Hi Guys,
Just a quick note to say well done to the winners, and thanks for another great round to the tour.
Not long now until the final.
Bits and bobs will be updated this week, including confirmation of the finalists and details for folkestone.
Might be a bit of a delay as I have a full week with my schools. But ill do my best.

Well..... Pillow was sent to bed without supper for misbehaving but at least she did enough to qualify. Never mind, its all sorted now and were fully fit for Folkestone. Mind you, Geoff narrowly espcaped being put in the doghouse for shoving in a new vantec and thinking everything would be OK (LOL- hysterically)
Had loads of fun though and apologise to Gilbert for not bring my bear behind on this occasion :wink:
Got some pics up at http://www.teammad.co.ukwww.teammad.co.uk - plus the rest of the winter tour.
David, did you film the melee in the first session that Ka-Pow! was in? I missed most of it trying to concentrate on driving. Still ended up stuck on the pit...
Great event- Id forgotten how loud they are indoors- and some excellent fights. Ka-Pow! continues to improve. Now if we can just stop the arm from bending...
John, that armbending is the reason I did think about the Gravity setup.... It works nicely I must admit.
Yep, its a good solution to the problem, although theres still practical issues implementing the tethering/ retarding ropes and it doesnt give a powered retract, which we prefer. In practice the flipper is really too powerful when run flat out at 30 bar- if it got right under an opponant I think it would get them worryingly close to the lighting rig in the RR arena. In practice I expect well do a combination of things; shorten the arm slightly, experiment with ropes or straps and turn down to 15-20 bar or so.
