This is driving me nuts, even though no one is making one I just want to work out which ruleset we would follow. Currently, we use american rules for featherweights, lightweights and beetleweights. So I would assume we use the american rules for "fairyweights" at 150g and no size restrictions, unlike the UK ruleset. I guess if I got an arena built and started my own comp I could decide what rules I followed anyway eh?

I'm going to say we try the UK rules, they're a bit harder. More of a challange.

The RFL fairyweights do have to comply with a 100x100x100 size limit. I saw them messing around with a clear acrylic box during tech inspections at Robogames.

Oh? Hmm, i've been misinformed, again lol.
Cheers for that, i've been trying to contact one. Anyone know if there's a ruleset up for the american ones?
EDIT: I found a link to the RFL ruleset but it was dead, I did find this however.
"Q: What's the maximum size for antweights? One competition site it said it was 4" by 4". Do fairyweights have a maximum size?

A: Neither SozBots nor RFL rules specify a maximum size for U.S. antweights or fairyweights. It's the British '150 gram' antweights that must fit in a 4" cube."

Thanks for Clearing that up.
I did think they didn't use it, but got a bit confused.
It's mainly the fact there's one with a 5 inch blade that proved it.
Me and dylon have decided to go without the box, it's more of an inconvenience than anything else.
If Aaron want's to whinge... meh

OK. I can admit I am wrong. Glad I wasn't seeing things with that box though.

Probably up to Ver. 2 by then I have the frame built, motors ready, Magnetic traction WAY over powered and many other bits purchased. I recently decided to change the urethane on the wheels for something a little harder - the magnetic hold down is so effective, I think it would crush the urethane I was planning to use. If the Singapore guys don't show up, I feel that if the bot makes it to RG08, I will be coming back with a medal of some sort in the Sumo
