Thanks for your input Dave. I really appreciate the work you put in to ensure that the AWS is a fair competition; very admirable indeed. I do take sticking to the rules very seriously so I am upset to see that you believe Robox to have been against the rules on the point of entry into AWS 55. I pers...

After the rule debates about expansion at the weekend with Team Effort and Team Antivate, I was told that it didn't say in the rules that an expanding robot (or any robot for that matter) had to start in the configuration in which it fits within the four inch cube size limits. It most certainly doe...

Wow, that looks excellent Pete. Great job getting those so small.

Ah, I see, well that's pretty cool. Good luck with it!

Just what we needed, another way for you to make huge discs...

Looks incredible Alex; I know you'll have some big plans for it so excited to see the use it's put to.

That looks really amazing; looking forward to seeing it!

@Antroboteer Thanks Dave, not meant to be a definitive opinion; agreed I could have worded that better. Thanks for pointing that out. Some great comments have been posted and I think it has been agreed the rule isn't clear and is open to interpretation. Therefore, I guess what I am trying to say th...

it simply should not get the extra wight because a bristle bot mechanism would require less wight than just having wheels. even with a 2 sided system to have control, a tiny offset wight on a small fast motor and a tooth brush head seems like less wight and less effort than putting wheels on the en...

The final output would be the contact surface with the arena. Wheels are the contact surface of any roller and rotate more than 360 degrees. Legs are the contact surface of most walkers and they rarely rotate, merely move up and down (although you could class as an approx 90 degree movement of the f...

Without the bristles in that scenario, there would be no movement from the robot; the bristles are the moving legs. It's like saying walkers like Drumbledore aren't walkers because they use a motor which rotates more than 180 degrees spinning a cam shaft which would not make sense. I would classify ...
