stu i have an excellent idea. at the next event you must dig out the old beastie boys sabotage record and play it. how very dare a spineless, wicked, evil, jealous person or persons do such a thing. i really hope i never find out who it was.
Nah, I would like to know. I want to know who I can and cant trust. I know there are people who have had issues in the past, and I admit to being one of them, but I think that trying to sabotage an event is taking it a step too far. Most people have no problem with a bit of constructive criticism and of banter but there needs to be a line, and whoever did this has well and truly crossed it.
I doubt you will find out who it was. He or she will deny it anyway.
I have a feeling that if it was sabotage then the issue will probably go legal so I doubt we will hear anything more from Jonno or the other guys.
True
can someone at least they what they did?
Adrian,
It is a matter for Roaming Robots and not something that needs to be discussed on a public forum.

Guys,
Although we may know, or think we know who did it, this is not something I am prepared to put on a public forum.
As always with these things they did it anonymously, and so we have no proof either way. Very clever once again, but eventually they will slip up !!
I didn€™t mention it to apportion blame, or to start rumours as to who did or didn€™t do it€¦. I was just simply explaining why things didn€™t go to plan at magna, and why I was walking round like a zombie and didn€™t really get to speak to anyone, let alone thank them for coming.
Over the last 4 years I€™ve done my upmost to keep our sport and hobby alive, and the fact that someone felt they needed to try and close our show down simply disgusts me.
Saying that, they failed, mainly because we are up to speed with paper work, and also, because I was able to highlight the FRA, where the rules and regulations are downloadable that we follow. Why do we need an FRA, and why do Roaming Robots fully support it€¦€¦. This has proven the point, and anyone who disagrees is very foolish and would potentially have been sitting in a big hall with their robot alone !!!
We live and learn, and then move on !!!
Looking forward to my holiday, and then bouncing back with some VERY exciting news coming soon, and Colchester !

Roaming Robots
i have to wonder if certain people blamed us, as we were clearly a target of some revenge attempt ourselves.
Thankfully Jonno is in agreement that his troubles are nothing to do with me or the edgehog team, so it was a pointless exercise.
This sport is suddenly showing itself to be very hateful at times.
Its terrible to think what people will do. ive seen it myself before and unfortunatly you have to keep your eyes open. At the end of the day, the truth allways comes out and the only people hurt are the ones that caused it. Looking forward to the next event well done guys.
ok ok guys i admit it. it was me. i am sorry i tried to sabotage the event but i had very strong feelings regarding the carpet issues. therefor wearing slippers to the event failed to stop the event from going ahead. i will have to buy some really outragous slippers for the next event mabee that will do the job :)
Oh shame on you!
If you are coming to Colchester at Easter may I suggest these :)

Guys,
I want to see the video of the fight between Tiberious v Merlin v Edgehog please..... The unedited version, that was on you-tube that has been removed.

Cant believe they removed it. Probably the amount of filth coming from Mr Moulds lol
well i heard about it, but would like to see it, and hear it !!
John
Nah just kidding (about the filth). They probably didnt want to be associated with all the bad driving :)
Ive got lots of Pics from the Magna event but Ill have to wait a while to send them because I have no internet at home (using the local librarys PC as I type), got a pic of nearly every bot at the event, and some battle pics, and also a pair of pics of the holes in Edge-Hog (I think a lot of people got those pics :P)
Hope thats all welded up for the next one James
Yes there were a few holes. it made an exciting battle to watch. Does anybody know what damage was caused other than the holes and a popped tyre?
After the fight we took a look at the damage. All that I could see was a popped tyre, although James Baker said that the chain on the or side had also come off. Apart from that it could be bashed back out with a hammer in minutes. We were assured that there was no further damage, and the axe was still firing untill cease was called. A very good battle to watch!
I reckon Tanto pitting Tiberious was better, i even had time to close the arena flipper back for Stu and then run Tiberious round the arena and dump you in the pit, go Tanto
if the youtube vid had not been taken down (why was that exactly?) then we could all watch the exciting battle
stop playing games lads.
damage report ill keep to myself thanks.
anyone got a video of Tanto vs Tiberious
