A subject we have been chatting about for short while is possibly looking at something similar to battlebots 'sportsman class'.
im not sure of their criteria but what do you all think of this
20kg weight limit, spinners can compete in the class but must be no more than 13.6-14kg any robot over 14kg can have a weapon but of the non spinning type [i think we know what i mean by spinning weapon]
crushers,flippers ,lifters,thwack,ram,wedges bots are all ok
at least this way spinners can still compete ,granted against more armour but i think most of the spinners i compete against would still woop a lot of heavier robots.
so lets talk about it ,i think its a gradual step up towards genuine lightweights but more of a slow progression, without the extra cost of upgrading electronics drives ,batteries etc ,but is incouraging the use of varied weapon genre which i can sense everyone is desperate to do and see _________________ Photos - http://community.webshots.com/album/154092733uokpXC
