clarification on rules

[craig_colliass]

Has in practice this ever happened in the UK champs.

"In the UK featherweight championship, you get 1 point just for entering the arena in the group stages. That 1 point can be the difference between making it straight through and having to compete in a play-off . This is especially helpful if you take an absolute battering in a fight and have limited repair time, and it’s beneficial to all competitors, not just those with a particular design/weapon type."

Has anyone with a one wheeled robot made it through to the main competition.

If I do make it to the FW UK champs, and am confronted with a one wheeled machine, I think I might spend three amusing minutes watching it try to get across the arena whilst my machine dose figure of eights just to comply with the rule you do agree with.

I think we can agree to disagree on the points you raised. I am just about to stick the wheels on the lunch box, Pictures to follow.

I have just looked at all the posts and i think the rules should be changed to account for a one wheel drive robot so i propose that the immobilsation rule should not be one side gone your out it should be that the whole robot has to be dead to win that way there is no arguments and if any one thinks that this is wrong think about it if you cant beat a one wheeled drive robot then you deserve to lose i know if that happend to me i would be disapointed but i wouldnt be able to argue and and it makes the rules so much clearer

I thought at the last AGM that you Will and Craig accepted the task of sorting out the scoring system for the FRA. Does immobility not come under scoring for the judges?
