A brilliant move by the FRA - alienate their one FW events organiser. The FRA says that it issues guidelines, and it's up to the Event Organisers to choose how the implement - I'm sorry but if RoboChallenge want to make that choice that's up to them, if the FRA really wants to alienate them - I would say that would be a very bizzare step to take.

FWIW I agree with the concept of the active weapons rule for the feathers, they need all the help they can get for spectacle - a drill box vs a drill box is boring. HOWEVER I would say that a newcomer on their first year CAN run a push-box as the sport needs an easy entry point, that then encourages people to innovate and grow.
