FRA FW 2015 World Championships - Hosted by Robo Challenge

[james...venom]

The qualifying format as mentioned had 2 objectives.

1- Gain a number of entries from countries outside the UK.
2- Ensure we had the best 51 combat machines possible fighting for the World Championship

To do this we asked for peoples country as this would satisfy objective no.1. To fulfill the second objective we asked teams for their previous history at high profile championships including any achievements/awards. Understanding that newcomers may be more competitive or have great potential we asked for those building new robots or new teams to explain the robot they were building so we could make a decision on the final few spaces. Most robots naturally were going to gain a place because of their position in the UK championships such as Defector. It could be a poor robot or look boring but it would gain a place because its been a proven competitive machine (just an example, not saying its either of those). Diversity wasnt a deciding factor, we simply wanted the most competitive World Championships possible.

I feel both objectives have been successful. No.1 because we have more competitors attending from overseas than ever which is fantastic. No.2 is proven because nobody has an easy draw So we know the standard of robots people have created is amazing and I certainly cant wait to see who will be the worthy World Champion!

So looking at the draw how many points do you think your robot will score and how many will the cut off point be? My feel with Predator is I need to get 1 knockout and 3 second places would get me to 10 points but im not sure if thats enough?

Id agree that itll be 10 for a tie breaker, with 11 to go through auto.

Problem with my draw is there are so many variables i dont know about.

Fight 1: Defector vs Catharsis vs 722
Fight 2: Defector vs Flow vs Decimator
Fight 3: Defector vs Binky vs DCH
Fight 4: Defector vs Tormenta 3 vs Endeavour

Will Flow work? - i could beat Binky last year but i hear its much improved - can i get under Tormenta? - will it actually be in 1 piece after the first fight.

I think i can certainly win at least one by knockout, with 2nds in the rest. Though possibly also get another win along the way with abit of luck.
