This is why the featherweight trophy isnt under way quite yet dave as it needs more attention, and 1 of them is just that what you say. I will try and work something out for you featherweight guys shortly. Glad your interested tho mate :)

just make it so either the spinner isnt allowed to use its weapon but still fights at the normal event or has someone stand in for him / gives it to sombody else to defend.
Congratulations to Will with Maelstrom, really pleased for you mate, a worthy winner of the first battle. :D :D
any1 got the video?
Great to finally get the challenge underway and be the first to win it, just watched the fight back and it was pretty close until Beast drove into the pit.
Thanks to Swanny for a great trophy, we'll do our best to defend it a Nottingham!
Video should be online shortly.
Heres the video

Nice video :)
Can i ask why did the pit go down any way when no one hit it ? as the 2 bots were fighting on it its not as if LJ drove down realy
and yes its an official complaint!!!
over to our Juge Swanny
Was wondering that myself actually when watching it the first time. Just rewatched it and it's hard to see because the camera is off to the left slightly but I can only assume Maelstrom drove or got nudged into the pit release tyre??
we flipped them to corner and they were no where near another video i will watch ok
but it realy is down to the judge Swanny as its his Trophy!!!!
there were other people filming so will prob be able to see on another video
but still seems that will was like a meter away from the pit button even when we flipped him against the side
pit button should be other side of the arena anyway or have a few seconds for when the pit goes down to stop things like this happening....
My thoughts too.....has anyone got another vid with a different angle. cant make any judgement until we can see it properly.
Memory might be playing tricks on me but I thought that Will drove into the pit release before LJ had him in the corner.But there again I am getting old. :uhoh:
Maelstrom did hit the pit release 51 seconds into that video. It should be clear from another angle.
nice try Learo !!!
Cheaters never prosper.
:rofl:
ha i told him will prob did nudge the button.
pit button shouldnt be that close to pit anyway
i am prepared to wait for another video but I dont think so!!!
Well done to Will for getting the trophy, glad we managed to squeeze it into the show, also the 'Challenge' from Iron Awe, did remind me a little bit of RW Extreme!
Maelstrom did hit the pit button about 50 seconds in, i remember confirming with Adam at the time. If you don't want to go down the pit, dont go near it!
@49 secons beast flips Maelstrom and 52 seconds pits down
I want to see it from another agle sorry befor i admit defeat !!
The pit release button was knocked there in a previous fight! From what I remember the release button was pressed by Maelstrom after being flipped by Beast. It was very hard luck for team Beast for the pit going down when they were so close. But that€™s life.

This is a still from my video. It's not the best of angles but in the video it does show Maeltsrom heading in the right direction. I'll get someone to post it on youtube for me.

Looks like maelstrom hit the button to me Learo.
With that settled can we now continue with challengers please. :)
The only challenge so far is Tilly so if you fancy your chances against Maelstrom then get posting.
LOL sorry still not convinced.
the pit button was half way between the sides as it was knocked off in an early fight as i know of
but may say its too close a call :(
ye same , that vid looks like Maelstrom only hit the side causing the pit button to shake from the impact
we will never know as there wont be another camera angle i dont think
cant remember the button being that close to the pit, but i dont know why its so close anyway if it is
Maelstrom did hit the pit release button, i was operating the pit for that fight and i have no doubt about it. The button is normally abit further up, but must of got knocked in an earlier fight. If it bothers you that much why didn't you say anything during/after the fight, you were standing at the side of me?
as after the flight we didnt see the first video where you cant make out if will did touch it or not so we then asked and still you cant tell with this second video but he prob did ye
as long as it wasnt in the uk champs i aint bothered
pit button should be other side of that wall anyway
lol bad looser and a bad winner. :)
cnt wait to beat 360 at uk champs actually if u make it to the final :) :lol:
noticed the heavyweight uk champion is missing from your sig :P
remember currently its;
360-2 - beauty-0
bring it :evil:
Its gunna be 360 and Savage in the final at uk champs so only way you will get to fight each other is if your drawn against each other in an earlier fight.
Then it will go to 360 -3 - Beauty -0. Its the year of the spinner, im just sayin.
What if the trophy holder cant compete in its fight? Say it doesnt show up to an event or is broke and cant be repaired intime for its fight (in both heavyweight and featherweight) Does the challenger just win the trophy and not have to fight or will there still be a fight and have a second challenger and the winner out of the two challengers take the trophy?
Thank god you said this now. If I know I'm not gonna be in the final, I won't bother spending money building a new machine :lol:Quote:

So Mr Swann
Who is fighting Malestrum for the Nut at Nott's ???????
.......Pete.....
I'll speak to Sam but i'm sure Tiberious will be up for it!
if its that bigger deal then replay Maels Beast or put Beast in a play off with who ever the next challenger is, ladder style
1 chance should be all you get :)
I think that you had to lodge your challenge for Nottingham on this thread by last friday to be considered,but I might be wrong.
Thats right Clive i did say that but really should have left it longer as lots of people dont get on the forum much.
After Notts i will leave it till a couple of days before the event.
For Notts Tilly will have a crack at the trophy.
Maelstrom will take on Tilly Evo at Nottingham for the Teambud Challenge Trohpy. Good luck to both robots.
So there is plenty of notice this time. can challengers please post for their challenge at burgess hill robots live event.
Challenger will fight Either Maelstrom or Tilly. Also gives me plenty of time to get the stickers done for the trohpy.
