(Watch past first fight)

As far as I know in QLD this would only affect ringo and judge.

What do you guys think.

Featherweights?

I would be very interested in non-spinner events. That would allow for drivers skill. Lets face it. even brilliant drivers suffer from gyroscopic forces. It would also be a cheaper build without the need for 5 mm Bisalloy.

We would still be able to have other events with spinners.

Yeh.

I was sort of thinking raised platform without panels as a tour style public events. But I have no idea how that would work.

I would be aiming for 2 spinner events in between. Nationals + something else. Would make things running every month much easier.

I wonder what rules they run for limitations as there was still spinning things. Just nothing too outrageous. Would pretty much be ramming/lifting/clamping bots I reckon which are still pretty fun to watch.

That carpet made our floors look good.

liking it, being able to use parts from work and make a weird creation without fear of imminent spinner death would be lovely

Started putting a few things together this morning. Testing will occur once everyone is up.

I can get something running even if it is not my ideal robot. Better parts can be swapped in as money permits.

The idea is a scaled up Low Rider, that is, a clamper lifter.

You said March in another thread which sounds like a good idea to me.

I hope to get the basis shape of my armour in place next weekend and then start on the specifics of the weapon.
