woooo steady on.

Im not having a go, and theres no need to start being sarcarstic.

I was merely saying, and ive just reread my post that....

Ok so you went to an event and had to carry it side ways and it scratched your car, it was annoying, and you dont like flippers as they make you yawn, and theres too many, and you dont like the idea of being thrown out of the arena after 20 seconds........ ok, your opinion.... im interested in all of that...but all im saying is..... most events have big doors, and ok we've all scratched our cars becuase of our robots, but carpet rubber and some planning, and they dont have to, and we now have cages to stop 20 second fights... we've moved on from maybe the last time you went to a HW event. Thats all.

From an Eo point of view, ok so people will build a middle weight, they will use wheel chair motors, maybe not even put a weapon on it. It will trundle around the arena. Now as an EO putting on a show would i want this, and do i see this as the future. answer is no. What would your answer be? IM just trying to understand peoples views.
This is about the future and where people see it. We wont all agree.

Im not shooting people down, im not having a go at anyone, all im doing is putting my point accross, the same as you have done.

This is what this forum needs some good debates, people to actually have a say in what they think, or how do i, or robots live or any EO know where to go with our hobby !!

Too many people are sititng probably reading this, but wont get involved....thats their choice, but then these same people may have something to say if they dont like when things are changed.

I fail to see why people dont get involved and take an interest.

I as an EO, was offered a job, a golden opportunity just a few weeks ago, and it would have meant giving robots up. For my sins, and in the current climate i will maybe live to regret it however here i am still posting on here at 11pm at night, and not preparing for a new chapter in my life starting in September. I turned it down.
It was a live changing decision of which is the hardest ive ever made, and up until 5 minutes before the phonecall I was still debating with my heart and head as to what to do.

The reason I am so active in this thread is because this is do or die time for RR, Ive said before, and I'll say it again, in the current climate so many buisiness's are failing, and some of my friends in the entertainment world have gone already. I am lucky I have a network of support that I am still alive, but only just.

So yes things are going to have to change, and believe me there will be changes coming, but what im trying to do is find out what people think, where people see things going, and how we can work together to keep what we love alive !!
