Four sides = 8 sheets, plus 4 to cover the roof = 12 sheets.

Hope Kenny and/or Tom sees this

Yep, twelve sheets needed, that's why I got twelve sheets of it

I suspect that the fact that some of it's scratched to such a bad degree means it doesn't meet Kenny's standards (at least it didn't when I spoke to him over a year ago ).

You going to the barnsley event andy? its bout 30mins from mine and would come and pick them up[/quote:38lycx07]

Lemme have a chat with John Bell see if he can put it in his van or trailer etc or anyone else with a van able to transport them from North London. Suspension on my Zafira wouldn't cope with it

I have made one its blade isn't controlled but the blades just for fun and it can't cause any damage

Re: UK Kilobots - 1.362kg (3 lbs) Combat Robots

no matter how little damage the blade does it needs to be controled and most importantly failsafe!
does this robot have a link and powerlight?

Re: UK Kilobots - 1.362kg (3 lbs) Combat Robots

I thought links were only for FW and up?

[harry hills]

Re: UK Kilobots - 1.362kg (3 lbs) Combat Robots

no, beetles need them.

Re: UK Kilobots - 1.362kg (3 lbs) Combat Robots

Unless i'm being wretchedly dense, I am not seeing the part that says the removable link part applies to Bw's in the build rules.

You don't need a link and a power light.

Hi, As some people already know we have decided to start up a 1kg weight class. This will be open to robots from 0g-1000g. The FRA does not currently have any rules for robots of this weight class so we are going to follow the featherweight and above rules, This means all robots will need a removeable link, a power light, sharp edge protection, a cradle, a locking device on all weapons and robots must failsafe. Robots will need to be tech checked before the are allowed to battle. Robots with spinning weapons will be tech checked on the bench as usual but the spinning weapon will be tested in a secure arena.

That was before beetle weights were written into the build rules.

Re: UK Kilobots - 1.362kg (3 lbs) Combat Robots

Re: UK Kilobots - 1.362kg (3 lbs) Combat Robots

The requirement of a link on a 3lb robot seems pretty stupid to me.

Re: UK Kilobots - 1.362kg (3 lbs) Combat Robots
