heavy weight cluster bot
I am thinking of a heavy weight cluster bot made up of about 4 -5 featherweight sized bots , these will be semi autonamous , whats the rules on autonamous bots , and is there a limit to the number of nodes in a cluster?

You'd need more than 4 featherweights to make a heavyweight, and I know that Roaming Robots wouldnt let you run it in their arena against other heavies unless there are no flippers in the arena, after what happened with Tanto Jr at one of their events. Seen as the majority of heavyweights are flippers, you'd hardly ever get a battle, and wont be able to enter championship fights either.
There are no limits for the number of robots in a clusterbot, its often been joked about putting 10 antweights in as a featherweight cluster, but this would be a nightmare of arrangement (all ants would need to failsafe, have power lights, removable links ect ect and most would end up totally destroyed)

maybe not such a greta idea , dave told me about the flipper rule so a there isnt a spinner arena in the uk , im stuffed!
i was going to do it with my laptop (on the outside !!!) and loads of xbee modules , i was going to drive it with an xbox controller connected to my pc , xbee modules run on 2.4GHZ and are effectively bluetooth.
