Hi Mike L That robot has the definate one hit wonder reputation, but it is fun to see how it will self-destruct each time!!! and as for safety... wendy and I have seen it on both sides of the pond. I belive both sides have their short comings and get lolled into a false sense of security!!!

as to the other bot attacking and not letting the other bots batteries just die well as a roboteer If given the chance to sit and watch batteries die or test my bot against this or any one else...I think I would want to try, cause if your affraid to go against another bot...
youve already lost!!!

Just my 2 pesos!!!

as to greenwave if you noticed when the selinoid shorted, one he dosent have enough battery to feed that motor for full HP and the v belt set up dont have the torque to shear the saftey pin from a dead stop...it has been tested!
also they turn on the reciever first, then the weapon system, then the last is the drive system. Then the safty pin is pulled. Tho personally I feel reaching across an active bot putting his leg in the path of the blade is a little stupid!!! But then again I believe that the bot builder/driver should be the only person who touches the bot before or after a fight! My veiw is I know the bot better than any wrangler does and I know the safe way to handle it in most if not all situation, plus I would feel really bad if someone unfamilliar with my bot hurt themselves trying to shutoff or move my bot!
