If there was an event closer to me that ran them I'd consider it, but as it is, the largest class that's run with any regularity within a reasonable distance of me is 30lbs.

The Atlanta Mini Maker Faire was yesterday, and Atlanta Robot Combat (new group I've been helping with) put on a 1 and 3 pound tournament in an uncommon format. The opening "qualifiers" were done as 2v2 matches with randomly paired teams. With a total of 6 bots, there were 6 tag team matches with each robot sitting out twice. The Top 4 robots after these matches (based on a scoring system of 2 points for a win, 1 point for being mobile at the end of the fight) move on to the semi finals to face off 1 on 1 to determine a champion.

NCR did quite well with Klazo tying for 3rd, Reptar finishing 2nd and Algos winning the 1lb class. Klazo also won the 1lb rumble.

Video is uploading and will be populating my channel shortly- http://www.youtube.com/user/mikencr
Once the upload is done, I'll have playlists posted for each weight class and the overall event.

In Europe, fairyweights are called antweights.

I know...

Does the fairyweight class have a size restriction like the UK Antweight class does? I'm guessing that Keres couldn't compete in UK Antweight competitions due to it being unable to fit in a 4 inch cube.
Still looks sweet though.

There is no size restriction here. The blade I heard was five inches in length.
