[blazerbotics]

well ive got a knackerd motor, batteries are about dead and im using a steering wheel TX for the first time on Alpha, so its gonna be a interesting event!

What happened to the motor and batteries, and why a steering wheel TX?

[blazerbotics]

Batteries are just old and dont get used often and armature is spinning on the shaft! As fot the TX i just thought why not!

Actually bring on the weekend! Nearly finished playing with boner this afternoon. Should be ready to run with dual speed 900s and a 5s lipo with another hour or two of work.

Still gotta build a modified racer, stock one is ready to go. The ride on still needs more work but it will hopefully get there. Teething issues now more than anything else.

Hi guys not long to go now!

Just to let you all know, we are aware of a few robots that have pulled out. Robots who only have 1 opponent or if the are on their own will not automatically get a by. Where possible we will redraw incomplete heats to get you back up to the full number of opponents to make it fair for everyone.

Eg.

If there is 3 battles with 2 bots in each these will be split into 2 3 way battles. If there are 2 battle with 2 bots in each they will stay the same. Any one on their own will defiantly get opposition

Surely thats the luck of the draw? If there is a spare robot why can it not just replace one of those that has pulled out?
If in a later round only 1 robot is still running I assume that if it enters the arena it will get 4 points and not just 3? as it would be unfair on that bot and not its fault that it cannot win by knockout.
