AWS19

Yes, I was trying to say the same thing as Gary, but he put it better than me as usual.

Pete, it was aimed at walkers only until the committee meeting at the end of AWS18, where Andrew turned up with a flea as half of a cluster on Scotts team, but still had four ants of his own too. Craig said that, as we want to encourage clusters as much as walkers, then the "4th" robot of a team could be either a walker, a full cluster, or half a cluster with another team (in which case it would count as number 4 for both teams, like Gary said). Clusters don't get the weight advantage though.
I intend to run it this way for AWS19 if the issue comes up, unless of course anyone objects?

I did indeed have a flea as a 5th robot, but i saw it as scotts team and i was a driver for him. However, i will not be entering a flea for a while.

With all due respect to Craig him saying somthing doesn't make it law. As I remember it the committee agreed that a cluster bot would count as one of your entries but I don't remember it being extra to the limit of three rollers. Having said that my memory isn't what it used to be and it never was that good so maybe some of the other committee might like to comment on that.

I don't remember it clearly either. Sorry

I can't have made it up can I?
Well, do the commitee want to vote on it now then? I personally don't see a problem with the ruling, but the officials have got to have to final say. I don't think the situation is going to arise anyway like, cause there aren't many fleas around.

I'm sure you didn't make it up Dave.

My memory is a sad shadow of what it was pre-kids. Perhaps we should take minutes next time, and if it's not a problem for AWS 19 then we could discuss it again.
