As it turns out, all my spare titanium sheet is too thick & heavy to use - might have to go with UMHW or just double up the polycarb for axe bot matches.

I was worried about axe's... then I realized I've also got a weapon

I'll just stick some 3mm hdpe on top of 720 to take a bit of the shock out... Looking forward to the draw now!

Trouble is, our weapons only count if we are facing the axe bot; if we get pinned from the side, we are going to take a couple of hits. I plan on super aggressive charging to take out axe bots ASAP.

Sorry for the noob question: how is the annihilator run? Is it optional, run after or before the main rounds, how do I sign up for it?

Annihilator entry is invite only by the event organisers from the working machines that are not in the semifinals. The criterion are variety of weapon, potential missed in the main competition and, well, winning last year's annihilator.

What make & model is the weighing scale?

Well played

I'm looking at sticking a weapon on top, but it's a race against time now!

The 3 way melees always look fun too, glad they're back this year again

Annihilator is optional yes, usually run after the first round is complete and one or two of each type of robot is picked to enter. Normally 6 robots.

OK, Thanks for the info.

Hi Alex,

On impact 7x M6 12.9 was cutted like butter lol

4 on sides and 3 that was holding gearbox. Plus 2 bent M6 on botton, but i need to agree that was because the horrible desing and not just because NST hit.

No joking, im sure that if a vertical or drum robot (Bink p.e

) hit the rear of C3, will hit the roof of arena.
