[Vertigo]

Not to the extent of those examples, but essentially yes. Except for the main competition (Newport this year).

Somebody make a translational thwack.
Probably FW, it will add variety.

Like this?

[playzooki]

Nah.

I think Herr Gepounden or whatever was translational

[R1885]

It is translational. It's part of its name.

Essentially, yes from a crowds point of view!

We're always trying to encourage variety, but when people are spending thousands on robots they're almost always going to build the most competitive design, and you can't really blame them for that.

As regards to our team, we have our two competitive robots, Explosion and Eruption. We have now contemplating building a few other robots of a different design. This year already saw the introduction of Combustion at the GSL (FW spinner), which didn't go so well so is currently being rebuilt. We are then looking to build a FW axe, and then do what we did with Explosion and scale it up to a heavyweight.

So Vertigo just asking a question but do you have any influence in the UK sport to the point where you can request to allow spinners in because your bot is in the combat robot hall of fame?

[playzooki]

He dossnt have control, but if he said something, people are more likely to respect it.


And vertigo is against spinners.

lol the hall of fame doesn't count for much.

I don't have any literal "control" but influence in the sense that we have quite a lot to do with the two major EO's so I suppose my opinion is respected and regarded.

But there's no way that I'm going to request spinners at the main events.
