Saints and Sinners Team

Just so the team knows, I will be at a Golden wedding lunch in Oxford on Saturday, I hope to leave at about 2.30-3.00pm so time will be tight for the 6pm Saturday show. Dave you can take Cherub off me at Portsmouth if you wish.

Noted Clive, i'll dig them out, maybe i could fit one to Battleaxe, save me having to open the arena door so often!

Quick outline of the format, more will be in the roboteers email.

As said before, it will be different than last year in that all teams are competing in each show not just 2. So rather than you having a chaotic show, and then not taking part in the next, it will spread over the 3 shows. Every robot should get at least one fight/game per show. Points will be awarded for each fight/game, team with the most at the end of the 3 shows, wins!

Fight 1: 4 way fight, one robot from each team
Hockey: Two teams, two robots from each
FW
Fight (Special): Two teams, two robots from each. Different type of fight in each show (Driver swap, tag team, flipper frenzy ect, if you can think of any more types let me know)
Pinball: Two Teams, One robot from each, more features this year including a see-saw.
Interval
Boxers
Tag Team: Two Teams, two robots from each
Speedway: Two Teams, one robot from each, but ran twice so other two teams compete as well.
FW
Skele
Mellee: All Teams, two or three robots from each, depending on how many are running/attend.

After all three shows all teams will have competed in the same number of games/fights, but teams may compete in certain games more than others.

Re: 15th & 16th October 2011 - Robots Live - Kidderminster

I have worked out that if our when our team is selected to do Pinball, there must be three slots for the melee otherwise every robot will not have a chance to go in

Other than that, everything sounds great, I am assuming since the alternating events are as follows:
- Tag Team (Combat)
- Special Fight (Combat)
- Hockey (Game)
- Pinball (Game)
Each team will have one combat event and one game per show, or am I incorrect on this?
