Middle Weight Competition?

[xtreme]

Hey, Do you think its possible to get some sort of MW competition going? I know that with there only been a few MW robots about we wouldnt be able to have competitions in the same format as they do with the FW champs and HW champs, But we should have somthing right?
I was thinking about something like a championship that can change hands throughout the year rather than it been decided at just 1 event a year. A little like the Robot Wars challenge Belt competition but without the 3 wins and you keep it part.
All we would need to ask is that we get a slot in the live shows. Just 1 slot in a live show every month or 2.
What do you think?
Cheers

I would be interested in entering!

Middle Weight Competition?

i think thats a great idea

i would like to one day move up from feather weights and make a heavy weight but i would like to make a middle weight before that.

yeah----if you win the fight you keep the trophy or belt and if you loose you give it to the other robot.

Yeah, Hopefully we will be able to sort somthing out early next year, Just gotta see what the event organisers think to it. Maybe try get the first championship fight at the Barnsley Bash at the Metrodome in feb.

trouble is numbers of middleweights
there are 3 running that i know of, Tanto Jnr, Maxus and Voodoo

cant do a championship with that few really, theres a few being built but Feb would be too soon to start a competition

well we were going to make one, but because theres not any competitions just for middleweights we decided not to. If there was a competition started, even if there were only a few in it it might encourage other people to get involved.
just my theory ;-)

Middle Weight Competition?

Yea, I hope more people get involved, Even when theres a few more middles, its going to be hard to decide on an event that most of us can make. Thats why i thought the championship that could change hands would be a good idea. That way u only need 2 MW bots to show up. I was just thinking if there only every couple of month for now there should be some new middles about by the time the current active middles have battled.

Or, depending on how many MWs there are, have a rumble with that many, then whoever wins, gets the cup/belt.
Plus, we cant make Barnsly, mainly for the fact our bots arnt finished yet!
Our MW has been planned for construction after the colchester event, with Hunter (And hopefully BrilliANT 2)

how heavy are middleweights?

[craig_anto]

Middle Weight Competition?

55kg top limit

I can fit a middleweight rumble in Rebel Robots, does make some sense, Tom me and Tony can all take our middles and have the first of a championship that Tom has come up with
i think the term is a ladder style, use a rumble to sort the order then you can start a ladder and any newcomers over the year just get added to the bottom of the ladder

similar to how boxing works you up for that Tom?

Sounds Perfect.

[teamhunt]

Middle Weight Competition?

Sounds like a good idea!
Maybe at the end of a year, the robot who wins the cup/belt the most gets another kind of award, one to keep for as long as the team like.
So, lets say that:
Toms MW wins 5 times
Craigs wins 4 times
Tonys wins 4 aswell
And mine wins 2 (Lets say!)
Then Tom would get the final award.
But, if 2 robots draw at the top, then 1 final fight could be added.
What do you think?

Middle Weight Competition?

Yeah could do, so it would basicly be the top ranked MW at the end of the year would get an seperate award.
We will have to decide what type of award we are going to have for the ladder style competition. Could be a verbal title, a certificate, a plaque, a trophy or whatever. What you guys think?

[craig_anto]

Middle Weight Competition?

that sounds fine, the achivement should be for the top ranked robot so the only robot that gets a title is the one who finishes at the top, but awards for most wins etc is a great idea gives everyone something to aim for

would you guys allow me to make the trohpy or belt, which ever people prefer? I wont make it a rebel robots trophy/belt itll be more of an FRA award that way any Event can hand out the award
