the rules/scoring system was posted before the event

Interesting...seems to favour powerful pushers over all other types, but its nice to have a new type of event around.

Not really, if you get hit by a spinner you could richochet over the line thus your opponent scores a point, similarly with being flipped over the line. What it does ensure that there are potentially 3 minutes of close contact fighting and the only way it could end early is by some failure of your robot.

...that first video scared me, bloody brilliant spinner youve done there Dave

Still no spiral on the disc though?

[dgr]

A spiral would take it overweight. lol

Would just like to say thanks to craig and the rebel robots crew also a massive thanks to jamie and his team for freeing my hand lol managed to get away with only a few cuts and some nerve damage oh and thanks to saint johns ambulance for treating it

Firstly can I thank everyone for coming you made for a great show, Id like to thank Brian, Colin, Derek, Chris,Pete, Mary and Amanda for all their efforts on the day, I couldnt of done it without you all.
enough of the Grammy speech

It was brilliant to see the points system work, as always the rambots coped better, in RW flippers took 3 years to evolve into the dominant force and spinners took even longer I think were gonna see a much more rapid evolution in the system
The points system only favors pushers for now!

You all did so well, cheers to McHarg team, Gary, Tony, Simon and everyone else who got their hands dirty for the cause.
A big BIG thank you to our scape goat Kenny for being such a good sport, an after all you know it was your fault

Thank you everyone for making my day and our special guest for a rare appearance
