How about a robot with mirrored-glass armour? If anyone broke the armour, they'd instantly get 7 years' bad luck, and lose. Genius!

Ha ha.. next you'll be suggesting gaffer taping live puppies and kittens to the robot... who would attack that?!?! Wonder if there is anything in the rules about that!

"No animals"

Sorry.

Christ this brings back child hood memories for me. Am I right in thinking there was a very successful robot called discus?

I remember that very thing coming up and being addressed by Mentorn (in fact it was not a live animal but a pelt that was being objected to) - but I checked the latest rules I could find on the internet and could not see any reference to it. There is a catch all clause saying they reserve the right to ban your robot anyway, and my guess is that's what would happen if you strapped fluffy to your 'bot (pussy-bot, anybody?). Meow.
