Team Coolspeedbot: first feather weight robot

[TechAUmNu]

Generally accepted tip speed on FW is 250mph, but that really doesn't help. If your blade has very high MOI it doesn't really matter what the tip speed is. I think the limit should be left alone because reducing it would disadvantage small diameter spinners too much as they need the extra speed to get any energy. Would it have been less of a problem if you had known that neon/shrapnel would have been in the fight? Having two rumbles and maybe capping weapon energy in at least one of them would be a better solution.

From the video I saw Neon hit the same bot quite a lot, even after they were pretty dead already. I think maybe just a reminder that its not a knockout competition and just a bit of fun might help. Although it is a full combat event, so if you go in expecting to not take any damage... I donno, its a hard one. A poll of what people want on FB might be a good idea.

Its also very hard to see anything in that arena, especially if you are behind a crowd of people. Maybe something for people in the back row to stand on would help with that. The edges are very dark compared to the centre of the arena, so more even and brighter lighting would also be helpful.
