When We Were Kings !

Ok things seem to be getting a little bit heated so lets all just take a chill pill and discuss this rationally

Why do you assume I would be compromising on safety?have I explained my ideas to you?-no!

If you can show me a way to provide the same level or better of safety that 5mm of polycarb in a grade 2 arena or 10mm in a grade 1 whilst providing the same visibility to the audience, judges, eos and roboteers then I am all ears. Polycarb is a good material as it is lightweight, flexes under shocks and is good with both piercing and blunt blows at high speed and is transparent.

One thing that I seen in the US that was interesting was that the EOs would sell their old arena polycarb off to the roboteers for around 60% of the price of the new sheet. So they only have to pay another 40% for a new sheet for the sidewall and the roboteers get a cheap material for armour

How do you propose we build and arena without polycarb?

Did I say polycarb would not be used?,sorry but please check your facts,but as you are an event organiser I shall send you a private message regarding my concept-no offence meant to any Roboteer

and your post did come across as saying you can build an arena safly without the use of any poly carb???......

If you want to send me a PM feel free. I am genuinely interested to hear your ideas. As was mentioned I am however not an EO. I sadly don't have the time or cash to devote to such a task
