Hi guys,
im looking to do some white boards fights to practise driving and see how my heavyweight performs, but could some1 tell me is a whiteboard fight just having a bit of a mess about with no nasty weapons or?
White boards fights are usually friendly,
weapons are allways used but if damage occours
the opponent usually backs off, I wouldnt worry
its just good fun !
Its not usual to run weapons at full chat but when you sign up on the board just let everyone know to back off so that they definately know not to throw you OOTA or cream you against the wall especially with those nice spikes n things.
Being new they wont be able to recognise you straight away so let you and your robot be known to them.

White board... Competition.. Is there supposed to be a difference?
Motto.. If it moves.. Hit it!.. If it doesnt.. Hit it anyway, just in case it was thinking about moving! :wink:
The biggest difference between FCC and whiteboards is the absence of active spinners.
Also, people with destructive weapons ,like axes or crushers will limit the weaponpower or wont run the weapon at all.
If damage occures, the fight stops- again a gentlemens agreement, not a rule.
i dont mind being sent OOTA, its mainly driving practise against another machine and also to test traction on the arena surface, i just didnt want some1 to seriously damage my machine if i say clearly have no traction or mechanical failure(in the whiteboard fight),in a proper competition then i know anything goes,thanks guys
We tend to hold back abit during white board fights and arnt as agressive as we would be in fullcombat , mainly because having someone flipped oota under 30seconds is abit boring for the audience.
Turbulence will be going to Doncaster, Birmingham and Folksten if all goes well. Sighn urself up for a white board with us and we will have a friendly push about.
thanks dave, wow turbulence!! couldnt pick a better machine to have a friendly bout with.
LOL dave your famous :P
lol woooooo!
