Re: 2011 Robo Challenge UK Championships. April 15-17, NEC

lol i think 360's going to be a demmo bot from now on, its done its bit introducing brushless onto the scene, LS4 has taken the crown as the top spinner now lol and ive invested far to many hours on it and far to much money on it to get it wrecked....although if i knew vortex was entering earlier i probably would of got it ready just on the off chance of getting to fight it...

..having said that if anyone wants to give me a new brushless esc, and a set of brass gears for my bosch 35's id be happy to enter it lol.

Tom- probably going to be beauty winning again

Ok guys we only have 1 more entry place left! not long to go until the big day. Beauty 2 has a great chance, I think Vortex, Explosion and LF3 could all do really well. Tiny Toon will be really difficult to beat too so its a very hard one to decide.

Re: 2011 Robo Challenge UK Championships. April 15-17, NEC

As much as I'd like to see Captain Scarlet reclaim, I reckon it'll be a drum this year.

Here come the drums!

When is the draw going to be done?

Re: 2011 Robo Challenge UK Championships. April 15-17, NEC

Can some one please tell me how the competition is run? I mean in terms of qualifiers, quarter, semi, and finals? etc.....

Also what does the draw dictate?

Thanks,

Re: 2011 Robo Challenge UK Championships. April 15-17, NEC

Well, going off the champs in 2009, it goes roughly like this:

To start we have 3 qualifier round with three robots in each, from these qualifiers we gain points for the following
4 points for a knockout win
3 points for win by judges decision
2 points for 2nd place
1 point for 3rd place (but the robot must have entered the arena)
0 points for not entering the arena

The qualifier rounds are decided by the pre-event draw

Top ten scores from the qualifiers go through to the knockout rounds, which goes:
5 1v1 fights
5 way losers melee, 1 robot goes through

3 1v1 fights
3 way losers melee, 1 robot goes through

2 1v1 semifinals

3rd place play off

Final

A drum might take it this year. Drumroll/Boner has done very good the past 2 years. Just need some one to work out how many flippers / vert spinners / horizontal spinners and boxes etc theres going to be this year.
