Hi,
Do beetles need
1: a battery fuse thingy as described in the rules
2: a power LED that you need for fw bots

[mrsam]

Removable link definitely, not sure about the fuse

You don't need a fuse. LED are preferred but not mandatory atm.

And if fitted with a weapon make your design in such a way you can get a locking bar in.

Ok thanks guys
@harry so is it fine if I don't fit an LED for now
@niels thanks for the advice, but I'm not sure about adding a weapon atm.

Its always worth putting some LEDs on anyway as they both look great and incase the rules ever change in the future. Its easy to do and a piece of mind for me.

[Niels - Team K.a.L.M.]

During the last beetleweight fights (aws 44) Dave deemed the LEDs not necessary but this can change instantly depending on the organizer of the next event.

If I recall correctly only two machines (out of 13) had an LED at that time

[Mega Masher]

So what does the led need to do

[harry hills]

Same as normal. Be on when the robot is and off when the robot is off. But not needed. Failsafes, locking bars, sharp edge protection and removable links are.

Ok thanks
