Im sorry you felt that way peter,
but as you said, the Feather Weights were putting the show on, and needed to be tech checked and in the arena to fight. If the feathers were not running - then the public would have complained and demand ticket refunds and all sorts. And to bite the bullet - the event was called Feather Weight Smash 2004. It was clear from the start that ant weights would be gap fillers and run if they can get the frequencys they needed.

But i admit it was getting a bit silly in the morning, and when finally i was told about it from Chris and Craig - i sorted it with TX control by giving set times between Feather Fights for just ant weights then all was fine. It was just due to the LARGE amount of feather weight battles needed to take part in the morning to one put on the show, and two, to get ready for the semi finals etc for the afternoon.
The ant weights sorted most of their battles in the 1 hour lunch gap. It took 3 hours to get the feathers ready for the Quarter finals.
So sadly when its mentioned people are biassed on the size and weight of the robots- well thats because they need more time, space, safety concern etc.

But im happy to admit - it might have been my fault in placing TX control too far away from the ant weights, which was a big part of the problem. In future this will not happen, and all will be fine. Please dont get upset over something little. Like was asid above, TX control Angie and Rach did a great job!!! We all live and learn.
