My God -
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.
Any robot that deliberately attacks the link would be disqualified,
Do hope your having a laugh.
The safety requirements Roobts have at the moment are good enough. The LED light addition is to help the roobteer and others know if the robot is alive or not when doing anything. A standard lighting rule should be made for the LED lights. A certain light for when the roobt is alive, or just RX on or in failsafe mode.
You start making and deactivating robots using a 10foot pole - then the hobby turns into who has the best balance skills to pull their link out.
Tis getting a bit silly now. How about we make RC ejection links. Press a button and your link auto pops out? Anyone for this rule?
Mr Stu
