well jeff took the time to put a silicon lining around the bottom of the wall and aside from that i dont think theres much that can be done within reason.

tip 1 - dont make your wedges so low...

well ive watched hudreds of RW VIDEOS and bots get caught on that arena as well all the time ,its just part of the deal ....whats good for 1 aint good for another if we put steel around somone will complain it dammages their bots .if we put the wall higher that wont suit another bot ,consider it and arena hazard ...SORRY has been defeated by the arena on a couple of occasions, the sollution i use is ..drive better ,i thought these ibcs are supposed to stop eratic driving
im happy with the arena as it is , stood up to all soughts of abuse and it only cost $250

Ive gotten the ball rolling on the polycarb issue at work by impressing the maintenance manager with some action and arena pics. He said it shouldn`t be a problem getting it but has to find out what supervisor actually "owns" the stuff. (darn complications!) If I can find out I can go suck up to them as well

It may take a bit of nagging, taking a bit longer than I hoped for but fingers crossed

Also, just a repeat post; looks like SUNDAY? is a builders day this weekend

yeah im there and so is MARK YAY :O his not fallen off the face of the planet

We can put the black, plastic curtain back up or that, and close the garage door without too much trouble. (Steam bath!)

Jeff, you HAVE to keep that drop-off zone. It's the only way for non-offencive bots to have a chance at winning!
