We almost decided to hang on and postpone returning home to be able to go to this event, but it's some 10 days away, and we can't do it without being stressed about getting back.
Maybe next time.
Best of luck to everyone involved!

Tiberius is having a pirtek refit of hoses and a re bleed with new oil, new wheels so it doesnt get grounded and a sharpen of the tip, so it will be better than ever before! :twisted:
Well Kronic has just has Hardox lids fitted, i think/hope i've found the cause of the mis-firing/cutting out.
Just spotted Turbulence on the list, didn't realise it was back in the game. My money's on it 8)
Gonna have to finish up Flatulence now and bring it along for a photo.
Hi all,
I wonder how many robots on the list are on strict diets this week as I have been informed by Alan that the scales will be at the loading doors weighing all robots going in to the arena :rofl:
Not ripper !! :-)
what you arn't going to weigh it? :shock:Quote:

I have looked at all the other competitors, and our target for Team Saint this year is to get in the top20 :mrgreen: .................................................. .................................................. ..........Fingers crossed :proud:
Just realised this is next weekend and ive still not sorted hotel or anything :-\
better pull your finger out then :lol:
Me too....Air is in bits.
it is so nice not to have to go thought the stress right before the champs not rushing trying to lose weight (on the robot) and just wondering alan when is the draw taking place..

Hi Matthew
I reckon I can make 2 spare 24v packs of nicads, I'll bring them with me & you're more than welcome to borrow them if you need to
Titan was weighed at Maidstone - 113.75kg. She has been on a diet!!
Look forward to seeing everyone there
John
Cheers john
I dont expect to be needing them but if I do then will take you up on that :)
Sign Ups close midnight tonight! Make sure you have signed up!
if signups close tonight does that mean your posting the heats before the event ?
or just want to know the numbers.
It would be nice to do the draw before the event, if everybody is OK with that (maybe via webcam or something). If not we'll do it on the day. The format is set at the moment (unless we get a load of sign ups today), all will be revealed tomorrow on here and via the Roboteers email.
I wont know solidly till tomorrow if I can attend both days which makes things awkward
You can leave BB with us if you have to go away early :lol:
Nice try tony :lol:
I need a burkert for the champs..... Can anyone help please.
Sorted.
Ill only be attending saturday, ill still do my champ fights etc as a fights a fight but wont be going through
What's the format going to be then Alan ?
Everybody in one big melee, last man standing wins :lol:
Will send out the email later with all the info on.
Can I ask if people would rather have the draw on the day or, before the event via a webcam, probably tomorrow evening?
I know I'm not competing in the main event, but I vote for doing the draw beforehand. Allows for some tactic planning and trash talking in the run-up to proceedings :)
Everybody in one big melee, last man standing wins :lol: :lol:
I'll vote for that one :mrgreen:
Let's have fights with 6 or 7 robots in at once and the last two going get through.
Failing that lets have a boring draw :( :proud:
Webcam tomoz
Webcam, can figure out what to roughly expect
webcam sounds fun :D
what was the final sign up list ?
on the day
We'd prefer it on the day. It tends to add to the excitement and means that there isn't problems with the draw due to robots having to pull out last minute etc.
Should be done before so we can plan tactics ... Not just me who takes it seriously and plans tactics is it ??LOL

8x 3way first rounds, one winner, going into a 1v1 knock-out format. We'll be running a Tag Team competition on the Sunday for any of teams who are out of the main competition. Also whiteboards etc on the Sunday.
oh great so if i get through round 1, i then fight ripper in the 2nd fight as seed 1 and 8 fight are heat a and heat b.
need to remove 2.5kg of weight anyway so dont hold much hope to beat jonno. as i dont have much time im going to remove 2 packs of a123s instead, over xmas i can sort weight properely.
Get the angle grinder out, a few holes won't matter!
Cool, hadn't spotted that !!
Get to knock out toxic in the 2nd round, fancy another exit through the polycarb doors tezza? :rofl:
Then iron awe 5 in the semis again !!
Looking forward to it !! Ripper is being hopefully repaired ( not bodged ) today, will make sure I've got the big flip back.
Jonno
Of course all this talk doesn't matter - a swift pack of used bank-notes will ensure a win for you any time as the man with the microphone !
