Re: your AWESC questions - I'll clear that up once in this thread.
Legacy Calibration allows you to use "full forward throttle" at power on to enter calibration mode. I've had issues with a couple of customers reporting issues with unexpectedly entering calibration mode mid-battle. As I've since provided alternative ways to get into calibration, this is now a legacy feature (although still supported). As a general rule, you probably don't want it, unless you have very specific use cases (like the ESC being completely unreachable after you've built whatever uses it).
Calibration - The ESC needs to know where your endpoints are as all transmitters are different.

Is it possible to see a picture of the arena we’ll be using at the event?

I don't have an immediate picture to hand - but it will be the same one we used last year, albeit with a few changes. I will see if I can dig some photos out in the next day or two. Notably the floor will be a single sheet of hardboard, fractionally smaller than last year, instead of the two sheets we had last year, thus avoing any joins in the floor.

How many drop offs will it have as I’ve nevet see. Your arena before so I’m just curious.

The arena has 2 drop off edges.
Sorry for short reply. On mobile.

It’s okay man just wondering because I don’t want to bounce myself out the arena with the spinner.

There is video... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYe_PA5pmVA
The arena has partial drop-offs on two sides, but not corners. Some parts have higher walls than others.
This is a very good design in my opinion, it allows pushing out of the arena but does not make it too easy; it allows powerful flippers /spinners to throw robots over the fence but not without a big hit.
As far as I can remember, pneumatic flipper Anticide got someone over the high fence

Robots: Betsie - RaspberryPi controlled flipper bot with gyro stablisation - too clever for her own good?
Stacie - tidy flipper; 4wd driven by hair bands

A query on fitting in the box - can I bend flexible outriggers to fit in? Because Jiggy fits if he goes in sideways and the tail bends upwards as he slides into the box. Otherwise the tail sticks out a fair bit.
Ignoring my poorly constructed box. I am confident it fits within 4 inches if the tail is allowed to bend

A grabber? I CHALLENGE IT WITH JIGGY!
