Antweight World Series 44 - Brize Norton, Oxfordshire

Hey guys

Because this is an Antweight centred event, the beetle fights may run in an odd order, but also, due to the potential of more robots than I'd hoped/planned for, the first matches may well need to be 3 way melees. Along with 2 losers melees, this ensures everyone gets at least 2 fights, and let's the comp finish in 4 less fights as opposed to standard Double Elimnation, but does mean the 1st round winners, if they lose the next fight, they're out. I'm looking for some input on this.

We'll have to see how the day develops I guess, there might be room for a last beetle standing fight afterwards.

I do hope to get more action than just 6 minutes of fun (If my beetle stays active that long)

RPM looks vicious but how much does it weigh? I`m asking because I`m having big difficulties with the weight of Nefarious and its smaller and mainly hdpe?
