What ever happened to the Annihilator part of the Annihilator
Not enough interstate interest is what happened! We decided to try out the tornado tag in place of the original anihilator format to cut down on interstate double-teaming but obviously that's not an issue this time. _________________ Australian 2015 Featherweight champion

So what are we decided on? _________________ ( •_•)
hmm with 12 bots a round robin is 60 fights
thats about 2 days just there ;->
so we either do "double elimination", "limited round robin", or we go for 2 days.
if we go 30 minutes between "rounds" with 30 minutes of fighting then we should get 36 fights in, in a day without too much trouble. (so you should always have an hour of charging time if you have 2 batteries (looks at glen ;-P)) _________________ Mechanical engineers build weapons, civil engineers build targets

If you are plaining on having 66 fights can someone please write down the fights as they happen, simalar to the live update we did on the weekend. It doesn't have to be on the forum, just a bit of paper will be fine. I just have a really bad feeling that this compitition is going to cause me weeks of problems with the rankings unless someone writes things down as they happen for a change.

Twelve bots sounds optimistic; it's looking more like eight IMHO. Chris and Dumhead can't make it and some of the others are unconfirmed. _________________ Australian 2015 Featherweight champion

Like Angus I can only do it this weekend. Im in Japan the following weekend. So im all set for this weekend.
I know people are a little rushed. So am I. But there's been plenty of time between the last event.

I am currently wokring on my final Uni production film and I have massive amounts of work to do, so I dont have time to even get a robot ready, let alone attend the event
