I dont know if thats ment in sarcasm or not but I believe the last time would have been Series 5 of robot wars.Simon Windisch wrote:Interesting idea Ian. When's the last time a US robot came over here or vice versa?

I was just thinking that considering kilobots are tiny in the US and Beatle's are much larger it would be more benificial if both countries allowed the same weight limit if the class ever did take off.

There used to be one Kilobot event in the US, but then they switched to the 3 lber beetle class.
The only other Kilobots I know of (and compete lots in!) is in Canada.

ok guys its suprisingly obveous why other weight classes that have been thought off, havnt taken off. Its because theres no real event for it.
The AWS is our main event. You cant just say to people bring ur best aws for the biggest ant compertition in europe and say.....oh and btw bring down ur other weight classes.
Every time i have the option hmm should i build a 3rd ant or one of these obscure weight classes that so and so has.....ANT!
The solution is a seperate compertion entirely. It means that people actualy get time to prepair and build for it, and compete. Should be a no ant weight type event.
But maybe this should of been done a while back. Ant weights are a lil quiter now. I mean i admit i havnt been as involved recently, but i still know my stuff
