'Robot Roulette'

[bitternboy]

I think it's a great idea. Less experienced roboteers would get a go at driving more advanced robots and more experienced ones could prove themselves as masterful drivers by winning with less well built ants.

One thing I would like to add. If an even number of fleas were entered, each could be allocated to a driver and they could be paired up randomly as clusterbots. Since there are more fleas around than usual, this may be a way of including them, although the number of fleas entered may be small as I expect teams would rather enter their antweights.

I thought about it and I just thought adding clusterbots into the mix would make it more complicated.

In terms of spinner competition, its entirely up to the concensus of the group whether they want to do full combat or not, but I prefer full combat, plus we would have already done a non-spinner comp before the AWS.

Haz: Best robot for you to drive would be Dynamite, thats a robot that drives on the diagonal

I may do a random draw from the AWS 33 contestants for curiousities sake, I'll post later

[razerdave]

Ok, random draw done for speculations sake:

bloomin brilliant! it realy is, great idea

on the controls note i was more woried about other people adapting to my controls.
i will definatly be up for this, roll on aws 34

[alasdair]

Are these the real draws or an example?

[bitternboy]

I'd probably want to enter R of the O rather than antidepressant, unless of course Oliver especially wants to drive it; which I doubt.

[Andrew_Hibberd]

Must design a 6 channel robot for confusion ^^

[alasdair]

Oh I would rather enter MANTis or FrANTic than TruANT. He a bother to dr ive and he is going under a bit of work at the mo.

[razerdave]

I just picked a random robot from each team that entered at the last AWS, its purely for speculation. I am happy with my draw though

[razerdave]

I've just realised I've been a complete spanner and somehow missed Peter W out of the draw XD

I'll have to do it again another time, or wait til the AWS to do it
