"Ausbot" - outdoors
This is kind of related to the thoughts kicking around about the non-flat multi-terrain arena being planned for events, such as Robowars at sidetracked, for the middleweights (and larger).
I called it Ausbot just for a quick reference name more than anything... call it what you want.
Since it is easy to find a bit of un-even land (with a few kinds of surface such as grass, dirt, logs, etc) almost anywhere in this fine country, why not start exploring multi-terrrain combat outdoors?
Of course safety is an issue, so no spinners would be allowed, and to prevent a huge jump from feathers to middleweight, maybe lightweight bots could be the answer...
Besides perhaps a low bot-retaining fence to keep the fights in one dedicated place, little else is required to set up. Besides general melee fighting, I was wondering about having a square in the middle of the 'arena' (made out of railway sleepers for example) where you could put an opponent to end the fight with a TKO - similar to the pit in some overseas arenas.
Thoughts / ideas anyone ? _________________ There is no such thing as excessive carnage.
