Andrews my team mate

. We went to 13.6kg since the US manage to run some international event and a lot of us would like to jump the pond once in a while.

VL was made for under $50AUD excluding IBC and Radio gear. If we had a few $$$, VL could make the 12kg limit.

thats a thing i have been wandering . Is there any news on the feather weight , weight limit . Is it still 12kg or aare we moving with the changes and making it 13.6 kg ?

Speaking to alot of the UK roboteers - i personaly think it sounds like it may stay at 12kg - the true feather weight - weight limit.

Any possable changes to the weight limit are due to be discussed at the next FRA committee meting, due to take place on 12/02/05.
We will let you all know the outcome shortly afterwards.
If you want your views on this subject to be taken into account, please contact your regional rep before the meeting. (contact details are on the FRA web-site)
Part your regional reps job is to pass YOUR views on to the committee, so please use them and make sure that YOU have YOUR say as to how our sport should develop.
