New Event idea

Post by razerdave »

Hi guys

I had been considering doing a fun event that resembles the Robots Live! team event in Norwich, 4 teams of 6-8 robots doing a variety of challenges, such as pinball, raceway (figure of 8 makes it harder), Football/hockey, tag team and then the final melee (both full combat). At the event they had points for the winner of each event, and the final melee was worth double the points of the other events (in the event of a tie, the winners of the final melee go through). You'd have 2 heats with Team 1 and 2 in one, team 3 and 4 in the other, and the qualifying 2 go through to compete in the games again.

If I were to put the event on, would you guys want to try it ?

Thanks for the offer Henry but I'd rather use something like Pete's arena because it will be full combat. I may have to make a new set-up for raceway and pinball anyway.

I think I will be going ahead with this, and I was thinking of doing it in the quiet season, August/september where there aren't any events to clash with. 13th and 27th of august I am free, these dates good for anyone ? If not I'll re-arrange.
