Venom Can :)
Just got home after loading the arena away.
Just want to thank everybody for supporting the event. Little Hitter and Hornet 2 put on an amazing display indeed. Venom went out in the second round to wedgie :sad: i thought the battle was already over lol Well done to Beauty 2 Alpha and little hitter!
We hope you all enjoyed Robo Challenge hosting your 2008 Uk Championships! looking forward to the next event
thank you!
Thanks Robochallenge team for putting on a great event. Lots of fights, lots of excitement and the usual controversial judges decisions!! For our team, coming fourth was brilliant. With thanks to all the teams cheering us on when we fought Beauty 2.The highlight for us has to be flipping Venom :mrgreen:. See you all at the Thinktank.
post my videos asap!
Just got back in the house about an hour ago.
What can I say, my third Robochallenge event and as good as I have come to expect from the team. The amount of work the Coopers and their crew put into these events is phenomenal and it led to a fantastic couple of days :)
Well done to Beauty 2 for claiming yet another victory (grr :P)
And to Alpha and Little Hitter who claimed 2nd and 3rd place respectively.
Drumroll put in an improved performance compared to Thinktank but still many areas to improve on. The biggest change will be the weapon motors, going to go for a pair of Speed 900s to the drum for hopefully increased destructability :)
Although finding space in the robot for them could be challenging!
Thanks again to everyone involved who made it a great event, and hopefully see you all at Thinktank!
(Pics and vids should be up over the course of the week)
lol will - dont think ill be winning much from now on but hopefully will be
lots of good flippers getting built now - wedgie keeps on improving and the new explosion which i dont think i have seen before was very good
and i got a scottish £10 note within the prize which i think i will have to go to post office to change - u scots bringing down money what shops dont accept! lol well they never when i tried 1 before
also looking forward to think tank which i think will be a tag team event again so jonno u best start getting rip in top notch or im sacking you lol

excellent event guys! thanks to the guys i chated to for some advice and to mario for my drives! cant wait to get building and fighting soon!
Well we all got home safe and sound. Excellent event, well done to all the people from Robochallenge for setting up such a great show. Too bad the audience numbers were so low, but those that were there at least got to see some terrific battles and worthy winners.
Well done John and Little John, Beauty 2 really came through in the end but not without electrically challeging you all the way. :)
Hi Leo glad you are back safely
yeah we had our problems all the way through every round infact, thanx to leo and marios team also big nipper team and Pete for all the tools i borrowed ( 1 big family realy)
I dont think any one was stuck as we all help each other even when our next fight was aginst LH2 we still help each other ( the way it should be)
Now for the heavey ;) see you all at Rait ;) I WANT THAT ONE more than LJ so just watch this space lol

thanks to craig for lending me the battery to as if we didnt have that we wouldnt have won!
Just got home, congratulations to beauty 2, alpha, lh2, and wedgy. Great event robochallenge looking forward to think tank. As 4 4 toon was immobilised after 3 seconds in the first round losers melee, after brutally attacking hornet,(the only thing stopping me was a battery connection seperating by the way ) did i officially come last? Dont forget without us losers there can be no winners:proud:
Well done LJ:wink:

Not many, only 864 or so... the arena was a bit dark, causing too long exposure (making every movement a blur) and you know what polycarb does with flash.:sad: Too long exposure and the use of flash means less pictures per second.
Still... there are some excellent shots out there. If I may say so myself.
Ive been experimenting with the lens when taking pictures of Razer and Tiberius in action. Sometimes it even worked.
some great pics yet again, Elisabeth.
shame i missed this event, with some peoples mis fortunes i think i would of done well LOL
We wanted you there Adrian, we still are curious how Hannibalito IIIs armor would have stand up against Prodigy Evos weapon.
yeah sorry couldnt make it, not sure when the next spinner event will be? Prodigy will be covered in titanium by the next event.
Well done Robochalenge for a great event.
congrats to beauty 2 and the runners up.
Very pleased with the way Dizzy ran proves theres life in the old dog yet .
Next stop DIZZY TILLY EVO.
Best event ive enjoyed in a long time ....
I think i became a real roboteer again...
Once again well done to all the loosers as without us there are no winners..
Looking forward to the thinktank .......
ps: I Would like to see the vid of dizzy v tinytoon ...

was the pit left down in the beauty vs LH fight ? lol
lol no it went down when the pit release was hit or more to the point flipped.
Woo I won the annihilator!
Someone please upload my fight against Little Hitter, its nothing to be proud of, but it was funny to watch
we would love to see tiny toon v dizzy tilly, please someone put it on, specially as wendy retired to the bar with jackie (mothers nerves)and hasnt seen it at all yet.
Video time :)
Firstly, these videos were recorded on my camera rather on a decent camcorder so theyre not the best quality. After that we switched to my teammates camera which is a much higher spec and looked a lot better in quality, but I wont get hold of those videos until tomorrow at the earliest, so will try to get those uploaded on Sunday.
But for now:

Parachute upgrade on Tuff Luck for next event:-)
