NOTE: the rules page has been modified quite dramatically. these changes apply to competition two (which will be called an 'Arena Race' for interests sake). The Grand Final will continue under the same rules as the last 4 rounds have. http://www.stories.com/main/view_item.php?item_id=144844 RoboRally Arena II - Minimalist.

Initially it was thought that if this happened the GF would be a reduced field but times have changed and whatever has replaced Toby gets to choose a replacement. Pure subjective merit basis for this selection apparently, here are the possibles: Poor-Y-Gone (4 pod done in round 4, finished 4th) Blighted (fourth in a competitive round 3, dealt out 9 damage) Twonky (bot of round 1 with 19 damage dealt out) Junkpile (4 pod and a frag in round 4, finished 3rd) Junkpile makes it being the only bot to score a frag ... For competition Two there will be definite predictable resolutions for scenarios like this. SO: BOT ........ LOC . OPTIONS Clunker .... H4W .
