yep, and ive booked 20 beds in the team dragon house.... do you remember tony ???
I now have the pnumatics, and work begins this weekend on the arena flipper.
Hope you have booked your flying lessons?? :)
Great looking list of robots for this event.
i want a rematch against knightmare :)
no problem, should have the buffers in for Magna as well.
:)
should have new ram in then cough 100mm bore :)
Sorry to say this peeps but I dont think B.I.O. (Bring It On) is going to be ready for the event as it is still a pile of parts and the weather is not fit enough for me to work on it even in my gloves, coat and bobble hat because trust me ive tried already.

You need a shed :)
Shame, but please bring the POP (pile o parts) so we can kinda imagine how it wouldve looked...
Ah thats the thing we do have a fairly large nice warm and dry shed but its recently changed for a mini bot workshop into a storage unit for old furniture, lawnmowers, bikes and other various bits of crap that we have run out of space for. And they all seemed to magically appear overnight as well.
Oh and its really not worth bringing the pile of parts its not really an exciting project.

seeing as everybody else is having grudge matches, Merlin wants one with Big Nipper and Mute for a rematch of the last sheffield final! You might be able to get out of the pit but you wont get back in after going OOTA :)
LOL!!!!!
Email going out tomorrow night with show running details. If you dont get it by Weds - let us know. Looks like main competion battles for the RR UK Championship taking place on Saturday Night, then u can arrange all your grudge matches on Sunday - Plenty of time.
Was that Mute AND Big Nipper VS Merlin?? 2v1? Ok sorted!
Mr Stu
Not a problem Alan, but can we have that ram back first :)
You gonna put the whole video of this one on your site Alan? Lol :)
that depends :)
James, we just ran out of webspace last year, couldnt fit the whole video on the net.
I did put our video on the net. Just checked and its still there, all 500MB of it. Not been updated for a long long time.

Ok, the news gets worse as not only is B.I.O not attending the event but Conundrum Mk1 is not going to be running, as we require its batteries after a couple of places are waiting for cells. So we have had to pull the x2 12v 3000mAh NiCad packs out of Conundrum Mk1 to put in Conundrum Mk2 to get that running for the event, and im not a happy bunny.

Chris, Try http://www.overlander.co.ukhttp://www.overlander.co.uk every pack of batteries weve ordered has arrived within 2 days and usually next day, got some for Little Flipper this week.
Guys,
I Fired the new arena flipper yesterday for the first time.... Scarey :)
I need two volunteers. a heavy weight and a feather weight which will be coming early ish on saturday to be the first guinee pig.
I need to test it with no public to see where robots end up.
Any takers...... plllleeeeaaaassseeee :)
JOhn
Roaming Robots
Jonno, Ill volunteer Pillow Torque for your test. We should be there fairly early.
Jenny
we will need to run our heavys before the show, so you can use one of the them.
...hold on why dont you just use your own robot????? :)
cause hes not daft!
RobotS!!!!!!!!! Remember there a FW one as well :)
What the heck! Just put Stu on it :proud:
Youre now PFM (Practice Flying Manoeuvres)
If team MADs test flight is unsucessful you can always test it on ours.
ftp site doesnt seem to work threw IE.
Error 421 - Too many users connected
Unsuccessful? Are you expecting something to happen like the 1st test flight of Ariane 5? Mind you Im expecting to see PT come down with snow on it :)
I know what we can do - put about 3 Feather Weights in their, and 3 heavy weights, close the arena doors, turn them on, close the poyl doors, then all the robots can form a line and test on the arena flipper. New way of travel, line up, drive on, bang. Coz we will need to test the arena flipper at differnt areas on the flipper it self. A feather on the top of the flipper will go upwards etc.. Hehe.
Mr Stu
