On the driving more than one bot per weight class I think that a number of builders would think that it would give the bigger established teams with lots of chargers, bots, radios and controllers an unfair advantage.
One exception I would like to suggest is cluster bots.
I think that as long as the number one or designated driver only drives the cluster anyone else can fill in as the second driver including someone driving another bot in that class.
Not a problem for Andrew of corse, he can control the second segment with his toes.
It’s just that I would like to see some clusters and they just aren’t viable under the current arrangements

Hey Brett - is a date for the annual Robowars firming up yet? If its in early to mid December, its about time us interstaters think about booking cheap airfares. _________________ Australian 2015 Featherweight champion

I havent pinned down a definite date yet.
I was thinking around Jan 14-15 this time to try and avoid clashing with the pre-christmas rush.. How does that sound to those who are thinking of making the trip ? _________________ Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people

That works for me but it might clash with people having family holidays. The further away the event is, the better for my rebuid of Jolt ! _________________ Australian 2015 Featherweight champion

That would be great for me, it`s at the end of my holidays and I might even have some money again by then
I just hope it doesn`t conflict with the regulars.
Nay`s and Yay`s speak up!

AROUND that time, as in before or after
So is the 14th/15th OK for you then ? I like the look of that date. End of Jan is getting too late I think, Australia day holidays and stuff.. Early Jan is too close to NYE. Can you fly from Darwin to Melbourne if you ship the bot down earlier ? _________________ Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people

You can send your bot etc to me if you like Glen, where I work would be best as we get deliveries there every day.
