Got an early start tomorrow, so may I take this opportunity to wish the best of luck to everyone going and here's to a great time had by all over the weekend :)
(I know I'll be with my amazing topless fleaweight...ooer...it's a design feature, honestly...)
(sorry for double post)
Just returned from this, I had a fantastic time and I appreciate everyone putting up with me wandering around and spending most of the first day being ill at people, sorry about that :P but there were some great battles and my ants did fairly well so it's all turned out good. Thanks to Alan and Mike &co. for putting it on and everyone else for being really nice, and congrats to the winners.

Just got back and got everything into the house.
Clive, Wendy, Alex and Lawrie did you see that lass in the car that had drove up onto that small wall on the exit of the service station between the exit road and petrol station? how the hell did she do that?
No, we must've missed that one Tom!
Thanks to everyone who put the event on, very well organised I thought. Not a great event in terms of success for me, but I still had fun, and now I get to build a new heavy (RIP Anger). Massive, huge thanks to Clive and Wendy and Alex for ferrying me around/putting up with me etc. etc.
Noooooo!! What happened to Anger??? :(
Big thanks to the RL crew a good weekend had by us all..Wendy appologises for snapping at two of you ( you know who you are) she feels really bad about it.Well done to all of the winners.
Thanks very much to all of my friends who convinced me to bring Stagefright out to play for the weekend.Was it a good idea? It sat on the bench for 2 days gloating as it watched: 1 x speed 900 die :shock: , 1 x 24 volt nicad pack self destruct in a cloud of smoke :shock: ( thanks John Bell, Pete Lale, Jonno and anyone elese that I have forgotten for your help), 1 x gearbox chew itself up in Tiny Toon :shock: , 1 x fuse blow in a dx6 :shock: , 1 x dx6 fall apart when dropped by Alex :shock: , 1 x wiring loom unsolder itself in 4 4 Toon :shock: . If you see this robot on a bench at an event, set up beside us at your own risk. :uhoh: This robot is evil. :twisted:
Or maybe Clive you just don't know what you're doing!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:Quote:

4 weeks and counting till the fun begins again !!
Thanks for a great event!
Well done to Iron Awe 5 and Little Hitter for winning the competitions
I'll try to get some videos online later on today.
Again a great day out playing with robots, Had lots of fun I was not feeling too good most of the day but could not miss the match with Big Nipper, brilliant win guys well deserved, looking forward to the video. Tron did not do much except trundle around the arena with no great desire to do much!
Many thanks to all at Robots Live for putting so much effort in organising such a well run and fun event. It was so good to see so many people there, we are looking forward to the next show.
I don€™t think I can make the show in 4 weeks time as family commitments make this difficult but hope to see you all soon. :D
Or maybe Clive you just don't know what you're doing!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:[/quote]
This from the man who has 4 heavies. 2 left at home, Dantomkia brought along as a static display and Hydra with only 1 weapon working. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Alex says thanks again though for his pressie it wont go to waste. :wink:
Thanks to everybody who attended we had some great fights over the weekend (anybody got a copy of the Merlin/Thor fight?). Well done to Iron Awe (AGAIN!!!!) for winner the heavies and Nipper for getting second, and for winning the feathers, although Little Hitter better watch out, Battleaxe has a long memory, upgrades are on the way!
Big thanks again to the crew for all their hard work, and cheers to John for lending us a couple of co2 bottles, luckly we didnt need them in the end. Thanks to the few that did donate towards the gas costs.
I need a week to recover! Then gear up for Burgess Hill in April.
Thanks Robots Live for a great event.
If anybody has got a video of the featherwieght final I would be grateful if they would put it on the forum.
Sorry Alan for the damage done to Battleaxe but I am sure if you hadnt have gone at Little Flipper with absolutely no provocation whatsover the way you did Graeme wouldnt have done the damage he did!
:lol: :rofl: :talker: :lol:
what damage.... what did it do ???
As for Little Flipper, i point to exhibit A: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjbZg_13Ocg at 2 mins. I told you it had a long memory! :)
I lost drive on one side, thought he had cracked a PCB on the speedo, but think its just a connector come off, not had time tohave a good look yet.

But..............but...................but........ .......that was all Stagefrights fault, i was using the laptop in the shed (while you were on line) to programm the roboteq and the bad luck just radiated out!!!! :proud:
Thinking about it, after all the work he's been doing on them, i can even use the other favourite excuse that it was Kenny's fault!! :rofl: :rofl:
its hammers bent aswell
Hi Clive, I brought the AR6000 to whitwick as planned but forgot all about when I got there :roll:

At least after two days looking at it we figured out what the problem was! (even though I didn't blow it up whilst wiring it I did programme the roboteq wrong :proud: )
Andy
has anyone got the video of the fight i was driving Tiberius in a whiteboard in the last show?
Which fight number was it you were driving in?
haven't a clue lol one before the final melee tiberious was in
Just looked the only Tiberious fight i filmed was the final melee. Sorry.
jus thought i'd show this, i took an old robot i didnt want to whitwick for tiberius to crush etc, and after wards i just thought oh yh its given it a squeeze and if i really wanted to i could propabily have a good go at repairing it, but i had a propper look at it earlier and its litterally been completly written off
apart from the obvious damage.....
[attachment=2:benhkqjd]BILD0076.JPG[/attachment:benhkqjd]
and here if you look at the furthest part of the robot from the camera- which is like a long rectangle, you can see whats left of the robot has been really distorted.........
[attachment=1:benhkqjd]BILD0077.JPG[/attachment:benhkqjd]
as well as that it now rocks like a see-saw
and here this pics to show tom, kenny and who ever else that my welds can be good. As you can clearly see the welds stayed intact and the metals been torn away- look from the bottom right and follow the box section up and the bit im on about is just below the middle of the picture
