thank you Babeth, option 2 it is.
TerrorHurtz
99kg
Pneumatic Axe
1.3m wide!
kan-opener
100.2 KG
Crushing claws
1.33m wide
Tanto 0.5m wide
the door will be approx 2 meters wide in order to allow robots such as TAN, terrorhurtz and kan-opener to enter the event. Does the 1 meter height cause any problems... loading is NOT one of them by the way, I thought about that before designing the arena. It was just tempting to keep the small door if it was convinient :) it isnt, so I havent
By the way, the guy in charge of organizing the event has asked if youd all like to have a party on the Saturday night. With a local live band, food and possibly beer. If its something people would like Ill let him know to go head with it.
cheers Craig :)
Yay, party! :)
i have had too many middles withdraw, so as of now, the middleweight class is not running in full competition due to lack of entries.
Middles are still welcome to compete in whiteboard type fights, or with the heavies in the competition, either alone or as custers.
I need some feedback please.
Terrorhurtz and kan-opener posted information above, which I hope means they are attending? If this is the case, and of course with all robots, is everyone happy to abide by an American style tap out rule, to save too much damage happening in full competition fights? If so Ill install a submit button.
in FCC a tap out rule makes sense to me. Id say install it.
Tap-outs are for wusses!!! Dont you dare James! :proud:
There speaks a man with unlimited resorces & time!!!
Tap outs are those with more sense than money, or those without 20mm of hardox :proud:

I wish!! :wink:
I just believe that when you put your robot in the arena, then you take whatever is comming your way.
Or put another way..
Do unto others before they do unto you :proud:
I still say install it altough I would hardly use it. I want to do that for the DRG arena to btw.
i could gaffertape red rotating police beacons to each roboteers head, with a Im a giant wuss button on their foreheads? Maybe some sort of chickensong to???
lol, no, not really. I think a universal emergency stop button for tap out and safety stop would be best, so we dont have unheard little, quiet voices shouting important things like...
dont hit me (then they hit you)
leave it alone (then the flip you)
its on fire... stop (then it flamethrowers you)
and
STOP THE FIGHT!!! THERE IS A SMALL CHILD INSIDE THAT ROBOT (or other similar safety concerns.)
good compromise?
:proud:
i remember having an argument with mr Lambert about fighting TX-108, he said dont use ur weapon i said i wont if u wont
but i have to im a flipper
so do i, Im a crusher
these pansies with there flippers, i tell ya :wink:
Unlimited resources my variation of a donkey, if i was unlimited i would of i would of built tanto out of half inch ti, with lems and a custom controller but then id jus be storm 2.
At best Tanto is a pointy box on wheels but at least it looks original.
I have decided to call my tap out button the chicken button. And, (as long as Avian Flu does not get to north wales, in which case I will need to get rid of it) it will be a feature of the show, highlighting anyone hitting it.
By the way, the arena build is coming along really well now, and it looks monsterous!! I may be accused of over-engineering it a bit. Official pics will be released when the woodlands EO says so, but until then, take my word for it, you will be surprised when you see it.
I will be sending out the first batch of e-mails to teams interested in attending in the next week or so. If you want to recieve these e-mails, but have not expressed an interest in coming, please do so now.
It is still committed as a grade 3 event (see new FRA guidelines for advice on things such as axe tethers), but I am pushing very hard to have spinners running in the Raptor and Featherweights class. As the heaviest lightweight currently signed up is 13.6kg, I may also allow spinners in this class, but submit your design to me first as it will not be allowed if it significantly exceeds my current baseline maximum of little spinner. The lightweight class is now capped at 13.6kg unless 3 or more additional robots above this weight sign up.
Looking forward to seeing you all there.
James
Ill try and be there with a FW drum spinner
We should be there,
Merlin - Heavy - FP Flipper
Knightmare - Heavy - FP Flipper
UFO (TBC) - Heavy - LP Fipper
Alpha - FW - Pusher
G3 - FW - FP Flipper

RGDS
John

The show times are
saturday 11am, 2pm, 5pm
sunday 12 noon and 3pm
info on accomodation in the local area and other info will be posted this week.
Thanks James, the plan is that Sally my daughter will be driving. I hope the arena walls are tough as they will probably get a lot of hits from us.
St. Agro carambole ? Ill keep the camera primed then...:rofl:
youll be surprise just how tough terry :)
Leo, is there something new you wish to sign up to my event?
a heavyweight perhaps?
with an axe maybe? :)
ob...sid...ian?
:) well done mate, glad its going to a good home.
Thanks. But I wont be entering it. A lot of our feathers and raptors will be there.
Obsidian will be converted to co2, and then checked from top to bottom. I wont be fighting it before the dutchrobotgames open championships in June.
Is there any clarification or confirmation yet as to whether spinners will be allowed to run at this event?
Ive been looking through the posts and its been mentioned that they could be but its not been confirmed yet. Just curious to know before I decide whether to try and get my drum running for this event.
Cheers,
Jamie
i am waiting in antisipation for the answer to your question jamie.
Sorry, I forgot to add that I meant for featherweights - as Im guessing you might be meaning S3 Adrian (unless youve got a sweet little feather spinner in the build :))
A sweet little feather in the build, will post pic on profile and spec at end of month on completion,Hardox 650 2kg disk, rpm unknown at present but it is going to be scary. first outing will be at roaming robots in june, if not before.
hi guys.
i am still hopeful, but assume no unless otherwise stated.
This will be a timescale decision, so although we may not run spinners at this event, it is likely in future.
Non audience spinner battles are also an option.
well see.
Could we sign up please
Robot Name - Invasion
Class - Feather
major update over the weekend.
formal signup emails going out for those interested to confirm attendance.
Accommodation and location info.
Announcement of arena status and spinner situation.
Of course you can sign up Adrian
Id also like to sign up if you can send me all the details James
James, could you chuck me one of those emails?
and me james
Has this email gone out yet? (just wondering if it went into my spam bin and I missed it)
hi guys
the email has not yet gone out
it will be out sunday night or sooner.
We have been mega busy, so things like roboteer updates are a lttle behind schedule, sorry for the delay.
