Tap outs are those with more sense than money, or those without 20mm of hardox

There speaks a man with unlimited resorces & time!!!


I wish!! :wink:

I just believe that when you put your robot in the arena, then you take whatever is comming your way.

Or put another way..
Do unto others before they do unto you

i could gaffertape red rotating police beacons to each roboteers head, with a Im a giant wuss button on their foreheads? Maybe some sort of chickensong to???

lol, no, not really. I think a universal emergency stop button for tap out and safety stop would be best, so we dont have unheard little, quiet voices shouting important things like...

dont hit me (then they hit you)
leave it alone (then the flip you)
its on fire... stop (then it flamethrowers you)
and
STOP THE FIGHT!!! THERE IS A SMALL CHILD INSIDE THAT ROBOT (or other similar safety concerns.)

good compromise?

I have decided to call my tap out button the chicken button. And, (as long as Avian Flu does not get to north wales, in which case I will need to get rid of it) it will be a feature of the show, highlighting anyone hitting it.

By the way, the arena build is coming along really well now, and it looks monsterous!! I may be accused of over-engineering it a bit. Official pics will be released when the woodlands EO says so, but until then, take my word for it, you will be surprised when you see it.

I will be sending out the first batch of e-mails to teams interested in attending in the next week or so. If you want to recieve these e-mails, but have not expressed an interest in coming, please do so now.

It is still committed as a grade 3 event (see new FRA guidelines for advice on things such as axe tethers), but I am pushing very hard to have spinners running in the Raptor and Featherweights class. As the heaviest lightweight currently signed up is 13.6kg, I may also allow spinners in this class, but submit your design to me first as it will not be allowed if it significantly exceeds my current baseline maximum of little spinner. The lightweight class is now capped at 13.6kg unless 3 or more additional robots above this weight sign up.

Looking forward to seeing you all there.

Thanks James, the plan is that Sally my daughter will be driving. I hope the arena walls are tough as they will probably get a lot of hits from us.
