Robot Wars Series VIII - Week 3 Discussion

[katch]

There really isn't a response a disagree with, my post having re-read it is from a Viewer point of view, and possibly closed minded.
After reading some of the responses it shows a different mind set from a Participant.

I think what i meant with Armour more than anything is the Impact surface have a thickness limit, i guess some clever person might support a thinner skin with more bracing, negating the benefit of that rule...

I did notice a huge amount of bots suffering safety circuit failing ? what are people using that just falls out ?

All too often, a robot's removable link falls out. In case you didn't know, this is literally just a bit of wire between the battery and the rest of the robot's circuitry that is intended to disable it completely for safety reasons. This is intended to be removable from a distance without using any tools, which is why it so often tends to fall out. You are allowed to put a cover over it, but that has to be removable without tools too. Not all countries have this regulation, but as far as I know it's FRA and Robot Wars rules.
