So, flip out drive up ramp, bloody iron awe waiting at the top to drive into side and flip us straight back out again?

Is there an exclusion zone at the top of the ramp back into the arena to stop this? Otherwise it sort of defeats the objective of prolonging the fights.

Also, you gonna give us a running track around the arena so we can see the robot to drive up said ramp when the robot dissapears over the other side and we cant see it

Im not so sure about this ramp idea getting robots back into the area. I like the idea of making half the arena walls higher to help stop out of the arenas happening though. Gets boring otherwise.

And i beleive the flames are coming for Portsmouth Andy.

Winter Tour section on the site goes live late next week.

We will also be filming our behind the scenes DVD at Portsmouth and may wish to do some interviews with the teams, how your robots are built and so on,, tips for new commers and all sorts. So make sure your robots are all painted nicely and the wires inside your bots are neat. HAHA!

no were going to blindfold you and let you use the force to get back in !!

I am still working out final logisitics of how it will work... you will have a set drivers position so you will see what your doing. Just getting peoples opinions before i start hacking at the arena doors.


Flames.... quite possibly !

there wont be a ramp as such. i believe the arena will be extended about a meter and half on 2 sides which will be the same level. so imagine where your robot hits the floor, instead it will just be the other side of the barrier and you will be able to drive back in while other robot gets to the wating area so no iron awe wont be waiting for you. thats what i gather anyway i am sure jonno wll put me right if i am wrong. i think its a fantastic idea and will change the way we fight.

yes correct, current plans are not to have a ramp, but to have an automatic arena door and a loading pen !!!

Oh we also need some volunteers for uneven arena floor trials.

There will be a few raised sections retro fitted on sunday morning for trials.
They will be 12mm high and at 45 degrees at the joins.

Anyone up for it ?

12mm @ 45 degrees!! Is that it!! You might have given Pain In The Asp a real challenge, say 50mm @ 90 degrees!!

well eventually it will be 90 degrees, but you gotta start somewhere
