North Wales 28th / 29th April 2007

Echo to what Geoff said - a great event. For our first proper combat event, it didnt go too badly. We had intermittent electrical problems with all three bots throughout the weekend but managed to keep them going for the final melee at the end.

Congrats to Little Hitter for winning the feather award and for proving to me that 2mm ali chequer plate isnt strong enough to take axe blows and not deform (had an inkling that might happen, but strongly hoped it wouldnt :)). And well done to Scorpion too for taking the heavyweight prize.

Many thanks to James Baker for putting on the event (and at a location that was reasonbly near for us :)) Hope youre able to put on another one sometime in the future.

Also to quickly thank Shane for the stainless and ali bits you gave me for free - most likely to be used to remake Kaizers chassis (along with some HDPE, which, after seeing it on Hells Angel and seeing how cheap it is, is my new favourite material :crazy:)

Pics and videos online hopefully later on tonight

Well done James,

A few problems at the start granted, but welcome to world of events once again !!!

Turned out to be a successfull event in the end, it was nice just being a roboteer for a change although was just as tied when i got home.... probably mostly due to the miles id driven and the party on the saturday night.

Congratulations on raising as much money for the new school roof :)

Hi all.

Good event james, shame I missed that final melee. The Problem: a loose wire, came out of the terminal block. Bugger.

Thanks for sorting out lifts to my accom. and to Wrexam station, really appreciated it.

Geoff: you got home at 10, I got in my front door at 10:30. God I hate public transport :P

Anyone got any vids from the second day at all, particularly the featherweight melee at the end?

My teammates got footage but its gonna be two weeks before I can get it off him and Im putting together a compilation vid jst now, and Im too impatient to hold off for two weeks :)

Any stuff would be appreciated
Cheers
