The weight has been increased to allow people to make their robots unique and interesting, not for hardox...

You know what, thats near the exact wording on mentorns documents from when they increased the weight limit to 100kg - worked brilliantly :P

At the moment unfortunately due to the arenas available there are quite a number of flippers because they are very effective. As they are all well designed and streamlined we know they wont have weight to make their robots unique without making big changes or starting again. With the short time scales available, the 110kg limit allows teams to make additions to their robot to improve them which is more feasible.

Hope their not bringing back the original house robots that would be a bit pants.
Their a lot of talk on social media saying bring back razer and hypnodisc, but I don't think old fans realise how much robots have evolved.

Being a newbie team, maybe next year. A few events to get things going and make sure DUMBLE and ACE are up to to the level for the heavy weight class. Good luck to you teams participating )))

I heard that new houserobots are being build for that exact reason.
Nothing for sure though, but it feels like the right thing to do.

sooo many people saying bring back killalot, Craig Charles etc..... For it to work it's got to be all new

Graig Charles posted on twitter that he wasn't approached yet.
