Hi Alan, I'm assuming you have seen the wooden robot class thread and I was wondering how you would feel it between shows we had a wooden class fight? Also, if we could run spinning disks designed for cutting wood at a certain rpm/weight/size limit?
This could be a test theory and if it works out well, could become part or the show? Bringing the destructive element back to RL :)
I think its better to run trials before trying to introduce it into a show. I'm not keen on any spinny material in the RL arena anyway, not that it couldn't take it, especially with the wood, but the risk of shattered saw blades is a high one, and carry the same risk of cutting through a net roofing as anything else, so I think it needs some external trialing before wew take it to a venue.
BTW, I for Scrap Dog confused with Fortis, my bad.
hi alan what games are there going to be this year so i can decide who dose what.
shane
Just signed 540 up - can you confirm you got it? As I signed up weeks ago and I'm not on your list. Cheers
Looks like we've got a few Wild cards attending this event :)
I obviously know who Full Tilt is, who's is Fortis and Scrap Dog?
Got it Dave, might have deleted your other signup when i cleared the Worthing ones. Scrap Dog is Craig Danby, Fortis is Sean Bells.
Saints and Sinners Team
Just so the team knows, I will be at a Golden wedding lunch in Oxford on Saturday, I hope to leave at about 2.30-3.00pm so time will be tight for the 6pm Saturday show. Dave you can take Cherub off me at Portsmouth if you wish.

Quick outline of the format, more will be in the roboteers email.
As said before, it will be different than last year in that all teams are competing in each show not just 2. So rather than you having a chaotic show, and then not taking part in the next, it will spread over the 3 shows. Every robot should get at least one fight/game per show. Points will be awarded for each fight/game, team with the most at the end of the 3 shows, wins!
Fight 1: 4 way fight, one robot from each team
Hockey: Two teams, two robots from each
FW
Fight (Special): Two teams, two robots from each. Different type of fight in each show (Driver swap, tag team, flipper frenzy ect, if you can think of any more types let me know)
Pinball: Two Teams, One robot from each, more features this year including a see-saw.
Interval
Boxers
Tag Team: Two Teams, two robots from each
Speedway: Two Teams, one robot from each, but ran twice so other two teams compete as well.
FW
Skele
Mellee: All Teams, two or three robots from each, depending on how many are running/attend.
After all three shows all teams will have competed in the same number of games/fights, but teams may compete in certain games more than others.
I have seen what I believe to be Scrap Dog and can only say 'well done', after a few minutes just staring XD what on earth have you done Craig?
are you looking at my scorpion Joey? Scrap Dog is a wedge, scorpion is also made of scrap
but thats not for combat
Ah, I was, in which case I don't know if I've seen Scrap Dog XD
I have worked out that if our when our team is selected to do Pinball, there must be three slots for the melee otherwise every robot will not have a chance to go in
Other than that, everything sounds great, I am assuming since the alternating events are as follows:
- Tag Team (Combat)
- Special Fight (Combat)
- Hockey (Game)
- Pinball (Game)
Each team will have one combat event and one game per show, or am I incorrect on this?
Alan, id like to add 2 things, Avengerous is actually called Avenger-ess
2nd, unless i can magically get it working, it'll be a static
have another look Joey, I've labelled the pictures now
avengerous sounds better though!
The plan is to have 3 in from each team in the final fights if theres enough, if not it will be the 2. The mix of combat/game will vary with each show and team due to the way its had to be done to make sure all teams get and equal amount over the weekend.Quote:
