cant get the weight down JB:sad: well james may be able to, but hes concentrating on others at the moment. captain Scarlet should be done intime, other wise its a pair of RoboChallenge Kits!

Also entering 3teams would cost over £100, not worth it.

We changed our minds on the last day at Fairford, so will be at the UK Champs, but just for the record I am not happy that we are only allowed to enter one robot in each weight class and other teams clearly are.

Id like to know if RR is just upgrading the existing arena or is a new arena in the making for the championships?

[grant_ploughbot]

>>> 23rd-27th August / The RR UK Championships 2

i have heard that its the old BTP arena with the RR arena inside? Dont quote me on it though as im not sure.

[ewan]

>>> 23rd-27th August / The RR UK Championships 2

Eeek, with the RR arena inside... that sound weird. I assume itll have the flip-out area were familar with though so perhaps thatd be the reason for it (RR arena in the middle with no polycarb)?

[grant_ploughbot]

>>> 23rd-27th August / The RR UK Championships 2

to have a class 2 arena you must have a 1.5m area between the arena and the polycarb, and the BTP arena didnt so i guess thats why. I dont want to been seen as making things up but this is what ive heard

the answer to your questions is:

The internal Roaming Robots arena will be as it is currently with the addition of some extra strength, including another layer of 5mm steel on the kickplate giving a total of 10mm, and some hidden strength in the internal structure. This will be the same configuration as what was going to be used for the Euro Champs last year if it had gone ahead.

The outer screening will be 10mm polycarb on a new very substantial outer / roof structure giving us 2m of exclusion zone all the way round the arena for safety.

This configuration will only be used for the UK Champs, and/or for any future full combat events we have planned in the future as it requires two trucks to transport it.

I hope this answers the questions.

It does for me, thank you Jonno.

Jonno, what grade of steel, what chemical mix of polycarb, your inside leg and your bank account details are some questions that spring to my mind.

Awaiting your most prompt reply as usual.

Mike.
