Got back at 5am this morning. Sorry I had to leave right after the last show and didnt get a chance to say goodbye to everyone.
Fantastic event. Well done to the RR crew for putting on the event and congrats to all the winners. Some exceptionally tough well fought battles.
Craig to answer your questions, Turbs drive stopped working due to a loose connection somewhere in the bot and ripper was beaten by Thz.

gary, how did you get on with your new hw? did you take it?
28 - 31 August, Fighting Robots UK Championships 2007
Yeah I took it along. Sadly I had speed controller problems.
I had 24V going into the speedos but the motors were only seeing 10V. I was still able to push other bots around but the motors were drawing much larger currents and killed my hawkers much quicker. Trying to figure out why at the moment.
Got a lot of work to do on the heavyweight but I am hopeful that in around 6months it will be back in a fully fighting condition with an active weapon.

well back now I must say a big thanx to Roaming Robots for putting on a faultless championship.
big thanx to Sam for putting a hole in me bosch motor and blowing yet another roboteq,
well done to bignipper (NOT) for knocking me out,
thanx to all that helped me get Beast working again and to all the others that won.
ps and a big thanx to the person who has stolen me Spectrum Transmitter, if any one did pick it up by mistake i would like it back in the next two weeks.
I also did not know how hard it was to take an Areana down (do now)
oh well always next year !!

John, Can you remember which number your transmitter had? Chances are the sticker will still be on it if someone picked it up.
