What about Laser 2? (forum username 'Laser')
Ben didn't get signed up before the places got filled but he posted a video featuring some of its upgrades recently and was gutted that he missed out on a spot at the champs. It's a nicely made robot and would be good to see it again.

If Laser 2 want's to sign up tell him to post or get in touch and we can get that sorted.

The last time those two fought didn't Beauty end up with no wheels and no gas bottle?

I've only had time to have a quick look at the draws but I think LS4 could be in with a chance. It's draws could be very much to it's advantage, it did very well a couple of years back.
Only problem is the fight with BitzaWood, which BitzaWood will have to win, but almost could have been perfect.....

As for my draw, 2 rambots, 2 axes and 2 horizontal spinners. Horizontals will be an issue with my vertical weapon, do I take it off?

Your disc itself will be fine but I can see the supports possibly going. As a comparison, Will took off his 12mm thick disc against NST as he was afraid it would get bent. I left my 10mm disc on against NST and it mostly survived; it had a big nick out of it but that was all. Up to you really, you know your machine better than anyone else.

How do the teeth look after those collisions?

Re: Robo Challenge - 2013 FRA UK Featherweight Championships

They took on about a 2mm radius against the bar in the first test. Nothing changed when we attached the Belling. We could sharpen them again but I think we will leave them like that as they are not compressing any further so should be fine in combat.
