i got to ask a bout fail safes do the active weapons like spinners cutters have to stop instantly to pass? or are they allowed spin down time? _________________ For West ausies interested in robotics email me at: theoneshrug@hotmail.com

No there is an allowable spin down time of 30 seconds (I Think but dont quote me until you have read the rules ) The fail safes are to stop wheapons and drives from acidently activateing by them selves if the bot is powered .
Their other main purpose is to turn the power off to wheapons and drives.if a remote controled veichle loses radio contact , wheather it be from going out radio range
Geting the reciever aerial choped off.
The Transmiter loseing battery power and so on .
For us it is mainly for safety purposes. In other radio controled equipment
it is so the operator doesnt lose control of the veichle .If a plane went out of radio range it would keep going til it crashed and possibly hurt some one .
And the same with a remote car ..in these csaes the fail safe is usualy set to de throttle the I/Cmotor in a plane and some turn the rudder ect .In cars the fail safes usualy just shut it down so you can catch up to it .
