maybe true leo on second thoughts maybe it was a bit far fetched.

we shouldnt loose the fighting element... its what makes the events have a wow factor.


David, why dont you have a play and see what you can come up with.

someone made a good point earlier, the obstacles etc are good for roboteers, but is the general feeling with viewers is that they would rather want to see carnage? i dont know. as a roboteer and a viewer i would enjoy both lol...

i know when we did ukrg, the obsticle course was good when you were taking part, but could be very very boring at times to watch!!!

for rebel robots sake i hope ur wrong Jonno

i think its about presentation, the TV idea for Rebel Robots is not like it has been on tv before, its something new

We all jus want to fight so lets just fight leave the TV stuff to the TV people

Prehaps what lacked in the RW trials was the threat of a fight starting.

The most succesful trials in my eyes were the ones where as many machines as possible were taking part.

Then you could have either won by completing the trial or making sure no one else did.

there you go Mr Danby, your doing something new Not the old so it seams.

I dont think you can just leave the TV people to do what Tv people do, surely it has to be a two way street to provide the best entertainment, maybe im wrong.

Your providing a TV program, and Im providing a Live show. As we all know, when people went to see the filming of robot wars it was Very different to the finished article.

I would be interested to know how rebel robots is going to work..is it a live event being filmed, or is it a tv studio with a tight filming shedule?

Take the fight outside on some grass and have the drivers/audiance in the plastic box for a change. No floor damage and no flip outs.

I will say im not selling a Robot Wars rehash its an all new format, its what i wanted to see out of robot wars with some great ideas from previous shows slipped in to beef up the profile, also gives the audience something they recognise.
Im also bringing in some elements of the best live robot events ive been too, all of them have been yours jonno

Okay, so this is the base of what I have so far...

Im going to add a standard flipper, pit, and possibly try to modify the arena hammer thats there at the moment. Other ideas welcome too.

This is a concept style render, so I have a 2d style shading on it. (And yes, more than six hours and this is all I came up with for now, 3ds max has shutdown 4 times for no reason LOL)

Floor pieces are 5 cm thick, each barrier support is 10 cm thick. This is to scale.

I think you may have the potential 2009 RR arena on the way

Looks cool.

It will need the 5mm x 250 high kick plate on it to reach the safety standards for the FRA
And need to be 400 mm off the ground to fit the pit into it.
