ive been asked this before actually.
In the interests of keeping it simple to follow, and keeping me sane (ish) id have to say no. sorry.
but why not enter the lightweights anyway? or enter an old retired bot in one, and mr happy in the other?
Because i only have two robots and Turbulence is to big to go in the lightweight devision
Nevermind
I can confirm there will be a minimum prize fund of £250 for this event.
We havent decided how to allocate it yet though.
options?
5 weight classes, 5 prize funds of at least £50 each?
all cash for heavy? prizes for rest?
just heavy and feather (dont like that one)
what would you guys like (please dont say £250 per weight class, im working on that, but for now its the total in the pot)
or, what about prizes and trophies for each class winner, with the £250 going to the overall most entertaining/sporting robot/team of the event? sort of an outstanding contribution award? maybe split this over the 2 days?
just ideas, you guys tell me what you would like.
Hmm, Id personally opt to go with the £50 for each weight class, that way everyone is competing for an equal prize regardless of what weight class theyre entered in and there cant be any accusations of lack of support for the less populated weight groups.
James, a suggestion. Divide the money by the number of robots and split it into the 5 weights dependant on number of robots.
great idea Ed
Ill prob leave this decision to the last minute, as the fund will vary up to the last day.
the overall most entertaining/sporting robot/team of the event?
No. I thought it was a competition?
it is, but why do the same format every time?
the winners still get prizes, and trophies, I just thought it might be nice to have seperate awards for those who may not win, but contribute most?Or the most sporting? etc.
but anyway, if that is what people want Ill give the whole prize fund to winners only
James,
Its your event, If you want to award prizes to those who you think contribute to the events sucess then do so. Remember MOST of us dont do this for any prize money, but for FUN of taking part in our hobby... Win or loose!
maybe i should offer more prizes instead then? maybe spend the prize fund on robot bits as prizes?
maybe a sidewinder as heavy prize, scorpion XL as feather etc.... or vouchers for my store or technobots?
what do you think?
