Classic car park fights

[mattsdragons]

Do many of these happen anymore?

An event along the lines of a few teams meet up and just have some fun if the right area was found to do it?

[mattsdragons]

Or something like a school playground with a few plug sockets?

[typhoon_driver]

In short no, too dangerous

[mattsdragons]

Not even for feathers, if you didn't allow spinners?

[RogueTwoRobots]

Even if it wasn't that dangerous, it's hardly worth it these days when there are so many live events on where you can go along and compete against many other robots in a proper fighting environment. Car park fights originated mainly as a result of not having an arena to fight in (either when RW wasn't being filmed, or after its demise) but that's not really much of an issue today.

It would be nice to see an event during the summer since there is nothing between June and september

The 1.3Kg class would be good for this type of meeting as you could have the arena carried in the back of a small van and put up in someone's garden. a few whiteboard fights and a BBQ going, It is a private event so come at your own risk. You could have several in the different areas around the UK so no one has to travel too far,

[mattsdragons]

it wouldnt be hard to make a feather arena out of some plywood and wooden walls, just got to keep far enough back to avoid the power flippers and keeps your wits about you.

its something that if people were willing to take the risk, it could be a nice little event

it would be more probable for beetleweights rather then featherweights.
but if you organize it, get the wood for the floor then i would be happy to atend

[mattsdragons]

I would rather do a feather even since I can then fight myself
