Re: Robo Challenge Tag Team Champs & Power Tool Drag racing!

so 1 team needs 2 dragsters?

Re: Robo Challenge Tag Team Champs & Power Tool Drag racing!

yeah, 1 robot = 1 dragster

[james...venom]

Re: Robo Challenge Tag Team Champs & Power Tool Drag racing!

yes one 'tag team' made of 2 robots requires 2 dragsters. 1 dragster per competitor.

Re: Robo Challenge Tag Team Champs & Power Tool Drag racing!

So, if we were to enter 2 robots in different tag teams would we have to build 2 dragsters??

Re: Robo Challenge Tag Team Champs & Power Tool Drag racing!

I misunderstood the entry conditions, i thought that it was 1 dragster per team, plus £10.00 per robot to enter.Under the current financial climate i cannot run to the expense of £30.00 plus 3 dragsters plus travel food and accomadation.We have discussed long and hard about this and have come to the decision that Wendy and myself will have to let our tag team partners down as we will no longer be entering our robots for this event.Subject to confirmation from Alex's partner we will still attend with Tiny Toon.
We would have quite happily entered all 3 robots but are unhappy at having to build 3 dragsters to enter when we primarily want to fight robots.One per team would have been a bit of fun, but keeping three robots running,whilst also building three dragsters is just to much, financially and time wise.

1 dragster per team is perfectly fine

I think this is where the confusion sets in. That's quoting Grant from 1st May.

I too misunderstood the entry conditions it seems, as I thought since the £10 and dragster entry covered the requirements for the whole team, I could enter two robots without the need for an additional dragster.

Re: Robo Challenge Tag Team Champs & Power Tool Drag racing!

Glad i made a dragster ages ago at college for a project, otherwise i wouldnt of bothered.

Jamie- it doesnt bother me if a flipper wins aslong as its not john lears. Id hate even more for a 13.6kg block on wheels to win...Zzzz

Re: Robo Challenge Tag Team Champs & Power Tool Drag racing!

I Think This is going a bit far .............

My understanding was that each Team entering the compertition had to build a powertool dragster .... ( Fair enough ) This will increase the number of enteries which i think was a condition of silverline giving you the venue for the tag team champs....
Entery fee £10 ok so this is ok too ....

But now it appears that its £10 per robot + a dragster this a bit un fair i think
we and a lot of other teams have more than 1 robot which means you are getting more than 1 robot turn up for a team but the cost far out ways the reason for entering .

I Think that £10 per team and 1 dragster per team is fair and what i and other thought, you will still be getting more dragsters turn up ie extra's from teams compeating in the tag team champs . .. But if its £10 per robot + a dragster i Know i will not be in a position at this time to enter after all there is a credit crunch going on amongst other things ....



Not only this but it seems our partners are pulling out too .....

Re: Robo Challenge Tag Team Champs & Power Tool Drag racing!

ahhh ok

well as john L was building a drag, and i didnt have to as im his tag team partner, i was up for the event again,

But now, wanting to enter Rip Evo, and Stripper 2, and having to pay £20, and having to build two drag racers for an event to get my robot trashed with no prize money and no audience isn;t appealing anymore!!

Have fun guys !

Re: Robo Challenge Tag Team Champs & Power Tool Drag racing!

Hello all,

The rules are meant exactly how they are written.

ALL competitors that wish to enter the Tag Team Championships MUST enter at least one catagory of the Power Tool Drag racing event.

This is not all 'Tag teams'. this is all 'competitors'.

However as grant has said earlier and has been qouted (1 dragster per team is perfectly fine)
, we decided to allow 1 dragster to cover your 'team' (for those who build more than one robot this is for you) it does not cover the 'tag team'.
