Antweight Challenge Trophy
Since Whitwick I have been thinking more and more about running a small competition which could be run at larger events (such as roaming robots and robots live)
The idea is very similar to that of the Team Bud Challenge or the Challenge Belt from Robot Wars.
I have started to make a trophy which will be fought for at each event and the winner gets to defend at the following event.
I will start off the challenge with Ant Awe 6 at either Nottingham or Burgess Hill (depending on how many ants turn up to each)
The plan is to run a small knockout competition for antweight teams only (to stop the issue of robots not being ready for their fights). The winner of that competition will get to challenge Ant Awe 6 in a best of 3 contest for the Trophy.
The winner will then have their name on the trophy and will have to defend it at the next event.
What does everyone think? Who would like to enter? Which event should be the first one?
Let me know what you think
Thanks

I'm very much in favour of it, I probably won't be able to compete for it for a while (AWS32?) but Jigsaw's more than willing to take on whoever's holding it when the time comes

Sounds like a good idea. Maybe to promote the idea that it's a small, side-tournament, and also to up the challenge level, only one ant from each team should be allowed to enter, similar to what we do with the warm-up events at AWSs?

I've just noticed this- to be honest I had forgotten all about it until I came across the bits of the trophy that I started the other day so I will look at finishing that off before I head back to uni.
So I will start the challenge at Barnsley for anyone that is going- rules are pretty simple- one robot from each team that wish to take part enters a melee- the last one standing gets to take on one of my ants (not sure which one yet) for the trophy- the winner must defend it at the next event- if they are not attending then 2 new robots will fight for it.
I think that is pretty much everything- any questions feel free to ask and anyone that is going to Barnsley and would like to enter please post here
So who is up for the challenge??

ME!
I'll decide which robot on the day but count me in.
