Robo Challenge Championships - Insomnia 61

[james...venom]

Hi Guys

Really important. I am ever so sorry but I mistakenly sent the confirmation email to all 90+ entries. I am terribly sorry as this is my mistake. Regretfully we can't fit everybody in so I have just sent those who unfortunately were not selected a new email. Again please accept my sincere apologise for my mistake.

scruffy 4 confirmed and is there gonna be a order list for the reserves ..... would be nice to know if night fury stands a chance of getting in again

[Flag Captured]

It's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum... And I'm all out of gum.

Also hw3's in. LiveWire's on the reserve list but jury's out on whether it'll have been sold by then. But YAY ROBOTS.

Hatchet is confirmed, see you all there!!

Did you guys get some kind of notification for your individual bots? I'm entering two, but I just got the one confirmation email saying that my application had been accepted. I ask because people are talking about a reserve list...

[RogueTwoRobots]

Best bet is to email James/Grant and ask. I haven't seen any mention of what the entry fees are this year so not quite able to tell from the Paypal amount listed when you go to pay.

Team Tauron is confirmed with Spectre (Yes, it's now properly called Spectre and not Straddle!)

[R9000]

It was £25 for me. I'll probably show up with both bots regardless, even if one doesn't get a run in the competition. Still though, I might email James to ask.

Looks like your all scared of a little black box, running around like a Lunatic. Sadly I didn't get in. To be fair, it is just a black box on wheels, very little experience and not well made. More time on the heavyweight then. No worries, i'll just have to Smash you all at the live events instead. Good luck to everyone, hope you break each other to bits. Might have a mk2 or an entirely new build for 2018. Enjoy and look forward to the videos.

Following the rw rules going the way of allowing entanglement will this likely be something which will be allowed in the future with feather weights? Interested to know views on this! - Also I'm taking it that entanglements not allowed at this?

[Andy]

Since it's RW rules i thought entanglement was allowed, it would be pretty cool to see it work, probably more effective than in heavies

Flat Damon didn't make it . No mention of a reserve list. Fancy a fight in the car park Chris?

I have a similar issue, Amnesia 2 was accepted but Halcyon is a reserve. The invoice I received is for one robot only, is anyone aware of this being normal or should I have received an invoice for both?

Progress on both is going well, (thanks to Haz on the A2 side of things) both should be ready in time to get smashed up...

[Ocracoke]

Looks like I might not be able to attend fully - apparently I am meant to be at a wedding on the Sunday. I've e-mailed the organisers to see if I could still enter the side events (presumably the main competition goes over all 2/3 days) if there are any this year.

Hi Guys

Just a quick clarification on the rule sets.

Firstly Entanglement - This is not permitted in the main championship for this year only. It will be allowed as per RW rules in the side competitions and whiteboards so we can test how it works in FW's. the maximum permitted length will be 300mm

Link positions - For this year it is not required to have an extra link on all invertible robots although I would strongly advise building this in if you can.

All other RW rules still stand. Thank you.
