I had an email from Ed indicating that StormII complies with the Battlebots Rules.

I hope this link works. The switch in the picture is probably the type of thing they use.
To modify a robot in the UK with this switch (with 2 keys) instead of a removable link would not be too hard for most robots.

That is the type we used on KHz - as used on many race/rally cars. You would probably still need a hatch to protect it.

I think the more common type on US bots is this one:

Our Australian freinds also use that, apparently they dont like links :P (or other people disarming their robots (Ie arena marshals))
