Marayong XVII season III

Marayong XVII season III

More roman numerals, in red this time. The event is scheduled for Saturday, April 22. As long as our bots are not completely destroyed a Robowars, this event should be a cracker! I hope to have two bots there for the first time and El Bravo will probably be flipping everyone in sight.

Can you not just buy another reciever? It means you would have to forfiet one bot if you had both bots in a match together but you could still come first & second for less money.

both have individual recievers to them, thats why i had to do the forfeiting last event cause jeffs dx-6 wouldnt bind into it Confused might see what a tx for its worth anyway.

i can fight my own robots then, at least thatll make for a half decent figh..... *gets stabbed by the rest of the nsw people* Laughing

I think we're getting carried away with this idea of competing with two robots in the same class... it's not exactly fair for people with one robot, it's like a second chance to win! Confused
May i suggest we try to develop the beetleweight class and the MDF funbotics class? I've got an MDF bot planned too. Smile

It's not too bad; a builder can only drive one bot at the event and cannot change bots during the event, so he has to find a driver or just go in grudge matches (and why haven't we have one of those for so long??? Confused ).

If your bot was not ready for an event, or you wanted to introduce a friend to the sport, you could very likely tee up a driving position with Kang or Sub and still have some fun.

yeah some extra bots for people to drive would always be good.
I have some friends who'd like to have a go, so I'm planning on getting another bot or two working asap Smile

I don't think we voted, but it pretty much had to be stealth.
