With Arfa as a judge, I cant see a new Mortis being at Manchester!

Perhaps I should be in this thread,

the new modular Mortis/Maelstrom test setup that has been seen at 2 or 3 events in the last 18 months or so will definately not be in any competition this year, now next year, well, watch this space. It is highly likely that it will run in both formats at different times in the UK, as the news is; we are building a totally new HW concept for Battlebots, and no, I aint telling. You never know, you might even see Mortis/Maelstrom in both guises on 2 consecutive days at a 2 day event, as we anticipate the changeover from Mortis to Maelstrom to take 2 - 3 hours.

The test rig is being developed by my son, Matthew, into an exhibit for active, automatic display at a couple of events this year. It will have the 2 speed electric axe, lifter and 2 speed tracks all working at the same time, inside a cage as an engineering teaching aid.

Cool - thank you Arfur, look forward to seeing it!

Thanks for the extra information, Mark. I think SOW ICE had passed me by - better get back to their web site and have a look. (Wonder if going ICE would solve their problems with Y-Pout/Y-Not killing their batteries? Hmm.)
