A whiteboard goes up and you write your bots name on if you want to take place in the battle. Basically a friendly or filler type battle just for the hell of it

Re: WhiteBoard Battles?

Haha, sounds like a great idea! I think Id check to see what other bots are on it already first thought.............

They're also used by people to test robots out or just get a bit of driving practice in. If you're in a whiteboard with a spinner, but don't want to get smashed, just make sure to let the driver of that robot know and limits will be respected. Robo Challenge often have spinner and non-spinner whiteboards though so you can choose which ones to enter.

Yeh I wouldn't fancy going against a spinner for the first few battles...... It's only robochallenge that can take spinners though isn't it?

Re: WhiteBoard Battles?

yep, they'll respect the limits (just like in this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgqS-_ldmQ8)

I reckon you should stand next to people with spinners so they hear you.
