Proposed 100kg weight rule - East Mids and Yorks area discus

[anukhet]

That means - finally - that my new theoretical antweight AntiGravity will now qualify for the antweight class. :wink:

Only if you can get the infinate improbability drive to weigh no more than 100g (and that has to include the really hot cup of tea!!)

Actually its mass is about 10 times that of the sun mass of the sun (sun = 1.98892 — 10^30 kg) but, instead of being matter, it is antimatter so biscuits dunked in there get flung back out at about 4 times the speed of light and are never seen again.
Anyway - I digress

so your building a flipper!

Geoff, now that we have a sensible solution to the 100kg weight limit issue and it is about to be written into the rules would it be an idea to add the Raptors (max 6kg I believe) into the scheme as well?
The Americans, Dutch and Robochallenge (forgive me guys if Ive got the name wrong!) appear to run them already so they will probably, eventually end up at R.R., R.L. etc. as well.
Ive put this on the forum instead of directly to the F.R.A. for imput from the roboteers.

That should be input, not imput! Doh!

One issue with Raptors, they are not the same as the US 6 kilo robots. The Raptor class has more restrictions. If you put in a 6kg class call it hobbyweight like the Americans do, not Raptor.

Raptor weight is a GRA standard and if you want to run Raptors at an event I feel you should enforce the GRA raptor rules, just like DRG does. A raptor is not just a 6kg featherweight.

Ah! could be a bit tricky then, means that all sides have to agree a standard set of rules for it. Sound familiar?

Thats why we decided to run as featherweight FRA rules at the European champs, Although we called it the raptor class (sorry for the confusion) as it meant every one could join in, and it seemed like most were running to that sort of spec anyway.
