What Motivates people ????

I always think WOW when I see your robots Calum, usually the WOW is followed by that thing looks really heavy
:p

I'm motivated to come to events because the people are great, I get to see and a compete in a sport I have loved since the day I saw it, and it keeps me technically active (my job is not the most stimulating)

Well for me ....

i just wrote a long post and lost the post as the hotel connection decided to pack up as i hit post so it got lost .... :sad: :sad: :sad:

So i will do a sort version ......

ALL OF IT !!!!!!!!!

OH and biggest motivation is ... Seeing my son Shane Crowned THE UK CHAMPION !!!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :lol: :lol: :lol: :roll: :roll: :roll: :) :) :)

For me (like most people) it gives me something to do, and im also living out a childhood dream.
I have loved robots since i was 3, and was the only thing i could talk about! (my teachers got a bit annoyed when i kept on answering Hypno-Disc to their questions :P)
And now that im in my teens, i often find myself bored, but thinking up new designs for robots, looking up parts and making them has become a hobby i absolutely love doing.
It also means i get to travel quite a bit - if i wasnt doing this then i probably would of never of gone to see an Air Tattoo in Fairford or even gone near Guildford!
Winning is nice but i just love driving my robots around and being able to entertain people with whatever i build (say Alejandro + swimming noodle for example :P)
I also love the fact i can express my creativity on my robots :P (you should all see what i have in mind for Teeth ;) lol)

for me its definately the buzz of live events, and the fact im meeting some great new people...and its given me an idea of what i can do when im older :D

just me thats the nerd then?

nooo mouldy is aswell....

Social side is a big ++++ as at events im quiet busy and dont get much chance to chat....

Entertaining the crow also a big ++++ as i like to see happy audiences and lets face it thats where the new bloods are potentially coming from ....

And being the best becoming No1 ....
