i cant see me winning this year tho lol 2 many good bots so its going to be a close one!
and ye sort rip out - that small ram needs improving :P
The first round for me is the worst possible out come. 2 flippers lol. if i can survive that ive got a good chance of going far... i hope :P
thanks :)
Gonna be good !!
John
it sounds all exciting. makes me wanna build.
ill be staying at my hose so i can help update the forum
reasonable rounds for both robots but who is
sting ???
serious question here i know we need 2 drivers for two robots but as in the first heat both ours are in different fights can i control both robots?
i hope so lol
my dads terrible at driving
but if we fight each other we do have 2 drivers
so id like to know the answer to this to
I would like to know this as well as I normally drive both whirlpool and aftershock
what robot is critical damage dont think ive seen it before
As for drivers it says at the begining of this thread
Same rules as the European champs. Every robot in the championship must have its own designated driver.
:) might as well give me the Trophy now as save me all the truble :)
ps beauty 3 has not moved yet!! Doh!
Alex, Sting has been built in my garage, nough said :)
As Tony pointed out we are running the same rules as the European champs - Each robot must have its own seperate driver. This is to eliminate people entering as many robots as possible to have one of them get lucky. Being a large championship we want to see the best of the best, and therfore this rule stops people putting in 6 or 7, and the chance of comming up against each other.
Some of the old rules like 1 robot per team were seen as unfair when 2 different drivers in the same team have their own feathers and only 1 enter.
E-mails will be sent out tonight with all the info about the event.
But the main driver can drive 2 robots when not set against eachother right? That when 2 robots enter from the same team one will drive one and one will drive the other is logical, but when only 1 robot of us is in the arena, I usually drive.
Yeah I see no problem with one person driving two robots so long as theyre not in the same fight. If said two robots go on to meet each other in a fight, as long as youve got a second driver (which should be the case if you stick to the rules) then you can both just drive and fight it out
Matt, Critical Damage - dont know if you remember it from the Xbotz Wales event last year. Big upturned wheelbarrow with a Scottish Saltire painted on it :)
It wont have the wheelbarrow armour this time though; were going back to the normal wedge shape for it. But my teammate has been responsible for rebuilding it and has done so out of 4mm perspex. So if Miss Scorpion Tilly hits it (assuming that robot is what used to be a Scorpion spinner) then it may well shatter!
leo i hope so as i dont drive lol
Nope, one robot to one driver thoughout the competition. You drive it in the first round and you drive it in the final. No other machines.
Tested 360 last night, went kinda sphyco and started throughing bits of the tarmac we were driving it on at us lol
Leo, you know you dont want me to drive in a competition. You only ask me to drive when you want to test your robot most thoroughly against self-inflicted damage. :mrgreen:
360 now has the spikes and wheel guards :) pic on profile
Thats the best feather rep of a heavy weight ive seen in ages, since Kitty then Venom. Though i dont think Kitty will beat venom and 360 like what happened in the heavy weights. LOL. Love it. Cant wait to see a video clip of its first fight.
Mr Stu
Looks very nice :)
suppose it will do
Thanks stu, Hopefully ill have time to paint the spiral on the disc for this event, Unfortunatly the selfwrighter wont be finished- so im pretty screwed from the start. Ive got all the parts for the arm and all the gears and the astro to power it all, just havnt had the time to machine the gearbox plates up.
Would be pretty awsome to have that 3 way fight but i dont see it happening unfortunatly. I ment to take a pic of 360 next to kitty last time i saw it but forgot, let me know next time its coming for display :)
Id better show the hypnodisc team at some point aswell lol
Yer 360 needs some more work to get it driving well whilst the disc spins lol. Its abit liek warhead, but worse:proud:
If we can sort that out then whoever gets hit by it will wish they hadnt entered lol! (if it works ok on the day that is!)
Its not like you can go straight for it before it spins up either - so id try and keep away :wink:, i know i will.
LJ 360 is OOTA 1st flip or your dead man ;)
I would be carefull :proud:
360 wont just flip like normal - when the disc spins its like warhead and as soon as you flip it the disc will tilt forward and most likely remove your flipper.
I seeing how little the disc slowed down whilst continually hitting the floor with no power you can really see how much energy is stored in it when its going. That means trying to flip it will be very fun..... for 360 :rofl:
Hopefully ill have time to paint the spiral on the disc for this event,
I dare you to spin it up and stick a paint brush on it!
hi everyone,
Has there been an email sent stating directions, times to arrive and start of the comp yet?
Thanks,
ROB....
Cant wait to see 360 spin up.
Grant, shutup it will probs break lol
Shame theres no pain in the asp signed up, wanted to fight the other new mini bot

i havent got one yet robert,
footballs on so prob be after that :P
Sorry Dave, the Asp is busy... After conquering the Middle East last month, Pain In The Asps quest for world domination continues... This weekend its doing its thing in South East Asia!! :wink:
PITA conquered the Middle East?
Cant say I really noticed much - is it more of a laid back type brutal dictator? :proud:
do we still get the 20% scales error margin ?????
I think when the rules changed the 2% rule was gotten rid of.. not sure though?
In the US you dont get that margin.
We will NOT be running thw 2% rule, at 13.6kg already 2% margin is just getting silly. That margin was used incase of incorrect scales but the ones we are using are newly calibrated and exact.
E-mails should be going out later tonight.
