Thanks to everybody for making this happen. Some of you worked really hard and it showed.
And I am of the firm opinion that Tanglefoot should have a prize for Bravery Shown In The Face Of Overwhelming Adversary.
Hopefully I get my pics up this week. Will let you know when it happens. Have to recover from a cold first. Throat-ache is killing me.
As much as I enjoyed the event (and I really did enjoy the event), there were some issues I had with it. I have put these in a report to the FRA. Please note that I am not attacking roaming robots or question their commitment and dedication to the sport. There were just some issues I feel that needed adressing.
oh i forgot to mention about our new 2007 Annihilator Champion, Tilly Ewe2 !!
A fast and furious competition, with some brillint fights, unlucky for Jason that he drove down the pit !!! I didnt see it, but ive been told all about it ! Well done shane its about time!! :-)

Hi everyone, I just wanted to say what a fantastic time myself and my family had at this event. I was an honour to take part with such a great bunch of people. I learned loads from it and I will be re-designing tanglefoot with a much stronger drive system so we will be back.
Thanks also John Bell for all the help and advice he gave me. I was really proud to get the prize for the most improved robot. I will certanly be using it and building a featherweight. We have certanly got the bug now and just want to come back for more. Will keep you all posted on the forum of our progress and no doubt I will be nagging you all for more advice. Thanks again for all the help and for making us feel welcome. Best wishes Chris (Teamtanglefoot)
well done to the champs
well done to everyone who took part it was a great event. can i just say to Rob that if i ever get my hands on it my dads welder will become non existant.:lol:
we may have come 4th and after the battering from terrorhurtz where we drove out of the arena i believe my robot has lost some weight as it is now about an inch thinner and to gas it up i may just have to put the whole robot on the scales due to the fact the flipper doesnt go up enough to allow the gas bottle out, thanks John team terrorhurtz it was a great battle and next time the outcome may be different.. but lets just say my dad has a lot of work to do.:lol:
thanks to everyone who took part though it was wonderful and i had loads of fun hope the next UKs are this good.
