AWS rules state you are only allowed to enter 3 rollers (robots on wheels) max on one team. A fourth robot may be entered but must either be a walker or a clusterbot. 4 robots max per team.

Why not make one of your robots to a temporeily walker with a simpel leg design,
or do you not have enough time.

You could still enter all four, but you'd have to give one to another driver for the competition. I don't know how many team members you've got, but if you're bringing someone, they could drive the fourth effectively as a 'seperate team'. If you only have one set of radio gear, I'm sure you could borrow someone elses transmitter to bind the robot to if you get drawn up against each other.

It depends if you want to have someone else responsible for one of your robots, lol. But the '3 rollers per team' rule has been around for ages, I thought everyone was aware of it.

I dont think my dad (my other team member) should drive, as he even says that he is useless at driving! I might ask someone else to drive him for me.

Not at all rude!

I think that would be a good idea, and i think disobidiant is fit for the job :D .

I will ask my dad to confirm.
