PVC is pretty good, you can mould it freely after soaking in hot water and it doesn't wear away or snap easily.

Re: New Robots- Continued
That's a good point. I guess 4 inches is better than "15 and a bit centimetres". Thats just the way the original rules were laid out and they haven't been changed to date. Hopefully they wont be changed either, they're the basic fundamentals of our antweight class. It'd be like changing the heavyweight or featherweight weight limits.....oh, wait. Bad example. lolspeaking of why are you guys measuring size in an imperial unit and weighing them in metriclolwhut.

I think that's probably Adam Clark's fault
I've always seen it as a 100mm limit though, with the extra 1.6mm ensuring you can build a robot and then not have to get it in the cube with a rubber mallet if it's exactly 100mm wide.

All innuendos aside, I'd say 15 and a bit centimetres is better than 4 inches, considering 4 inches is just 10 and a bit centimetresDave26 wrote:I guess 4 inches is better than "15 and a bit centimetres".

Ben: might be an idea to fit a 3 position switch for your axe to stop stalling at all.

Re: New Robots- Continued
Very nice craig
.
Whats Anto made of ? and what parts are in it ? Seems a tad limited on space in there
I like the idea behind Saxon, bit like Tridente from RW series 6. Servo driven I noticed, nice to see
