My thoughts exactly, a hard to beat bot like an EDF is great IMO as it'll drive innovation and make builders create some new and interesting designs.

After the controversy over EDFs at AWS, I'm having a go at designing a bot that can defeat them. Its weapon will be useless against most other bots though so I'm going modular. Just finished designing a base drive and control module that'll contain the motors, battery and TinyTwo speed controller, a...

Is there any way to redesign an arena to reduce the effectiveness of an EDF?

I'd build one if the size allowance was bigger. Kinda limits creativity trying to cram in in such a small volume.

I'll definitely be coming down to this with a few bots

Rather tempted to build one for the next AWS

Wired it up to test and it sucks (In a good way)! Tested it at full throttle with a 180mah lipo and it ran out after 30 seconds. Will definitely have to compete with the 460mah lipo.

Thanks Epic

If I'm plugging an ESC for my EDF into the TinyTwo, do I need to cut the red power line that'd normally power a servo or do I leave that intact?

Tweaked the chassis to save some weight. Takes the weight down from 17g to 13g, not much but every little helps.
