If you get knocked out of the qualifiers you have the opportunity to enter the annihilator though

Ok. I'm assuming there will be Whiteboards throughout the weekend, providing we can keep the robot running we'll keep fighting it!

Slight thread highjack, but what do you guys do with your batteries between rounds? Would you advise giving them a fast charge between bouts, or letting them run a little low before doing so?

I know ideally I would want to run them flat and them trickle charge them, but I can't imagine that is practical at a competition!

fast charge. Do a few slow charge discharge cycles when you come home (if they are still in one piece). I wouldn't worry about the competition format. James and Grant will publish it soon i'm sure.

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

Here come the drums!

Yeah, the final will be Drumroll v Boner
Don't care who wins from that because either way it'll be a drum and either way the championship will be coming to Scotland :wink:
