I have never, ever stated my opinions to be fact. I tried to be as unbiased as possible while writing the first post of this thread, but obviously it's difficult for me to be entirely unbiased when I am firmly on one side of the discussion, and so I of course welcome opposition. I have said, and I ...

Some however argue that intentionally trying to tip the balance of successful designs and strategies in a way intended to make more kinds of robots and strategies have an equal chance is not something that should be done. There are also those who believe that reducing the drop-off will actually tip...

Less drop off is required to even the playing field between different designs and types of robots.

Hello to you all. I have been following the forum for the last few weeks after being inspired by the Robots Live event in Norwich. My 5yr old son is mad on Robot Wars and I thought an ant weight would be a great Father Son project. Welcome. Lovely to see more new faces. Just one warning, it gets re...
