Im happy with the transmitter... think Geoffs happy with the transmitter.

Works perfectly buried inside the robot.

If Jonnos happy we can use the DX6 at his events then Ill quite happily recommend people use it at his events.

[geoff]

Yep, Im very happy with it too. Just put it in Small Torque and it works a treat, even buried behind 6mm of titanium!

P.S. Simon, what sort of range do you get with the cat!!

Thats my que to order one i think.

typical, just ordered a new 40mhz set yesterday

What happened to 1 robot per team per weight class. Looking at the list this does not seem true. As each of our team members have there own robots they wanted to enter them but could not as it said 1 robot per team per weight class. So Teamdragon is withdrawing Dragonstrike from the featherweight comp for the sake of team peace.

just brought a dx6 for £129 aprox $199

i tested kennys at fairford seemed very good

Ok, my response !!!

Up until RIAT last year, we didn€™t have a problem with teams entering more than one robot in each weight category.

However, when I run a competition at the largest Air Show, one of our premier events, and we get to the final of the competition, one team has managed to get all three of their robots into the final, only for them to make a mockery of the whole thing by a) letting someone else drive one of the robots, b) not even attack each other and dance around like a bunch of fairies, leading to audience wondering what the point of the competition was€¦ then I feel we DO have a problem.

The rule was quite simply made for one team, and I have been open and told them so many times as they openly admit they would never fight full on against each other!

If you look at the main teams with more than one robot apart from the one in question€¦€¦

Dantomkia / Scorpion
Batter / scorpion jn / pillow
Merlin / UFO
Alpha / G3
Dragon / other dragons

Each one of those has always fought as separate teams and not as one unit
Each one would in a final or any round of a competition, fight to the death and WOULD NOT MAKE A MOCKERY OF A COMPETITION. And have done before !!

Most of the above teams, have split themselves up, they will enter their own robots, under their own teams, under their own membership, and WILL fight as separate teams.

I am interested if anyone has a solution to this problem, but there is only one team which create it, even since RIAT last year, their has been fights with very little combat, robots pulled out, and even at XFM this weekend, I believe the same was true, and nothing has changed, there is a problem.

If they were to enter as 3 separate teams, and fight as 3 separate teams, and actually fight to the death then there wouldn€™t be a problem at all, and I wouldn€™t be writing this,.

What am I to do, put yourself in an event organisors position.

Tony , I€™m sorry if you feel strongly, I would be very interested in your solution to my problem, I want to see as many robots fight as possible.

A question for you, could you sit and watch the final of the uk champs, where hundreds of people have paid good money to watch this all out championship, and the three robots don€™t touch each other??? And feel proud to be trying to take our sport forward in terms of events, and not letting it die€¦. Cause I wont.

I hope you see things from my side and we don€™t loose your application.

Answers on a postcard !!!
