@Nexus Lifters,crushers,Flippers that arent spinner fodder.theres a couple of things that would benifit from bracket.
Are all the IBC currently used in featheres suitable or 26kg lightweights? not according to some,with bigger drives more volts more weight cost will rise considerably.
@Daniel sorry forgot you werent in the conversation.But just think how more compeditive your flipper would be with 6 kg extra armour to. all the flippers ive seen cop a smashing from spinners ,even stealth has to rebuilt after evry battle
@Aaron ,I dont want to see spinners and wedges out of the bracket thats not what its about ,but by increasing the weight and limitations on kenetic weapons other weapons will be seen.
@Nick what i said originally was restrict Kenetic spinning weapons to 13.6- 14.0kg and anything else to 18-20 kg .
After seeing Battleshed i reckon all the spinners that competed in that event would stand up and be counted against any 18-20 kg robot so to say they would not be compeditive is not at all the case.
Ive thought about it fair bit and i see 100 times more positives than negatives.I can tell everyones getting bored with the feathers ,which is understandable, but to go straight to 26kg is not viable as far as costs,facilities and arenas are concerned,we need to think logically folks.
so i post this question .........do we wait till someone builds an arena in every state that can take a 26kg jolt or badger?and risk losing builders through lack of interest??
or do we build up slowly over for how ever long it takes and in doing so keep the interest level high while using 90% of the running gear currently used in all our featherweights??
i really cant see a problem,it doesnt need to be complicated 2 very simple variations on the current rules.
A. increase weight limit to say 19.6kg for all robots other than spinners.
B. restrict high energy [kenetic] spinners to 13.6kg.
They all compete as Superfeatherweights not 2 seperate brackets
Put it this way.........if for some bizzare reason everyone cant deal with it after a period of time , at least it will put us onto the track to go 26kg lightweight . _________________ Photos - http://community.webshots.com/album/154092733uokpXC
