Cable risk in arenas

[grant_ploughbot]

Craig - Its upto the roboteers to bring these sort of things up and let the event organisers know of problems like these.
You say if not i will just persevere , the only thing you want to keep persvering with is that you want the cables moved or made easy to wheel your trolly over!
Being part of Robo Challenge and holding events, we find it very helpfull if roboteers let us know what they beleive could be improved safety wise, or just general things you would prefer.
It makes life better for everyone.

ye wires on the floor is a pain but me and my dad normally just carry robot from table into arena - kan opener do this aswel

this way we just have to watch our footing and make sure my dad dont go 2 fast like he does!

and im sorry dave weston but no one is worse than you for taking up your table then moving onto mine! , he even needs 2 tables when i went to watch the antweights!! i would hate to see him with a hw!

point noted craig


I see your point, even if they are taped down they can be a problem.

Roboteers just need to build off-road trollies

Cables in the pits are likely to always be an issue. We use so many electrical points charging and repairing that we have many cables to deal with.

Some cable runs across gang ways are unavoidable. But careful planning will ensure that event organisers keep this to a minimum.

Craig,

Heres an idea, Ive solved the problem

You have now been appointed chief pit power supplier at live events.

You will be armed with a box of extension leads, and you can choose the route, then if you break your trolley you can only blame yourself !

Well volunteered

[john]

we will be using a trolley from now on - i wont keep breakin my back now

thanks

[robotwars]

[john]
