James and Grant,,,,,

Im assuming you have no provision for IC engines in your arena ?

Regards

John

At the moment our Arena is too well sealed to vent the exhaust gasses fast enough to keep things safe inside so for now (unless the event was outdoors we may be able to make previsions) we will not be allowing IC engines at this event sorry. Just get a big motor n stick it in

The Competition format and local accomodation will be posted very shortly.
In order to fit many whiteboard fights in, the shows will need to run VERY smoothly, so I ask if you can all make sure your robots are ready for fights atleast 2 battles prior to entering the arena to ensure that shows dont over-run.

Most of the whiteboard fights will be held on the sunday as there are ALOT of fights to get through on the first day just to get through the first rounds.

Wow got in there last minute I see.
Will start working on fixing Trojan to make it a bit more resilient to spinners and make it glow like a Christmas Tree. I have noticed that most feathers win by being a flipper or very very bright
