(, Tue 30 Jul 2019, 12:51, , Reply)
This is a normal post Not sure what you mean by 'class' - it's not official Rbt Wrs so I think we'd rather stay under the radar!
The rules we use are that it has to fit in a cube of regular baseplates (256mm), weigh less that 1kg (including batteries), and only use official LEGO parts - the remote control is using the IR 'Power Functions' system and is only allowed to use two IR channels (four motor channels), which leaves the same for your opponent.

If you use fewer channels then you can have 3- or 4-way scraps. We tried running leagues and knock-outs, but it's more fun just to improvise the rounds. There's a mix of fairly tough contenders, and some designed just to destruct spectacularly.

This is a normal post It's rare, but it's possible to properly break stuff.
Usually self-inflicted though, like too much tension in a spring-loaded flipper snapping off an arm, or mashing your own gears when trying to push another robot.

And there are some weighty metal bits in the back-catalogue of LEGO (train, boat, counter weights etc.) that can add momentum and cause more damage. Someone built one that used its own battery box as a mallet.

But it has a very sensitive cut-out circuit if a motor gets stalled and the current goes shooting up, which can leave you a sitting duck.
The AAA battery box I use in Wreckasaurus cuts out near the end of his scrap. The only one that doesn't seem to cut out easily is the 6xAA box, but that's the heaviest of all.

This is a normal post It’s interesting, isn’t it?
I really think that for us, who all grew up listening primarily to recorded music, we tend to forget that until about 120 years ago ephemeral experience was the only one people had. I remember reading about a huge fan of Beethoven who lived to the age of 86 [in the era before recordings], and the great triumph of his life was that he’d managed to hear the Fifth Symphony six times. That’s pretty amazing. They would have been spread over many years, so there would have been no way of reliably comparing those performances.

All of our musical experience is based on the the possibility of repetition, and of portability, so you can move music around to where you want to be, and scrutiny, because repetition allows scrutiny. You can go into something and hear it again and again. That’s really produced quite a different attitude to what is allowable in music. I always say that modern jazz wouldn’t have existed without recording, because to make improvisations sound sensible, you need to hear them again and again, so that all those little details that sound a bit random at first start to fit. You anticipate them and they seem right after a while. So in a way, the apps and the generative music are borrowing from all of the technology that has evolved in connection with recorded music and making a new kind of live, ephemeral, unfixable music. It’s a quite interesting historical moment.
