Yes we dropped our stuff (whilst forgetting a healthy amount of things too, like the robot's cradle, sigh) at the doors by the arena, then parked way off. It's fine, as long as you unload everything first time. :lol:

lol Good to know thanks
It's too easy for Beauty 2 if I was driving
sadly i cant make this event as im in Switzerland skiing at that time (shame huh :P), turned out we'd planned it on the worst time as first i couldn't make my silver d of e trip, and now im missing the champs :( i was doing huge upgrades for bruizer as well, i was even going to try and make it vaguely competitive :/ shame, i hope i can go to the yeovil event though, would want to go to at least one full combat event this year
Just got the ok to take the previous week and monday off work. Bring on the fighting! Gutted to miss the champs last year. Time to make up for it
What machine will you be bringing to the fight Gary?
Both boner and 540 will be there. I was unsure which to enter but I've decided to enter boner in the main competition (first year that it's been unseeded for quite some time!) and keep 540 for whiteboards and demos. Just in the process of working out what I will replace and upgrade on boner.
Think I'll probably leave the electronize and sell em if there is any interest. Get some botbitz controllers or a scorpion. Drum will stay the same. Worked well in every comp. Might swap out the fancy brushless esc for something a bit simpler (and cheaper!).
Probably the last time boner will be run in it's current configuration. After this comp it will be a whole new machine, bigger drum/beater and more deadly.
It looks like i can make it. Will sign up Massacre in the next few days.
How's that going Haz?
It's going okay i guess. As well as me building something complicated can be expected to go.
Over 3/4 full! If you havnt got your entries in please be quick. About 7 spaces left
After seing that ive signed up, now just need to build it :lol:
Argh! Tormenta 2 will be signed up, James, but whether a second machine will be taken for the competition or for whiteboards is still up in the air. It's a matter of cost right now and we can't know immediately what will happen.
Can I reserve 2 spots until the end of the day? Tormenta 2 and another robot. I don't want to bite the bullet with sign ups if making a machine ready for the main competition is beyond us.
Sorry to be a pain, would love to make it simple but time and money are doing their best to make things otherwise.
Massy is signed up ready for an arse kicking :P Hopefully i haven't cocked up the entry.
Just signed up NO TOY, just need to finish the lipo and armour upgrades.
here's to coming home in a bin bag! :mrgreen:
We are now full, big nipper team just filled e last spaces. Thank you all very much for your support. If anybody else would like to enter please email me and we will add you to the reserves list. I will be putting a form online for a reserve list and we will be announcing the entry list and seedlings very soon!
Good luck, can't wait for the event.
Are we included in the spaces, James? Will pay now if so.
Filled up quick this year... Get a list off all competitors online James so I know who I'm beating :)
wow that was fast, lucky i managed to get signed up then

:roll:
Assuming those two spots were briefly reserved, I have just signed up Tormenta 2 and another one.
Now we just have to build this other one. :wink:
Never known it to fill that fast!
How many robots?
40 places filled up in just five days? That's mental!
Looking forward to seeing the list; Drumroll's pretty much finished (just a couple of small bits and pieces left) so plenty of time to plan my attacks :proud:
That's 42 robots and 2 reserves! 2 uk champions almost missed out!
Entry list will be published soon with seeds. Thank you everyone for the support. For those who unfortunately missed it don't forget our 3 day event at fleet is right after!
Hi James, am I right to assume that the 10 seeds will be the top 10 from last year,if those drivers have signed up? And is it still the driver not the machine thats seeded as per previous years?
Last year not all 10 of the previous year's robots entered, so I guess some decisions had to be made. I'm assuming this would be based on Robot and Driver Skill.
I would have thought:
1. NST / Sam
2. Explosion / Me
3. Little Hitter / Grant
4. Cobalt / Kenny
5. Mini Mighty Mouse / Trevor
6. Ripoff / Wendy
7. Beauty 3 / Jonno
8. Drumroll / Jamie
9. Venom / James
10. 4 4 Toon / Clive
But I very much doubt that it'll be that as there is always some complication due to some robots not entering.
If i have got the time to come to the event... Ill be driving Beauty 2 this year :proud:
Got a busy year planned this year with events and build projects, im going to try!

Due to the over subscription of the UK Championship's we have now decided to run with 45 robot's in the competition. All spaces are filled and its looking like another great array of robot's :proud:
Thank you all for your support - we will let you know when the draw is going to take place!
(James and I will be going over and discussing the top 10 seed's from last years performance in a few weeks time). First I have a snowboarding holiday to go on :)
So what's everyone planning upgrade wise this year?
No upgrades for Explosion :uhoh:
Cicatrix now has electronics that don't catch fire and a scoop that gives enough ground clearance to let the wheels touch the ground.
EJr is a new build which is night and day compared to the old one.
The moral of the story here though really is that anything we enter is going to be more competitive than my cousins entry 2 years ago, I think the only robot he actually took points from was your Gary?
More Jack Daniels on the saturday night than last year :proud:
I'm planning on upgrading from 8th place to 1st 8)
Hopefully this time we won't need a bag to transport the robot after the comp. :lol:
Hopefully get better control on Tormenta 2's lifter, go LiPo, and beef the armour up a bit with the resulting weight freedom.
As for the second machine, it was going to be big and elaborate, but cost-wise it isn't possible this time. We're going to throw together a rambot, most likely, so that dad can have something to drive.
New build for the champs
Nice rammy spinny thing :lol:
