In a lot of respects , I consider you rather lucky. My first match against Little Spinner 2 & one of Wil's launching machines - whirlwind I think. I unfortunately stopped 5 seconds in & was unable to do anything to prevent the damage to his machine, something I regret to this day BTW. Sorry!
Anyway, you're going to have better luck as tiny hurts is pretty much the only one with a really damaging weapon. Which means it's the only one to needs real armour. Talk to the team, they nay do you a favour & not destroy it.
Two things I have learnt in my time: Electrical screw down terminals can't take the forces & a roll out extension cable will probably be handy.
Need to finalise numbers this week so can you please make sure you've signed up http://www.robotslive.co.uk/signup2010.htm , last event until the UK Champs to test your machines.
9 days till the event and its all in bits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You think that bad, we took Disturbed to Barnsley and didn't finish building it until after the event :rofl:Quote:

Do I have to be a FRA member to enter the event?
Mr Robots Live
I wont be arriving until about 7:15 ish, teaching robots in bedford until 545pm.
If possible, id like to be in the comp, robot is gassed up and charged ready to just go straight into the arena... ive even tech checked it :proud:
So can Ripper be included in the draw but put in the show as late as possible.
If its not possible dont worry, I'll just do whiteboards.
Cheers
John
I'll put you in that last comp fight, so if your there you can go in, which will be 2nd or 3rd fight in the second half.
We ask that teams are members of the FRA, don't worry if your not currently, somebody might be there to take memberships.
Ta.
Did you get my text also.
John
i still need to adjust the wheels so that it will acually run if flipped over (might need some help with that if anyone is willing to give some) and i have had no driving practice, this will be interesting :lol:
that is pretty much my situation lol :lol:
Two antweight questions, are the lights enough in the antweight section or should I bring my stage lights tomorrow, and what time do you want us there?
No problem, sorted. yes and 10.
it was a good weekend, its a good base for a robot, but need a lot of upgrades :)
i need:
new 4mm steel body work and 4-5mm polycarb top and botton
new batteries (nimh or lipos)
new wheels
powerlight
after all that i think i will call it 'Spike The Avenger 2.0'
You forgot cut it in half!Quote:

Enjoyable event all round. Nice to see everybody again and met the most delightful people. Sorry for being such a pest.
Thanks very much to the RL guys for a great event, to everyone for being excellent company and tolerating me, and well done to Will for winning the heavyweights and the feathers! (I think - I could well be wrong on that since my head's still recovering ;P if so I apologise)
A most fantastic time had by myself and a lot of people seemed interested in the ants - it was good to see 13 Black and John at an event too :)
Thanks to Robots Live for a really good weekend!! We had a great time and actually won something with Maelstrom!!! :)
Also well done to Shane for driving Heatwave in the final and winning with that too!
Whirlwind finally started working again after a few events of being a bit rubbish- the flipper seemed much better than it has been with many robots flying :)
Also thanks to Ian and Mark for letting me have a go of Wierd mAlice- couldn't believe how nice it was to drive.
Thanks again and see you all at the O2!!
Nice weekend, well done Will.
Event highlights.
Bouncing across the arena 6ft in the air ( tell me someone got it on vid )
Throwing IA5 out
Throwing IA5 out
Throwing IA6 out

Please dont say see you at the O2 .... makes me scared of how close it is !!!
John

Cherub did better than at any other meeting and even won the last fight :uhoh:
Saint seemed really sick no power to it so I will be stripping that down this week to find out why :!:
Seraph should have won :x there is a conspiracy against anything that's not a flipper :proud:
Tron trundled around the arena and didn't bother anyone why do I bother with that one :?:
Really good fun loved the meal on Saturday night. Looking forward to the next one
Just wondering did anyone else see Joey attempt to jump the barrier and ended up taking
half of it with him :rofl:
Thanks to everyone who attended. Well done to Team Shock for taking the double (grrr :angry: ) There were some really good fights over the weekend, i think probably the Kronic/Ripper team Bud fight was one of the best fights i've had in ages, think it got recorded.
Thanks to all the crew for their usual great job and Zach & Adrian for helping out. The event had been going nice and smoothly until we went to load the Luton van, and the tail-lift motor had packed up!
Roll on Burgess Hill!
Thanks for another great event - we had a really good time. Some of the best fights for ages, iron awe and thor going at it, ripper and kronic, and the most spectacular flip iron awe 6 throwing itself out of the arena.
Congrats to Will for the double.
O2 next - new set of batteries and hopefully a ball valve!
Then off to Burgess Hill to try to repeat last year's success.
Thanks and well done robots live on another great event ....
i really enjoyed this one got to fight and chat and oh yeah repair the robot after playing with thor .... roll on the next event ..... :proud: :proud: :proud: :proud:
thanks guys for a really great event yet again..
best highlights had to be:-
Ripper flying through the air and sent itself flying again with a awesome selfrite. (someone must of got a vid of it)
Tilly still running fine after all the axe blows,
Iron awe's battery issue was quite dramatic though expensive for them!
skeltron...... still amazing to see it do its thing,
seeing 13 black and meeting the team.
Ripper vs Kronic best fight Ive seen in a while.
very well done to maelstrom!! want to hurry up and get raging reality finished now!!

I think that for height alone that flip is impressive but the one on the battlerat later in the fight was pretty fun too :)
