Any one driver may only drive one robot during the competition. This is regardless of whether you are knocked out of the competition or not.

So, I tested Flow last weekend on full pressure and it kind of self destructed.
Heres some pictures of the old bulkheads and the new ones.

The old bulkhead in the picture was alot worse than its show there. Its been straightened out a bit to get the pneumatic system out of the robot. It was quite amusing when I fired the flipper and the robot landed back on the ground in a twisted mess.
Apart from that minor setback everythings looking good.

Ill do a bit of an update build diary with a few more pictures showing whats been changed over the last 1-2 weeks.
Hopefully Flow will be finished in the next day or 2 and should be ready to be ripped appart by spinners at the event.

You do know the qualifiers are a league system right?

I had to ask this last year. It seems to be common knowledge, but as a newbie I was completely unaware!

Someone kindly copy and pasted how the system works from another previous year, but would be nice (especially with all the new bots this year) to get all the details together.
