Hello!
Im a roboteer from Austria, and i read this thrend about the Hobbyweigths.
The German Roboteer Assosiation (GRA) has invented a class called Raptors in this weigth (5,44 kg). Nearly the same discussion about weightlimits occured before. In my opinion, its more interesting for beginners to build Raptors than Ants, the fight is more spectacular. This is also importaint for visitors.
In january we had the first little event in this weightclass in Bochum. If you want to see two little movies of these fights look at: http://www.team-crashlab.com/DreamHC/Seite38.htmlhttp://www.team-crashlab.com/DreamHC/Seite38.html
(http://www.team-crashlab.comhttp://www.team-crashlab.com - this is my homepage, where you can also find my three 5,44kg-bots and a gallery of some other robots in this class)
best regards,
Roland
