Many thanks to all involved in the Robot Rumble
I won a competition fight! Plus I nearly won the next round unbelievable. :rofl: :rofl:
It was great to see so many there, Hope everyone had as much fun as team Saint. See you at Swindon. :D
Thanks to everyone for a great weekend, we really enjoyed it!
Well done to the winners (Iron Awe 5 and Explosion)
Thanks to everyone that helped us out over the weekend with repairing Maelstrom (we found some alternative ways of flattening the flippers after THZ had a good go at them)
Also thanks to Craig for letting me have a drive of the Saint- it was great to drive!
Well done to Iron Awe 5 and a special well done to Explosion for their win in the FW competition. Your OOTA of Pillow Torque with 11 seconds to go is your long overdue revenge for me OOTA'ing Invasion on the call of 'cease' way back in 2006 at Worcester :lol: Good fight for me because I managed to knock 6 bells out of Skink and Barbaric Bruce before I went all or nothing for the win - ended up with nothing but HEY that's robots for you :D
Good event. Got drunk. Got lost. Got Robbed.
On a lighter note watch this..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=476AZhNl ... annel_page
Missed all the robots hit the floor this is how high The Saint Bounced :proud: :proud:

Made it myself :D
Hi guys,
Well congrats to Iron Awe.... or ( Thor )... both deserved it really !! Was a good event.
Arena went up smoothly, event ran smoothly, arena came down smoothly !! Just for a change !!
Major damage didnt have such a good event, suffering all the way through with a cracked insert in one of the sprockets leading to problems !! Well the drive train is about 3 years old now and has done a fair few fights !!
The Uk champs has certainly livened things up a bit, there were some fantastic close fights and too many heavy and feather weights in some ways!!!
A message from Geoff Thorpe.
Thankyou, the the Roboteers for attending our show, I'm very please to see the number that turned up,
should be back at Brentwood next year, Sorry about the catering that will be sorted. Rex Garrod will not be judging but has agreed to still make the trophies but will be there with his bits & pieces on a table in the merchandising area.
I was sorry not able to thank the roboters and say goodbye at the end as I was unnecessary detained by the Brentwood staff over a minor problem. Any comments good & bad please via our contact details on our web site http://www.ukrobotwars.com
This was up there with the best of our shows, so much so we've had a few emails.. here's two of them.
Dear Roaming Robots
I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thank you. My husband and son, aged 9, came along to the show on Sunday and absolutely loved it.
Charlie, my son, got into Robot Wars just prior to it being stopped on TV so when at the last minute we heard about your show he got so excited.
Upon returning home he was full of excitment telling me about the set up, the robots and the events.
Later that evening we then enjoyed watching the DVD of the 2008 show.
Thank you to everyone who helps organise such an event and just to let you know that you made a 9 year old boy very happy.
Thank you.
hi john.

Thanks to Jonno & all the crew for this great event. There were some real good battles. This Championship is definately increasing the desire to win and I think is working well to give an atmosphere like a UK champs each event.
Only thing i can thin of is maybe having some more FW fights over the 2 days, rather than just the 4.
But appart from that great event!
:D
