Re: Rule 3c - Arena Drop-off

Alternatively, as a major shake up, do a restart if both robots leave the arena so that a pusher can't 'overcommit' and has to be in full control when pushing its opponent out.

Re: The AWS43 Feedback Thread

Did like the port holes. Much quicker than the flaps on other arenas

Re: The AWS43 Feedback Thread

Great event , thanks to all the organisers

The double elimination tool certainly helped
The separate areas for the fights vs the pits was great

My impeccable driving meant I went out to the chickens - that was no yolk :)
