North Wales 28th / 29th April 2007
To get there by 9 Id have to leave tonight,the earliest trains I can get get me there at 10
Having last minute problems with HA; been countersinking the armour mounting holes, and now I cant get 2 of the screws back in!
Plus the chassis is rather warped as well, so I need to put in additional brackets, whicch, without the use of drill taps, is a pain.
Ill be there and fighting one way or another

Were out.
Just found out whilst loading the car that we have a couple of bits of robot missing. We leant our robot to a local engineering firm for a royal visit and the bottom polycarb/arolan have gone. I never thought to look for them until we needed them. f$%^*$$&- !£$%^
We have a room booked at the Travel Lodge for tonight tomorrow,cost £78 if anybody wants it. Any cash would be nice but we lose the money as its a saver room with no cancellations allowed.
Sorry James

Finaly got home at 10PM!... North Wales seems a hell of a long way from East Sussex!
A big well done has to go James and Co. for what, after one or two early problems, turned out to be a very good event. We were all very well looked after with what seemed to be an endless supply of rolls, sandwhiches, crisps & other snacks!(Never mind slightly overweight rebots, we were in real danger of ending up with some slightly overweight roboteers!!)
Well done to Pete Lale and Team Tilly for the outstanding team award, to Little Hitter for a well deserved victory in the feathers and (At the risk of being accused of blowing ones own trumpet) to Scorpion in the heavies!
So, James, when are you doing the next one??!! :wink:
