I go out for the evening and all hell breaks loose!!

Jonno has again made some interesting points in his posts; the one that caught my attention is about interesting fights and interesting robots. All EO€™s trust us to bring along robots that are safe, reliable and entertaining for the public to watch.

I also absolutely agree with the comment made by Craig

€œIf u build a rambot with 2 5mph wheelchair motors then its going to be dull, build a rambot with 8 wheels and 8 motors and its going to be as dull its down to the fight,€
The actual fight may be boring.
So what I would say, (if you possibly can) try to make your robot regardless of size as interesting as possible, for the public to watch fight? If it is a rambot put some lights on it, funny ears, fur, anything to make it interesting. We have to balance the competition side with the entertainment of the paying public.
Again all EO€™s trust us to bring along robots that are safe, reliable and entertaining for the public to watch.

Please don€™t take offence at remarks made on this forum, passion for this sport has always been strong, and inventors as a rule never take criticism well. Also if anyone has concerns about posting their points of view I do understand how hard it is, but be brave and help secure the future of the robot scene in this country.

Thanks for everyone€™s comments on this thread I for one appreciate all your input.
