We have found in the past that picking the right
type of body armour is only part of it , you realise that no matter how good you drive your probably gonna get a slap,at some stage anyway,
if you go into the arena thinking your going to loose, you probably will, picking your preffered attack point is useful, but the worst case for us is confronting the spinner head on, it can happen,
you have to plan for remember that,self defence is no offence, aggression is the prefered way for us against spinners, anyway if you can , pick a prefered impact point and only fire the scoop when you are 100% sure,and keep em on the back foot,& fingers crossed,

Tosser means something slightly different in the Uk Matt....
a tosser fight might be unpleasant.

Is that the general definition of tosser or the biblical one?

The machine im in talks over is S3. but the £££ wanted is alot for a machine that can only be used for static displays.

At the moment static display or running it without weapon is your only option. There is no arena at the moment in the UK that will run S3 safely.

We have an arena that holds spinners. It will be upgraded to the latest FRA rules and used for an event in June. I cant remember S3 so I dont know if there are any special concerns with it.

The only Robot Wars competitor to put pieces of the opposition in the roof! Winner of most original entry in the fifth wars and twice series semi-finalist, this is an awesome piece of destructive machinery. Armed with a 510mm diameter steel disc spinning at 1000RPM and powered by two 750W Bosch motors, this is not a toy, but a fully functioning, purpose built agent of destruction as seen on TV!

No Problem Woody. The roof of the DRG arena will be up to the task.

Adrian,

I have been contacted by Dave from S3 (as their local to us). He asked if i knew who was interested in the purchase of S3, as he had been contacted by some one but can not get back in contact with them.

I take it this is your self, and have passes on your email address to him.

Cheers,
Dave.
