Dont know now if Drumroll will be running for this event - have decided to completely redesign and build the inner chassis (plywood, fun though it was to work with, just splinters and rips too easily) Most likely a 3mm or 4mm welded ali inner chassis, with the mounting points for the drills and HTIs located too. So unfortunately I doubt the drum will be running by this point (maybe for the May event though )

Instead Ill focus on getting my crusher up and running and give that a little run out at this one

Any objection to me bringing my RFL spec. feather Pain In The Asp (13.58KG) to play? (not in the main comp. of course!)

Hi John, competition format hasnt been written up yet. We want to get a rough estimate of how many people will be looking at comming so we can decide what will fit best. Were hoping to have some more fun style fights, possibly tag teams or Football again (but with a few less robots :P)

Ok guys we have decided to make this a proper Tag Team championship event!

When you have decided who your partner will be please post here.

Also we need to decide on the ruleing. do we have bases where one team member has to stay until tagged in or is it a four way battle? let us know your thoughts.

I dont believe that a proper tag in tag out system would work in the arena so I am all for a four way battle or rather a 2 team way battle (if you follow me )

4 Robots, two teams, battle, tag team battles always end up like that anyway, may as well start as a two team battle.:-)
