who actually builds and competes them?
and wht sort of weapons?
There's no official competitions yet, as there is no arena, but theres a few beetles, I have a drum bot (but I need to re build the chassis as its to heavy) and I have the body of a flipper, but no pneumatics yet, and I know there's quiet a few out there like 180, and stuff, I think if arena is built, this would be a very popular weight class, as there quiet easy and cheap to make
1) As far as I know a full combat arena is being made. And I think there are a few bw's knocking about. Someone made a small rep of 360. Which in turn is a rep of hypno disc. And IIRC K_c_r is making a rep of Pussycat.Quote:

someone should set up a beetle weight competion,
anyone got the rules set for beetles?
yes there are rules
the arena is being built
Problem is the active weapons, so you really need an arena to run them, can't really just take them along to events and have a go between shows or anything as the vast majority of them at the moment seem to be spinners.Quote:

The second point I don't think would be a problem as Robo challenge are making an arena!
But work on designs won't start here, until an arena has been finished, examined and passed.
I am hopeful this will be this year but till it's done or a firm date published, I would not get too keen on building the robots.
