Active Weapon Rule?

Nothing worse for a spinner owner to be drawn against a Hardox box but its entertaining to watch!

Its not exactly bad. We were really looking forward to our fight with Binky against Cicatrix and Turisas as we knew that they would be flying and we wouldn't.

If someone has decided to build a spinner proof box there is nothing better for them than putting it to the test. That doesn't mean destroying it cos its a box, it means is their design good enough to take the hits. Most are, cos its easy, but against a vertical disc they don't usually last long... OOTA!

Just noticed this thread.

Firstly - Our events next year will be the same rules as this year, there has never been a point where we have discussed doing our own thing with our own rules.

Secondly - Any proposals that we come up with for the FRA are entirely for the long term future of the sport. It is honestly not about our events but how we as roboteers feel the sport could evolve for its benefit. We did propose that non active weapon bots be given a lower weight limit to try and encourage teams to take a step up. In all honesty there are plenty of great ram bots its just the drill brick v drill brick battles that can be difficult.

Thirdly - Anything Mr Danby says regarding us, our clients, what we are planning to do, what we have done, what we have said or what we didnt say is automatically questionable. No we dont plan to ban bricks next year unless it was an FRA rule.
