Okay everyone, this should answer a few questions and stir some inspiration, at least for the PF catergory! As you can see, pure Lego can be a destructive force! Check out all fights featuring "Whiplash" from Series 4 onwards. To fit within the "rules" of this particular builder, the competitors chassis and armour is no where near as strong as it could have been... 45L in comparison is huge. But as there may not be any actual fights in this competition, it will be interesting to see how people use the space, and if the weaponry can still be effective at such a size. Good luck everyone and I hope this stirs a resurgance!

WoW! My project has finished (that is to say, on hold until it can be revived, without creating speculation that it will indeed continue...) However I stumbled accross the huge amount of sbrick discussion on the net as the whole, this thread seems to have the most discussion/information. I want to tell you that everything about it sounds fantastic, but also that it may take my idea to the next level. My project was called Lego Robot Wars (often abbreviated to LRW) with 7 series which can be seen on Youtube. Being restricted to 4 channels meant that most matches where 1-on-1, with the occasional 3-way whereby competitors could only use one half of a channel per weapon and one competitor would have no active weapon at all. It seems like the sbrick will eliminate three issues I came across with regards to control: 1) exposed expensive piece (not good in the circumstances, also imposed the overall look) 2) sometimes lack of sight (loss of control) 3) limit to two channels per competitor (during 1-on-1 matches) But it will also mean - if I am understanding correctly - that with the 4 channel limit lifted many competitors could compete at once, with more than two channels available per competitor (more weapons/righters/lights/effects/etc). Apologies to anyone alienated by the robot-wars-related jargon I have used! Anyone confused I will be happy to elaborate on the poject : ) Is their an interface for controlling RC vehicles that use tank-style steering? As that is what nearly all competitors would use. I feel the game pad control might be ideal here - set of controls for drive and triggers/buttons for the weaponry/accessories. This would seriously aid my dream of taking LRW to the next level; i.e. from my old bedroom to larger scale public events! ADDITION! Forgot to ask - I think I read in a previous post that the app would also tell you the remaining battery life - is this correct?
