I hope so too :)
Hi Guys,
If anyone is thinking of booking their own hotel room, then I'm paying for the event rooms in the morning, to get a rate of £60 per room per night, I can add onto our booking in the morning and you can pay me..
email me..... if you do.
John
Just thought id be the first ....
The NEW TILLY XP is going to CREAM ENVY >>>>>>>
Peter...Dearest Peter....you have no idea, I have built a machine, not just a machine probably the most awsome machine you will ever have the fortune to lay your eyes on. It LOUD...FAST...Powerful...if there was a tune to put to Envy it would be Bad To The Bone. Your Silly XP would play to the elephant march. Just make sure your robot is underweight because its you that has to lift it from the floor when the Awsome Might of Envy gracefully Puts it out of the arena with EASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
now thats fighting talk swanny ;)
well Merlins just having a service, and a new arm so i'm gonna have you both :kiss: Altough squeezing Kronics ram in Merlin has been a struggle :rofl: :wink:
Kronic ram + Merlin body = One hell of a good robot! :)Quote:

** Update **
Hi Guys,
The event at the O2 is going to completely change the way we do things, we are going to back to the €œ good old days €œ with loading pens, driving into and out of the arena ( where possible if you have wheels left on your robot ), to hopefully speed things up inbetween the fights.
With the new format it is envisaged that we are trying to remove the 10 minute wait while robots are disarmed, taken out, new ones in, armed up etc€¦.
We want to provide the audience with a constant flow of fights, and more value for their money, but we need your help with this.
Trying to fit in the UK champs and provide this new level of Entertainment has been hard, we all want 1v1 fights, but they just arent entertaining for an audience. however I think we have found a balance. I will go into more detail about each show nearer the time, but here€™s a quick summary of how it will work.
Every individual show at the O2 will end with a final, with a trophy being fought for, this will be separate to any UK champ fights.
We will be planning for every robot to be available to fight in every show, be it for a comp fight, or a white board. ( subject to still working )
9 pods of 4 fight in the arena in the first round in a 4way fight.
The winner of the fight will go through to the next round.
The second place will be put into the looser melees.
The 9 losers will be split into 3 x 3way fights with the winner from each fight going back into the competition. ( 3 back in )
We now have 12 robots through to the next round in total.
3 x 4 way fights again, with the winner and second going through, and the 3rd and 4th place going into looser fights.
2 x 3 way looser fight with one winner from each going back into the competition.
We now have 8 robots left.
Quarter finals 1v1 x 4
Semi finals 1v1 x 2
Third place 1v1
Final 1v1
Go home
Sleep

Should be good though, good luck to all :)
Makes a change .....
Normally we get 2 iron awes in the first round ......
Looks like its me and you Jethro! Who's driving Stinger? Fight 7 will be a good one.
Comp Fights ( the driver of stinger ) ME.....
so ill be all over you like a rash alan ,,,
Pete..
petes driving stinger !!!
I think Thor has the hardest fight !!!
Envy has lost, so he'll be in the whiteboards !! Im going through the looser mellee like normal !!
There's a cream for that you know Pete :)
Some good looking fights looking forward to it even more now that the draw is done.Pod 2 and pod 7 look interesting.Glad we arnt in those 2 :crazy:
Any money on Batterbot to win pod 2 with Ripper,Thz and Envy taking each other out? :lol:
ill have a tenner !!! batter bot to win !!
ill go with that out come too :)
yeah because your driving it !!!!
well glad to see captain obvious has joined the forum :proud:
Looks like quite a nice draw for Maelstrom this time- at least it will still be in one piece after round 1 even if i doesn't win :lol:
An interesting draw for Disc-struction too since it has both Tilly machines in its pod
Should be a good competition though!
Pod 7 ? Problem.... bovvered ?
Bring it on boys, bring it on !
Here's my reaction - :D
Not much chance of winning, but a fair bit of chance of still having a robot at the end of it. Always wanted to fight Mantis too!
Can't wait!
Does the inclusion of Disctruction mean we will be running HW spinners ?
not this year i dont think.........
John
i was thinking the same thing, would be nice to see some HW spinners back but it might be a while yet, they were able to run once, they will be able to run again..... eventually :lol:Quote:

A few people on the antweight forum are asking about FRA membership and whether it'll be possible to pay for it on the day. Also there's questions about filming the fights. Will we be allowed to Jonno? Not sure if it's different if you have a film crew attending. Thought I'd ask on here and pass on the reply, instead of speculating. Thanks!
FRA membership can be paid for on the day, but it would be most helpful if those who haven't already join for 2011 could do so via post or email before the event. That way we can have your membership cards ready and don't need to process it all on the day (because there will be plenty to do as it is).
Cool, thats what I thought. Thanks Kane.
What are the rules for the weightlimit for the old robots?
I think the earthquake in Japan influenced the earth gravity and TAN is now 99.75kg without the 2kg CO2 :?
I have a better weiging scale that sais it weighs only 93,5kg, but i have my doubts about it.
