Just thought, will you weigh the robots every meeting, or just the first time they are entered into the HW Championship?

[psycho_fling]

from a none heavy weight team i would say it would be best to do it every event as obvious things may creep in...

sounds cool idea some great battles!!!!!

Good Question Craig.

There has been some lengthly discussions about this.


Currently the plan is to carry on as normal, and treat the qualifying rounds as normal events. There is a standard where we dont weigh robots, however in reality i dont think there is anyone who takes the mick with this !!

So we plan on only weighing robots at the final event where things start to get more serious.
However there is a proviso where if I feel that someone is extremely over weight.. and not playing fair ( im talking more than a couple of kilos,) then i will weigh the robot and penalise them for it.

Next year, hopefully with a succesful trial championship under our belt... people should be prepared to have their robot weighed at EVERY event in 2010.

I think the way forward is weighing at every event, but im giving people a year to prepare.
In reality every robot should be on the nose, but we all add bits here and there, try new bits etc... By the end of 2009 every robot should be under the limit, so no excuses for 2010.

OK, so our Heavyweight is competeing at Barnsley, does this mean its competing for points in the league too. Cos itd be difficult for all our team to make all of those events, but if were competing for points, Im sure wed try our best to turn up for as many fights as possible.

[liambryant]

I might be able to make Wigan, but we have ages yet. Do u have to win more than one battle or does it take winning one fight to qualify for the finals?

Strictly speaking this is not a championship it is a league. The more games you play the more points you get, win or loose. The final winner, therefor, may not be one of the best robots but one that has competed most.
If Puck attended and competed at all events, getting one point minimum each time, it might have more points at the end than say Terrorhurtz!
