiteboard fight but believe me its not being unfriendly because if Jenny & I think the opponent will suffer irrepairable damage from that kind of hit then well back off from deliberately smashing them into the wall. We would rather warn someone to stay out of the way rather than say that well go easy on them because in a melee Pillow can pick anyone up at random and ram them into the wall on a simple run through the pack.

Sorry but its called Robot Combat, I have and never will ask someone to go easy on any of my robots because its not my intention to get an easy fight. althou if someone asks me not to do something aka with TX-108 for example im willing to compramise because my view isnt everyones view, we dont all have the luxury of having being ableto rebuild a robot over a week no matter how bad it gets damaged. My point is its freedom of choice if u dont want to fight someone dont fight them, if ur taking to much damage and wantto stop the fight surrender no one is going to have a go at u for saying stop, weve had it in ants were u can submit but drivers are too proud to give in, dont be you have nothing to gain by doing it.
its also not just in the feathers certain heavies refuse to get in the arena with the likes of Terrorhurtz or Kan Opener even happens in the ants.

You are right Craig. Were talking about combat here. Our robots are supposed to take damage because that is not only the name of the game, but the purpose as well.
Mario and I have a simple philosophy: If our robot cant take what its got coming, then its not worth its place in the arena.
We do however believe in extensive testing during demo fights before joining the White Board fights proper. But once we put our robots name on that White Board we are engaged to the consequences.
