Reads well to me, just a couple of things though:

Children under the age of 16 must be supervised and under the control of a parent or guardian at all times anyone up for supervising me?

On a slightly more serious note...

Please could you indicate how you deem a robot to be immobilized in various different situations (in pit - but gets out? or maybe one side of drive knocked out?) this seems to be missing from the rules of engagement thingie.

Ill probably get round to doing the interview when Ive got a little more time handy.

Cheers Guys

I think we all need supervising in the pits...

In my mind, a robot is immobile when it is incapable of moving towards the other robot (e.g. attacking). I think traditionally, 30 seconds is the recognised time for being immobile. I dont believe we have had a competition fight where someone has escaped the pit...

Just got to make a cradle now... :wink:

Guys,

If a robot is still moving, then it is deemed to be mobile. Even if one side isnt working, it is still mobile.

A robot who has been pitted, has 30 seconds to get out, if it does within the time, then the fight continues. If not, then they are deemed immobile.

Hope this clarifies it.

The part of the rules that says if a robot is not fighting then it must be removed from the pits. Maybe not having a vehicle for the week, slightly worried about security, ok no one is going to walk off with a heavy but Txs, feathers etc could be go walkies. How secure it the sight and camp area going to be?

Wicksteed park will be putting extra security on site, to cover both the arena / pits, and campsite.

We will have our truck available if anyone is struggling.

Wed rather things were locked away rather than sat in a marquee thats all.
