im all for promoting dragsters (they look fun and cool! ) but making it a rule that we HAVE to make a dragster is a bit much...plus my dad wont let me play with angle grinders

for example:

ok, im 12 years old,iv been watching robot wars since i was a toddler! i have recently made a few robots using most of my saved up funds, and am waiting eagerly to enter a event close to me...i read that there is a spinner tournament, just like robot wars...GREAT! then i read there is a £4000 prize fund...GREAT! then i read we have to make something that i have only briefly heard of and have no understanding of whatsoever apart from they run down a wooden track and are made out of tools

i dont yet have the knowledge/time/money/facility's to build these things...you can understand i am a bit disappointed because this means i cant go i guess there will be other events but i was really looking forward to this
