See you all 2morrow!
Matt
Morning All!
Let The Wars Begin!
Oh, and thanks for that Liam, but me and my family are such common visitors to RRs shows that in the 1st show - 2nd show break, Angela lets us stay behind, and i get to go backstage!
Say, if ur going to RAF Fairford next year to enter, thenll see ya there!
Infact, David let me in!
And take controll of Satanix in one of the White-board fights! (Thanks!)
Great event all!
Glad you enjoyed yourself matt. It was an awsome event.ill get a pic on my profile of Anxious and hooligan of after there battles at the event. hardly any damage to any of my bots. 1 bust LED was all that i had to fix.
Morning Guys,
Well 1 more event to go, thankyou for all who attended and especially the ones who helped.
A big thankyou to Jenny, who had to stand in as compare at the last minute. This show was done under hard personal circumstances, of which the inevitable has now happened :sad:
I know things wernt the most organised this weekend, however dont worry we will be finishing the 2008 Tour of in style at Maidstone !!! :)
There were some fantastic fights and the final is set to be a corker !.
John
We where next to you bench wise wasnt we Tom?
Best bit, Weird Alice crashing through the cage!
good event apart from snapping a battery pack, snapping the wires from the linear actuator and deforming the armour...
arena flipper 3 times Mr Stu!!!!????
yeh thats a new one the light fitting flying through the air
Was that your bot that was on fire ??
I heard the warning sound and pte grabbing a robot and running outside with it, but I didnt see which one
No Dave, that was Cylon that caught fire. Seems to have burnt out a motor.
Andy
That was Cylon on fire.
Does it always do that, andy?
It would be rather expensive if it did :P
So who actually won the HWs ?
After what Geoff said, I dunno who was disqualified in the last melee or who won (Tiberius was still trying to fight, and Beast, and THz was doing its victory spin).
Nice to see Alice get a mention if only for a spectacular defeat!
Nice trick (and excellant timing) in the final melee using the flipper as a pit just as i was going to drive over it. I was hoping for a flip.
So what heavies have made the finals?
According to the newsletter which I recieved before the event, the robots that had gone through after the success at Portsmouth were
Envy
Tilly Evo
Pressure
Beast
& Kan-Opener
Now that this event is over, there will be more following their footsteps!
Well, i cant remember all of the winners from the fights, infact i cant remember any! (Compotition fights, anyway!)
i know Thor, DTK, THZ, Iron Awe have too.
So is the full list like this?
Envy
Tilly Evo
Pressure
Beast
Kan-Opener
Thor
Dantomkia
Terrorhurtz
& Iron-Awe
I would like to thank Roaming Robots for another great event. Even though there were a few technical difficulties.
Dave W- Geoff wanted to say that no-one got disqualified during that fight, and that the winner of the final melee was THz.
Thanks to all the roboteers that dressed up and made the effort, you all know who you are.
Jenny
Matt,
Cylon always goes wrong. In fact I dont think its ever got to the end of an event working fully. It doesnt normally catch fire though.
Andy
Well done to the finalists...my money for the final rests on either Beast (that new ram has greatly improved its performace) and Iron-Awe 5 (who always kicks arse :proud:)
Good luck to the finalists :wink:
Envy, THz, and Iron Awe 5 are the ones to beat. :)
Sorry LJ. :)
First of all, on behalf of all the teams, I would like to send our heartfelt condolences to John and family on their sad loss.
I think you will agree that it was a good event, yes, there were some problems and delays but they were sorted and lessons were learned. Maidstone should be quite something!
I need to address a small problem before it becomes serious and someone ends up getting hurt.
I mentioned it to the featherweight teams at the event, but I want to bring it to the attention of all.
At the end of a fight when cease is called there has been an increasing problem with one or two robots who decide there is further business that needs to be conducted!
The whole point of cease is to denote the END of a fight and give clearence for the arena marshal to enter the arena to start the disarming process. I have no problem with robots doing their victory spins or being driven across the arena to the doors to be disarmed, but further combat type contact between robots WILL NOT be allowed.
Therefore starting at Maidstone if any robots are seen to be going at it after cease has been called, they WILL be disqualified and any points or place in any final that were gained during the fight will be lost!
Good luck to all the teams in the finals at Maidstone, I understand that a complete list will be published shortly.
I was just about to say, surely the bots can give a victory spin!
Was working on a new Hydra replica, but for some reason my computer is being held ransom, i have a virus on it, and i need to pay £80 for some anti-virus thing, then it will be ok, well you can £80 my arse!
On WII.
Yeah we were the team on the bench just infront of Daves table. You going to be at Chester with a robot Matt?

I been watching them as soon as you have been putting them up. ill put my vids up later but there super bad quality(recorded on a phone)
I have to decide if i should try stick am 18v pack in Anxious. Dont know if ill have the room. Anxious is classed as a raptor at the moment. got Anxious on my profile pic now. Hopefully ill have another robot for chester.
anyone got any vids of beast?
Hi guys, back to norm is now.
Overall i enjoied the event, even though few things were iffy. The inner cage coming off still wasnt a problem with the arena to contain it with the new polycarb structure, but right after that fight, the little hicup was fixed, all bolted now, well meant to be in first place.
Lighting is being moved about, not sure why it was placed on the inner cages, mis comunication with the lighting guy.
Angela was missed of course, but nice one to Jenny for filling in, will welcome Angela back with open arms, Jenny scared me too much.
Thanks to all the teams for dressing up, and the extra effort some teams went for, really did add to the comunitty spirit.
An offical list of Robots through to the grand Final at Maidstone will be published on Tuesday Night, along with winners of the Halloween dress up.
Tuesday is the Update day..... more then...
