Although I very much wish to support the technical aspects of robot construction in the energetic and expanding Indian subcontinent, I am also greatly worried that I may be contributing to an extremely dangerous situation for builders and spectators. This has brought me to a painful decision:
| The 'Ask Aaron' website is closed to questions from builders competing in India |
The best enclosed arenas in India would be considered inadequate for 30 pound robots in Europe or the US but are hosting events for 132 pound 'bots. Aaron certainly wouldn't approve of the reckless endangerment of life and limb, and I will not contribute to the development of robots competing in India until arenas in the region are universally able to safely contain them.
