that would be one possible example.
another would be half way through the year there is an Iron Awe VI and Iron Awe V is sold to another team (just an example). Does IA6 loose the history of points wins or do they get the IA5 points and IA5 has to start again?
Not really a big issue over the winter tour but in a whole year?
should have said IA6 was completely new part way throught he year. (appologies if I have lost track of build number).
I would suggest with this scenario the team elects which bot takes the score
would not deter new builds.
Avoiding possible ill feeling by setting out the rules seems a sensible solution and would give certainty to the teams - so not a we will tell you when we see it rule.
I like the idea of a long competition - it just comes with some complications
Thats a goods point Mark,
And hopefully if people keep thinking of the problems, we can resolve them before they occur.
I think in that scenario, when one robot replaces another, as an evolution, the points can stay with the team, and the new robot gets them.
When someone starts a new robot, wih a new concept which clearly isnt an evolution then they start a fresh with the points too.
Like in rallying, if a driver wrecks his car, they build a new one and carry on. Formula 1 teams develop their cars over the year. Football teams get new players.
It can easily be compared, and i dont see it being a problem.
So you would be able to use the old one.... and then tranfer over to the new one when ready.
Good point though.

Not sure about feathers yet.
And you get to fight a robot twice only.
John
so we can fight TZH twice in 1 day cool :)
Thanks John, I think allowing evolution is a sound decision. Max twice against any bot is good too.
... even better JL is happy to swap if we draw THz, new Alice will have fresh paintwork and we wouldnt want it scratched.
... that isnt a challange to THz to do more than scratch the paintwork!
Hi all, sorry to hear that RIAT wont have the same standing as it did last year but still very much looking forward to going. This will be the first week-end of my annual holidays. I hope it will be a little bit easier getting onto the camping field than it was last year although it was great fun watching all the idiots skidding all over the place - eh Swanny? Good job you werent the same size as our Mark!
To Jason Team BUD my turn to fetch the stilton and crackers.
