Re: Rule Debates
Thanks for your input Dave. I really appreciate the work you put in to ensure that the AWS is a fair competition; very admirable indeed. I do take sticking to the rules very seriously so I am upset to see that you believe Robox to have been against the rules on the point of entry into AWS 55. I pers...

Re: Rule Debates
After the rule debates about expansion at the weekend with Team Effort and Team Antivate, I was told that it didn't say in the rules that an expanding robot (or any robot for that matter) had to start in the configuration in which it fits within the four inch cube size limits. It most certainly doe...

Re: Walker rule clarification? Unusual design.
@Antroboteer Thanks Dave, not meant to be a definitive opinion; agreed I could have worded that better. Thanks for pointing that out. Some great comments have been posted and I think it has been agreed the rule isn't clear and is open to interpretation. Therefore, I guess what I am trying to say th...

Re: Walker rule clarification? Unusual design.
The final output would be the contact surface with the arena. Wheels are the contact surface of any roller and rotate more than 360 degrees. Legs are the contact surface of most walkers and they rarely rotate, merely move up and down (although you could class as an approx 90 degree movement of the f...

Re: Walker rule clarification? Unusual design.
Without the bristles in that scenario, there would be no movement from the robot; the bristles are the moving legs. It's like saying walkers like Drumbledore aren't walkers because they use a motor which rotates more than 180 degrees spinning a cam shaft which would not make sense. I would classify ...
