My vote will carry little weight but for what its worth, it goes to Geoff etc.

I have always been a firm believer that there should be international rules.

I took offence to the comment that one said, if you can afford to go to the States to compete then you can afford the modifications to bring into their weight limit etc. Thats hardly the point is it? Its damn expensive living in San Francisco for two weeks. Flights, hotels, car hire, food etc let alone another robot!. All of our experience is set into our rule set and to have to rebuild and design a robot just because we want to compete over the pond etc is not good. The difference might be minor but they certainly do make a difference.

Mike.
