Re: robot wars

The limit was 80kg until Series 4 I think... 100kg after that. Walkers could be double the normal limit. For comparison, FIRST Robots must weigh below about 53kg (if I can recall my Imperial-Metric conversion correctly from last year) which would place them at about the maximum limit for Middleweights.

Mortis and Razer both cost around £30,000 if memory recalls, compared to the maximum cost of $3,500 for a FIRST Robot (See Section 5 rule <R49>)
