Arena Floors

[jamesb]

lol

Why are you constantly being an idiot. absolutly everthing we say you have to come and post something negative about it?

its not normal paint, its a light coat of polyurathane. Why dont you build an arena then you can come on here critisising, for god sake james grow up ive had enough of it.

back on topic. Anybody knwo how the battlebox stands up to heavies?

[ewan]

Battlebox was just painted steel? It was just the logistics of a relatively non-mobile large event arena that meant they could do that though.

im gonna steal something someone else created and pass it off as my own

Oh shutup james

just like you jc

on a serious not, id have said the same if someone else had posted the same. wasnt being personal, was just laughing at the creative description

on topic, the battlebots floor takes a hammering apparently, but then all floors do i suppose. maybe uneven floors are part of the challenge and instead of building fllors that let our robots run, we should build robots that run on most floors?

James, we would appreciate it that if you have a problem with us if you e-mail either james or I. I dont understand why your doing this but i would rather you didnt, and sort whatever it out off the forum!

incase you forget, jamess email is james@robochallenge.co.uk and mine is coop_bmx@msn.com

im sorry nobody can take a joke grant,

people made fun of dominators plasma nitride coated titanium as a creative way of making something sound better than it is. (my understanding was it was painted steel, but maybe we should call in the mythbusters on that one)

if i have anything to say to you or james i will.

back on topic,
maybe mentorn wanted robots to struggle with their ground clearance? that is why they has the assault course. uneven floors mean super low front ends have a disadvantage to counteract the obvious advantages? Venom has exactly this problem, by having a super low ground clearance you get stuck sometimes.

I was refering to quite a few more of your comments over the last year james. i dont see the funny side of them? The polyurethane is in a thick paint form this comment is a very brief explanation of what it really is!

Thats one reason venom doesnt fight much - he doesnt have the weight to make the adjustable front end.
We have used the same coating as dominator - its a form of case hardening that razer also has.

[james...venom]

Sorry James im not seeing the funny side of your jokes, not even understanding what your above post ment? Constant critisism and going against everything we say isnt my idea of funny so i would appriciate it stopping.

[jamesb]

so you see the joke now?
good
(posted before the above... sighs)

if the weight goes up to 13.6kg you could have an adjustable from end just like razers? good news eh? wed see you at more events.

you could always show up on your own grant, i believe ploughbot has no floor issues?

on another floor related point, the old ploughbot may have had problems on the XFM arena as it is now. it has a very grippy surface, and high grip 4wd robots struggle a bit, as i found out at farnborough. the new ploughbot should be fine, but floor grip is an issue i think, as much as smoothness?
