Missed a thread

Some kids across the road have a few supersoakers. Not sure which sort but I might go over and ask to borrow them. Either that or see what I can find in the garage

Rules Of Engagement (Super Soakers)
Roboteers and teams are valid targets if carrying any water projecting equipment or if there is reasonable suspicion that they may be concealing such or they are suspected of past misdemeanors.
Soaking must cease if €œUNCLE€ is called
Non valid attack areas include the inside of tents, the pits, proximity to robots, the inside of cars, basically anywhere that material damage is likely (fried bot or car stereo electronics are likely to ruin somebody weekend).
Points to be awarded (at the evening barbie where we can swop stories) for surprise, stealth teamwork and cunning after all this isnt just about whos got the best weapon.

Hang on a moment Terry,
The rules of engagement need to be approved by the FRA (Fighting Roboteers Association!!)
...Having looked at your version, can I recomend an amendment or two?..
Roboteers and teams are valid targets if carrying any water projecting equipment or if there is reasonable suspicion that they may be concealing such or they are suspected of past misdemeanors.

Fine in princable.. but should be shortened to read.. Roboteers and teams are valid targets (who needs an excuse!!)


Non valid attack areas include the inside of tents, the pits, proximity to robots, the inside of cars, basically anywhere that material damage is likely ...
No problem there, in fact if ANYONE discharges ANY water device in the pit area they will be in VERY DEEP S**T, both with the event organiser and the real FRA!!:sad:

Soaking must cease if €œUNCLE€ is called...Just remember, roboteers are famous for being hard of hearing when it suits them!!..So dont rely on it!! :wink:

Sounds like this is going to be fun!

How about: Roboteers and teams or people with the name Hoppitt are valid targets.

Roaming Robots / Robot Rampage, Newark 19th / 20th June 2004

amended rules of engagement look fine to me.

Ed is a very valid target. Even if he is screaming Uncle.

If any personnell damage is done then the offending person will have to look after Kiara for a day!!!

ok if roboteers are valid targets then team bud will be up for a water fight but we have a slight advantage of a couple of quadbikes so we will be refilling our guns faster. also a basket of waterbombs wouldnt go a miss either.
