Entered with a new robot.
Didn't know of another Catharsis, it's been the name of my "One day i'll build it" FW since about 4 years..Quote:

Top 10 in 2010 and 2014
Top 18 in 2013
Annihilator winner 2012
MMM 12 winner
If that doesn't make the cut, I quit.
My achievement list consists of "turning up", I think you'll be fine Dave! :)
Well Binky and Conker 3 are now in the hat. With their improved weapons and past performances I think they have a good chance.
Anubis is Registered! :D
Signed up with the new Robob! fingers crossed on getting through.
Loki 2 signed up :D
I've given it a lot of thought, and decided I won't be entering this year. It's just not the sport I fell in love with anymore and I don't know how much longer I can keep ploughing money into something I no longer enjoy.
Attachment 5109
NAAAAAAAAAAAT!
Drumroll II and Reaver registered :D
Git!!!
Also, Mr Mangle is registered, perhaps we will actually get a match next year.
Glad to see you're coming Nick, the pit has been a bit empty since you went home :p
Trash talking so early? Let's be fair - Mr Mangle went over the arena wall almost as often as into the pit :). Next year will be different; with a better egg beater and an ESC that is actually programmed to spin it up, I plan to fill the pit with pieces of other bots so I can just drive right over the top of it!
Let the smack talk begin…
What you on about Chris? Nick did awesome last year… just read his event report haha…
Seriously though… 722's gona basically walk through 2015…even on one wheel… not sure why anybody else is bothering.
Alex… you could have mentioned your robot was designed for you by just about everybody, then tweaked and made pants by you, then built by other people and got owned by a half busted flipper in your application?
Anybody wanna buy Rango lol?
see… wise man there just giving up ^
I can see where this is headed - its everyone VS Mouldy next April.
If we can fit all working FW's in the arena on the last day, that would be a fight to see!
Jokes on you lot… my robots are normally broken/on fire by then :D
Another drum off is needed though…
Just wait until 'legion' flexes its flipper :) I'll pitch in with you Dave #tagteam
As long as there is a trophy involved...
For furthest traveled/most expensive/worst robot? Ill vote for you buddy :P haha
I was thinking about the trophy someone (not you) will collect in that drum-off. Now go open some Christmas presents - the lump of coal is from me.
No trophy, just get to keep what you rip off the other robots.
well… so long as beauty doesn't win who cares
Thanks Dave í ½í¸„ I'm sure it's going to be hard who's picks 4th place as I'm going for the triple this time í ½í¸„
Whoever beats the Beauty machines has to be fast about it, no time to hang around.
Because the foreign competitors are an unknown really, who is likely to make the final 10 out of the robots we think should be in this event ? Nice to get some speculation going.
Just a quick fair warning, do NOT overestimate me...
I'm going to say the top 10 could be (in no particular order):
Beauty 8
Hanibalito 3
Mr Mangles
Explosion
722
Tiny Toon
Rango
One if the Nipper's robots
Last 2 could be anyone's guess.
Oii dave i was in the top 10 last year! Beat mr mangle and 720!... no contest
With respect Calum, your robot requires a rebuild now and any new build has the potential of teething troubles, and as such couldn't say you'd get back into the top 10.
TS3 did very well and gave me quite a surprise. On the other hand, my weapon will actually work as advertised next year so the results may be different. I hope you get TS3 rebuilt and improved for next year so we can have more matches.
Quick rule question:
I am looking at mounting a GoPro type camera to the top of Mr Mangle. Its sure to put the total weight over the limit by 200 grams or more - is it possible to get a special dispensation for the camera as long as the bot passes the weigh-in without the camera?
That's a neat idea Dave, let's see...Quote:

I want Flow to be in there but I just don't think it'll happen :P
722 - new
Far as i no new mr mangle......
Nick it wudda been good but im not entering ts3 next year! Something different planned :) :)
Ah, I wasn't sure if 722 was just a new chassis or not, Mr Mangle, I assume it was just working out bugs from the old one
722 is a totally new and improved version of 720. Dave has ironed out many of the small flaws in 720 and changed the exterior armour for this sloped arrangement. 722 gets the titanium drum from 720 and 720 gets its old aluminium drum back.
Same frame, drive motors, battery, and most other parts. New beater, new (and MUCH better!) weapon ESC and maybe new weapon motor depending on testing between now and April. At the last championships, I stuffed up the ESC programming so that the beater hardly spun up, an embarrassing newbie mistake. Apart from that, Mr Mangle needed absolutely zero repairs between matches.Quote:
