As someone new to the actual fighting scene (not new to robotics or electronics) I don't see why people should be limited. I would take great pleasure in beating someone with a massive budget using a very cheap robot.

What I've learnt over the last couple of weeks is that there is a good progression up the ranks with all the weight classes and people should pick what class they enter based on budget and capability and work up from there. I'm going to start with a featherweight as they reflect the class im used to working with more but then hopefully in a few years come up with a heavyweight.

Will be interested to see what the new partnership with multiplay brings. I know they have some fantastic facilities with things like twitch and internet broadcasting will we see a live feed from their events in the future?
