amended rules of engagement look fine to me.
Ed is a very valid target. Even if he is screaming Uncle.
If any personnell damage is done then the offending person will have to look after Kiara for a day!!!

Bring buckets - I recollect water taps are quite scarce on site.
Kev.
after all this isnt just about whos got the best weapon.
Thatd be mario with his 30kg backpack! Be afraid be very afraid.

Im getting the kids to practise a cluster bot type attack this weekend. Shame we cant fit the wetsuits and scrim in the car.
St. Agro
ok if roboteers are valid targets then team bud will be up for a water fight but we have a slight advantage of a couple of quadbikes so we will be refilling our guns faster. :) also a basket of waterbombs wouldnt go a miss either.
Please complete the following well known phrase, (How you expect it to be used Sunday morning)
You will never believe what Swanny got up to last night, He......blank.....
Prizes for the first correct answer.
Roger.
Well if any of you bu33ers even think of getting me wet, just remember this......
Ill be wearing a white t-shirt, and you DON@T want to go there!
:)
WJ are you nuts? nice women in wet t-shirts? as opposed to the nice women with their tops off? ie miss kit car. forgot about them then, are they viable targets?
Hmm. Has anyone else (apart from Ed) looked at the weather forecast for next weekend? It looks like its going to rain most of the weekend. And not be very warm at night either.
Bring blankets as well as supersoakers...
Looks like well all be getting wet then. Ill be the one with UNCLE printed back and front on his t-shirt. So maybe not as wet as everyone else, or is that just wishfull thinking.
Mario can we have a try of your super super super soaker pleeeeaaass.
I was planning to bring along a trebuchet that was built for Technogames4 designed to fire 7.5kg shot. For safety reasons I was going to detune it to fire water bombs, in light of the recent posts I might leave it in my mates garage.
On the other hand I could hire it out - any offers?
well.. im gonna play nice and just bring a water pistol... BUT Mikey is still gonna be the first target! *giggles*... so hed better watch out, and I wont be babysitting for kia, cos im only gonna be an audience *innocent look*... see you all next Saturday! *gulps*
footnote: just curiousity... will there be any house robots there aformentioned or was that just a rumour?
There are plans to have House Robots, but not 100% confrimed. Good chance they wil show up, we will see. Mentorn being a bit iffy about lending house robots out to events lately. Yes mentorn do STILL have a small say about the house robots.
I think we will all be on Audrey Alert on Saturday then. The rules above stating no water guns on the pits, may have to bend that rule and have 3 supersoakers hidden until we spot Audrey, and fire at the crowd where shes standing.
Mr Stu
Nah just a bloody big bucket and dunk her in it
I think well have to have armed MLDF guards roaming around in the audience on the lookout for Audrey.
Somebody tell me.....
The MLWF wanna get Mike wet. The MLDF wanna stop the MDWF getting Mike wet. It could turn out into a production by the Batley Townwomens Guild.
What will Mike be doing while all this is going on? Hell be in hiding eating all the BBQ food and drinking all the beer thats what hell be doing!
Stu,
The rules above stating no water guns on the pits, may have to bend that rule
You WILL NOT bend that rule in any way, shape or form!
Robots, electronics, 240V mains supply + water do not mix!!...let alone the risk of slipping in a wet floor while carrying a 100Kg robot!!
If I see anything discharged in the pit / arena area the offender WILL be out of there in very short order! Roboteer or Audience, I dont care.
If its a roboteer (who should know better) They WILL be delt with very serverly by the event organiser and the FRA!
What you do outside is not my concern, and I will be perfectly happy to join in...But outside IS were it stays!
Sorry to have to be blunt. I dont want to spoil anyones fun, but this is a SERIOUS safety issue and as such, IS NOT open for debate!

@ James :
A viable target for wet T-shirt thingies would someone (female ofcourse) who would be willing to get out of those wet clothes in my close presence an would fall for stupid lines like : If I told you you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me ?...
Maybe James would fall for that line but no woman would (unless she were p*****) :)
Geoff,
Thanks for the Clarification about Water Fights and Pits.
All - I dont believe any of you will be so foolish to bring them into the pits - but Geoff is absolutely correct to be blunt.
Be warned - they will not be tolerated inside the robot hall.
WRT House Robots, Im afraid to say that they will Not be comming - due to Mentorn sddenly changing the rules about theyre freedom for display :sad:
Appart from that - everything is looking really good for the weekend :)
Kev.
@ Karoline:
Most women in England Ive met till now, were indeed all p*****... Granted, it was 10:30 in the evening and all of britain seems to be getting drunk at that time...
Unfortunately what you say is completely true. We are culturally backward in this country when it comes to drinking and (anti)socialising.
If I can fit it in the car with everything else, I will bring my Supadupa soaker for the use of MLDF. Its not as sophisticated as Marios armament, but does hold 20l of water, and shoots over 10m.
:-)
TTFN

HELP
Were still putting our robot back together. This weekend I took it to pieces to get the base of the ram in the right way round and last night did the same again because it was right the first time ARGHHHHHHHH. We also found that our bottle to manifold coupling had cracked and had to make a new one. So now were very behind.
Get the electronics in tonight and then button up.
We wont have time to finish the spikes on our wheels and Im hoping that a power on LED arrives tomorrow.
Could sombody bing a set of bolt cutters on Friday and Ill be able to finish our wheels off then.
Is there actually any teams?
If so, theres 5-6 for team Rc Wars!!
oh btw, stu has been telling me an dave that he wants to get really wet!
And one last thing, whatch out for dave, he wants to give a special someone a little kissy :)
Looking forward to it all, bringing the caravan as usuall, with a few 6kg robots for some guys who want to test theirs!
Grant-PloughBot
Terry, wasnt planning to come up till saturday morning...
But Ill put the bolt cutters in for you.

Many thanks Kane, it will save me a lot of work with a grinder.

No man is safe! And youll be 1st!
Only kidding - I wouldnt fire acid at anyone....unless I was an ant and therefore I couldnt help meself :)
I couldnt help wondering if the women present are worth all this trouble ?
I think I am (sob)
Grant, shame on you! You shouldnt be thinking of things like that at your age - youre too young to deal with it responsibly (I was going to say handle it but thought better of it) :proud:
WJ, are you saying that the great British woman looks like they have been hit by the back end of a bus? Shame on you.
Mike.
I never said back end.
either end will do.
