Thanks John, I think allowing evolution is a sound decision. Max twice against any bot is good too.

... even better JL is happy to swap if we draw THz, new Alice will have fresh paintwork and we wouldnt want it scratched.

... that isnt a challange to THz to do more than scratch the paintwork!

Hi all, sorry to hear that RIAT wont have the same standing as it did last year but still very much looking forward to going. This will be the first week-end of my annual holidays. I hope it will be a little bit easier getting onto the camping field than it was last year although it was great fun watching all the idiots skidding all over the place - eh Swanny? Good job you werent the same size as our Mark!

Re: 2009 FRA Heavy Weight UK Championship.

Hi just a note for Mr Stu,
The Saint has retired. And will not be running from now on. So please remove it from the competitors list.
To be frank it was a rubbish robot and I hope the new owner can do something better with the chassis than I did.
St Hammer is still going strong, and to confuse the matter I am changing the name of St Hammer to The Saint, from now on. As it now runs a sword more than a hammer!
So the old Saint is dead, long live the new Saint

Well the Uk Championship format is certainly working, and there has been some good hard faught fights!!
The brentwood format worked well having 3 way battles rather than 1v1, word on the street is that its a lot more entertaining. As long as you dont draw both iron Awe's !!!

Re: 2009 FRA Heavy Weight UK Championship.

oh looked ok on the preview... the forum doesnt accept tabs then as spaces !

You get the idea.

Remember... only the top 8 fight scores from each robot count. And it is the top 12 going through to the finals !!

Re: 2009 FRA Heavy Weight UK Championship.

I'm in a moaning mood today!

Is it just me or does the scoring system seems a bit strange to me. I mean if you look at the leage table take for example Big Nipper and And His Army, Cabraken. Why is it 9th and us 10th and Cabraken 11th? Surly Robots that are on equal points would then take the number of Wins, 2nd places and Losses into account in that order. Its only fair, it should not be on the number of fights.

Take KO & Pressure for example, they have lost 2 fights so surly they should be at the bottom.

Not getting at anyone, just pointing out that it should be made a bit clear as later on in the year it will remove any ambiguity that might arise.

Re: 2009 FRA Heavy Weight UK Championship.

Take KO & Pressure for example, they have lost 2 fights so surely they should be at the bottom.

I'm guessing for that one, event though they've lost two fights, they still get a point per loss which means that since they've got 2 points each, it would be odd-looking on the table for them to be at the bottom when the robots above them only have one point, albeit they've only had one fight.

Not sure on the And His Army, Big Nipper, Cabraken situation - perhaps it takes into account the number of battles they've had first? Jonno will probably have a more make-sense-of reply than this one

Re: 2009 FRA Heavy Weight UK Championship.

I think it is worked on points and then the name of the robot. Maelstrom is above me but has the same points because M is before S.
But i Could be wrong, the main point is you are in the top 12 at the moment that is all that matters. as the contest works its corse the 12th and 13th position will be the ones that matter to the Roboteers.

Oh Puck and Storm Force need to swap round
