Less dangerous? I think Pillow Torque has been the only non-flippered featherweight to put another robot OOTA

I didnt know that!

But anyway push bots are always open to modification for a weapon.

And if you dont have a weapon-more armour!

I so disagree with you in so many ways Dan.

I would never advise on a weaponless robot.

I agree with Leo, weapon-less feathers are a good starting point, but as far as driving and watching goes, they€™re not all that fun. (Sorry to anyone with a push bot, I do accept that they can be a weapon in their own right)!

i think BonX is quite fun to drive and watch :P

I have never driven Bonx, but I have watched, don€™t get me wrong, its better than watching paint dry but boxes crashing into each other doesn€™t give me a buzz like when a robot is flipped out for example!

what gives me a buzz is when a pusher stuffs a flipper or spinner in the pit, as i think pushers against these are always looked upon as the underdog, but also remember some, not all, dont have the £££ or fabrication skills to build a spinner or flipper, and we need any robots around to help make up the numbers

Sorry Adrian but im going to have to disagree with nearly everything you said there.

Pushers are not looked on as the underdogs by a long shot. You can fit incredible amounts of armour and push into a rammer which a spinner or flipper can only dream of. You dont need fancy fab skills or a lot of cash to build a spinner or flipper. Far from it. You could build one for next to nothing.

I would rather see a competition with 6 flippers, spinners and axes compared to one with 50 boxes.
