Yeah as James and a few others of you say, you can fit all these nasty weapons and so on into 15kg, people with the money and so on will just build all these cool robots, and they will be very impressive and great, would love to see them, but also as james said - what about the new people.

At 12kg there is a sort of balance between super weapons and good armoured robots at the moment. To rasie it to 15kg - the powerful robots are going to take over and leave no room for new comers.

But what about the people who have worked sooo hard to get their robots to 12kg. Using Ti and all sorts to get the weight right down to 12kg, spent money on lighter items. Some would say, more weight, means use cheaper heavier stuff like SLA batteries - but we all know, with the current roboteers, that will not be the case, as James said above, 36v Nicads - bang in the robot = one cool deadly robot. Im sure Little Spinner will add another Mag LOL. So its a hard one.

Deep down i would like it to stay at 12kg.
Maybe stretch to 13.6kg, but prefer 12kg,
but 15kg is a no no.
