Jonno, how wide are the loading pens? Wilhelm's Scream is wider than it is long. Speaking of which, here it is:

Out of interest, what featherweights are coming along?

not beauty 4 lol, may be beauty2 if we can get it going!!!

Well, one ready and tested (DTK) weighs in at about 101kg and have to say after testing it that's the most powerful i've seen it recently. Disturbed should be finished on Tuesday.

We should be bringing Bitza along for the Sunday. Just got to straighten out some bends from NST!

I hear your robot did well at the uk champs. Did you get much damage from spinners?

Yeh we did alright! Got into the play offs.

As for damage..... Nothing really. Got a few bent uprights from NST but thanks to the way the robot is built its nothing a hammer won't fix!

got a new bit fitted so hopefully wont get stuck on my back !

looks like a wheely bar!

I got a little carried away ! :lol:

Say, wasn't Alan Gribble supposed to bring that Matilda replica he made to one of these events?

Jonno put on Facebook that Matilda will be the house robot for the featherweights.

Haha, that'll be great!

Interesting to see what her new tail weapon will be like. I remember she had the interchangable chainsaw/flywheel weapon at Extreme Warriors unless Alan comes up with something more...terrifying. :uhoh:

Done a bit on Saint fitted a fan to the Wotty speed controller. still have to replace the bearing housing on the drive. then it's good to go................................................ ..................Down the pit. :uhoh:

Have you had trouble with overheating your wotty Craig ?
Is it a 300 or 360 ?

Craigs running a 360, and its been cutting out after a few minutes when we were using at the last 2 expo events. Merlins 180 used to do it, but i bolted on a 5mm ali plate, and its not done it since.

Can I be cheeky and ask if anyone is bringing or happens to have a spare Radio Link 4ch Tx? As we discovered last weekend ours is playing up and takes an age to bind. Although we are only bringing our FW we still want to ensure the show runs smoothly and not have people waiting for Bitza to spring to life. Unfortunately Giant Cod is currently awaiting stock so can't replace it before the weekend.
We're just coming for the Sunday,

Thanks!

yep i do im going sunday

You could always bind it to my transmitter PJ. I'm only entering the heavyweight, so my transmitter will be free for featherweight competitions.

Cheers guys, just got a PM from Dave saying he's bringing his, so should be all sorted.

Thanks again.

for some reason i have acumulated 3 giant cod txs :?

just seen the rr advert for this on dave, havent seen it before.

Does anyone know if the German team are going to be replaced as they put on facebook that they cannot make the tournament?

ossy which team is that ?

People travelling to the dome might want to keep an eye on the traffic. The A2 is currently shut due to a serious accident (motorcyclist died) at the moment. Just something to be aware of.

It was a combination of 4 german roboteers who were entering Scott 2 but on the RR facebook page it says they are pulling out.

That's it Saint is ready to go Dave to be picking up the robot tonight, Have booked train ticket for Saturday day trip looking forward to seeing everyone there. :D

Got my camcorder, camera, camcorder tripod and team uniform looked out for tomorrow along with my ipod. Looking forward to seeing everyone there tomorrow at the biggest venue in Europe :D

Not looking forward to the time I have to get up at to get my train from Edinburgh tomorrow morning though :lol:

would any body be able to lend me a pair of robochalange 100mm or 75mm wheels for sunday?

How did Saint do? :uhoh: :uhoh: :uhoh: :uhoh:
