Andrew, my insurers are not specifically knowledgeable on live robot event safety.
They have seen proof of my work experience and qualifications that go with that work.
They are satisfied that I have the technical and safety knowledge to manage the event safely.

Send me an email; I will give you their details.

The only rule I have suggested changing is that the safety links are altered so they are removable, in an emergency, using a 10 foot long pole with a hook on the end, and the gas turned off by the same action.
I will not insist on that this year but will next.
I would like to see roboteers at this year€™s event using their initiative to suitably adapt their links.

Power ON warning lights may be fitted or not, as you wish.

I will publish a set of rules ASAP.



Daniel, dont worry, you will get over it.
With your disparaging attitude you would not have made it onto one of my bomb disposal or mine clearance teams. Several like you tried, but we rejected them.
You should give some thought to the possibility that some people do know what they are doing, even if you don€™t know that.
