anyone got any decent spinner fights?
no because there wasnt any :rofl:
na there was a few - i think the losers fight was the best one
i want a one on one with a spinner :sad:
but at every robochallenge event iv only eva lost 1 fight - well iv lost fights and got bk in but they dont count
been in 4 finals - won 3 and lost 1 to grant as i had a major gas leak or he would of been out! lol
hopefully at tag team event ill get to but ill make rip do all the hard work lol
you have been lucky though aswell john. Rip kept you in last years tag team as LF through himself out and this years UK again LF almost had you out but you bounced off the wall and got a lucky position on him. both events could have gone a completely diffrent way. especially if you had a 1 on 1 with venom ;) lol
o i no :P been very lucky
its all about luck
iv been lucky in all the comps to as i think iv only ever been up against 1 spinner which was leos last year - as we have never had many fights against spinners we dont know how good we are - but its the luck of the draw
LH went stright through the spektrum at the event b4 the champs and it could of happened again at the champs
hornet was also very unlucky in his fight spinning himself oota id like to see gary go far next event
and im glad an axe got far - i think there the best robots and would love to see more - as i think we only have 2 atm? which is a low number compared to other weapons
or a 1 on 1 with dizzy :P:P:):)
my dad told me before that hes already done that before with the old one and you cut it in half :P
TWICE :):):):)
You crazy lot :wink:
Lol you and me both John.
After 3 events I am finally understanding how the internals of hornet act in a battle and have gained valuable info which you can only gain in full combat.
One of the problems with finding problems in a spinner is that they can only crop up during full combat competitions (like all other machines) but with so few comps around it takes a few to find these weaknesses.
Might throw a damage report on a hornet 2 thread at some point in the next few days as I dont have much on :)

A very wise move. Anyone can spin a bit metal up to a crazy speed. Doing it repetitively, under control and being able to withstand newtons laws yourself is another matter
Yep. A flipper will be me first. Although there are hazards involved there, Im quite sure of my knowledge of safety procedure, unlike with spinners. Still, you can never know too much. :)
You going to RoboGames, Gary?
Sadly I will have just arrived on the east coast of the states on the 11th of June and will be working on a summer camp for 10 weeks. I cant see my employers being too chuffed about me wanting to travel to California for a few days off before I have even begun :)
Shame. :sad:

That hit I got on Cyberon that flipped it over is the best hit the drum could muster all weekend :lol:
After that it either kept on burning out motors or my opponents were too wedgy in shape to gain purchase on anything. If I can get every hit to be like that first hit, then Ill be on the road to improvement :)
Lol Andrew you just had to miss some of my best hits in the losers melee :)
Sorry Gary..are you going to tell my wife? your a braver man than me!:)
Here are some more wobbly videos.......

Great vids Andrew but i am still hoping that somebody has got film of Tiny Toon v Dizzy Tilly.
If any body has but not yet had time to upload it could you let me know please.
I honestly have no idea if my teammate captured it or not on camera. If it was on the Sunday he might have recorded it as he got most of his footage from that day - Ill be going back home on Saturday night so will try and get hold of all his footage then and see if hes got it
thanks Jamie, but unfortunately it was saturday, 2nd show.
Ahh, then I doubt we have any footage of it then - sorry Clive. Im sure someone somewhere will have caught it though; Im quite eager to see it myself as I was busy replacing stupid weapon motors at the time and missed the battle
some more wobbly videos!!
