Ewan, sadly you seem to have missed the whole point of a link and the rules on two accounts : [*]Youre not in a position to make a deciscion as to whether or not the position of the link matters, those setting the rules and the event organisers are. Secondly - the concern is that should you put in your link, and the weapon start up for whatever reason, the first thing that would happen is it could seriously injure your hand.[/list]
Im sorry as Im sure youve put a lot of work into your bot. but a weapon like that will NOT be allowed at the Xmas Featherweight Event, nor any Roaming Robots event Ewan - you must have a link that you can put in safely without your hand having to be in the path/way of the weapon ! Ignoring the rules as it were - surley common sense dictates this ?
