OK I just saw this earlier today. And let me say its a little F*&%ed.
Nobody from Australia is attending this event as we are hosting our Nationals competition in a separate state otherwise I hope someone would have said something to the organisers.
Oh and here is a video which makes it look worse.
I really want to know what happened here as initially we were in talks with EB to do the event for our nationals competition however after a few months they dropped off talks and then announced Robot Wars was Coming for the First Time from the UK. *sigh*
I don't really care too much as we are more interested in the compeition not the show which is always difficult to balance at these sorts of events. However I really want to know what the hell happened with the arena.
What I am guessing happened was that EB said they would make the arena (something which they promised us) then the guys showed up there and this is what they got. Not sure if this is likely or not but I really want an explanation. As one person getting hurt is the difference between us never being able to run a public event ever again and this is just bullshit.
For anyone who is interested in what a real Australian Feather only arena looks like.

Notice the 6mm polycarb and steel......
I want it to be known that we would never run Heavies in a mesh cage in front of the public.
That ends my rant.
