Is that wise? The bills likely to go up from the breakages. :)
no its ok, were using paper plates :)
Let us know as soon as you know the venue, transport is easier to plan in advance.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm paper plates.....
LOL!
Yep budget is to go up - with the missing of all the paper plates after shane eats them.

The link didnt work for me but I found the hotel using Multimap with the postcode CV8 2LN.
http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=print&X=430000&Y=270000&gride=43 0388&gridn=269744&scale=25000&coordsys=gb&pc=CV82L Nhttp://www.multimap.com/map/browse.c...000&gride=4303 88&gridn=269744&scale=25000&coordsys=gb&pc=CV82LN
The link Jonno provided wants cookies enabled, the multimap one works fine though thanks Richard.
Thanks Richard. :)
Jonno
Looks fairly easy to get to. Are you ordering food in advance or do we just figure it out when we get there?
Its a Sunday Calvary Lunch Buffee thingy.... just help yourself !
Jonno
Calvary or Carvery:)...might be a bit of a stampede if its the former!
Tom
oops lol
english isnt my strong point, ill stick to running events.
Calvary or Carvery...might be a bit of a stampede if its the former!
Was that a caVALry joke? :proud:
Calvary - wasnt that the hill with the crucifixes on in in all that religious stuff?
-- Kev
Actually I think it was a CalGary joke, the Calgary stampede being a very famous Canadian rodeo event.
Yes it was me getting my Calgary/Cavalry mixed up ..I must make a note..Dont try and do a funny when I have had a few beers:)
Tom
Can we watch Channel 5 there :)
World Championship afternoon !
Ed

who wants to watch the WC? not like theres anyone good in it :P
hmmmmmmmmmm
Mr Stu
:sad:
Still managed to miss most of it while I was there and even worse, when I got back home my Sister had been looking after the Dogs and Changed the Cable Channel so all I got was Eastenders.
Well at least it sounds like good news for the Tour.
Following on from the meeting :
Team revolution are 100% commited to attending every event with a 100% working machine, and spares to ensure in all but a rare case being able to compete as and when req.
We will provide our new Anti-Thor Device Mk2 at all events (re-usable) (realy cool by the way)
(can also be used to catch flipped washing machines - if someone wants to play net-ball)
We would like (if going ahead) Children of the Revolution as our intro-jingle if happening
(httr://http://www.vfemmes.com/fem_lyrics/chld_rev.htmlwww.vfemmes.com/fem_lyrics/chld_rev.html)
Totally commited to what I think is going to be an excellent tour.
Roger.
Ill echo what Roger is saying. It was a little hard to get anything positive heard over the doubting thomases at the meeting. For us the whole attraction of this series is the challenge of keeping a machine running over such a tight schedule. Its a tough format even for a little feather such as Bernard, but we firmly believe it is possible and are seriously tempted to build a heavy to address the challenge. It will simply load the odds towards endurance instead of out and out power IMHO. Please dont alter the proposed format, without the challenge of this tight full on combat schedule, our interest in the series is likely to wane.
We all have 6 months to address this problem by adjusting and modifying our machines, we all knew the format when we expressed our initial interest so why wimp out now?
We are in for a proper combat competition, a show/travelling circus is no fun in our eyes!!
regards
Tim Jones
I cant find anything about full on battle it says friendly comp i for one would rather have friendly and go to every event than to have one event and be put out and miss 2 or 3 events and this is not whimping out it is common sence but i think if you want a full on battle i am sure there will be other teams that will accomodate you. I dont want to start the same thread going on this one it as all been said before and if i remember right there are a lot of teams that think this way
I think what should happen then is what happened at Deb Robot Rumble last year, Sunday Drivers copetition and Main Competition. Have some sort of prize for both competitions, ok main competition prizes will be better due to full on combat. But the sunday drivers competition you can have a few rules and ban a few weapons to make it more enjoyable and know you can keep on playing with your hobby at all events.
For instance - Pussycat is a bit out dated to go against these new hammers and spinners and crushers, but were not gona do a razer and just do demos, we will still take part and have fun with flippers and pushers and give the crowd something enjoyable memorys for them to take away from the show.
Mr Stu
Erm Tim - a Full on Combat tour wasnt the proposed format ????
http://www.teamstorm.comhttp://www.teamstorm.com
Stu, dont you mean Main Competition then flippers and you :).
I would be disapointed if there wasnt a competion going on and agree mostly with Tim. If theres a show every 2 weeks for 3 months then they should run a competiton otherwise its just 6 show in a row, but we would still need the other fights to fill in the gaps in between. It would also encourage people to go to every event or they could lose points.
We personally dont have reliablitiy problems on the whole. Yes we do have things go wrong but we always carry as many spears as possible so we can fix most problems. Take Chip (not picking on you) they came all the way to Eniguity only to have a speed controller break on the first day and could not continue. We also broke a speed controller & Arial that day and replaced them in no time and continued without missing a single fight in the main competition
I think he means full competition at least thats what I mean. ie not asking your apponent to put holes in it, its just friendly. Of course the option to surrender should still be there if needed.
We also give our full support to the event and will be happy with what ever format is choosen.
We have a few tunes that you can choose from
Learn to Fly - Foo fighters
Bodies - Drowning Pool (or XXX film version)
Mute - Drowning Pool (doesnt really methion Mute much but still cool havin a song the same as the robot, I wonder which came first the robot or the song)
Adam
