lol, i thought i was ready a couple of weeks back! but as always, things appear at the last minute. Waiting for batteries (should arrive friday) and waiting for transmitter(anytime within 7-10 days), finish self righter, wheely bars, and loads of other bits.
No wheels on Sewer Snake...but thats the only way it fits in the crate :wink:

Hannibal is as ready as he will ever be, Hannibalito likewise.
TILLY is 100% ready too ....
DIZZY101 (tilly101) had a big set back :sad: the new tops dont fit :sad::sad: goto do a cut and shunt ...
maybe just a big hammer me thinks :) they will fit tomorrow misstilly is a shassy with wheels and dizzy needs an overhall :P
Small Torque is 100% ready and after driving around my basement Ive got the feel for it now and hopefully I can communicate that over to Kiara.
Yeah im iffy with it being 5 minutes instead of 3mins. All the Winter Tour fights were 3mins, most get boring after 3 mins unless its like the semi finals. But all Uk Championships have been 5mins. Don€™t think my batteries will last 5 minutes. There getting old now, and cant be assed to spend more money on it for new batteries, even if i did, wont arrive in time really. So same boat as a few others then, thats ok. hehe.
So like Mark has said, people have 2 choices - go in for the kill right away, or others like John L suggested, take it easy. Hmmm cant see that happening. LOL. Some of these fights are going to be close im sure. Cant wait now.
Though i warn out from this holiday park tour, dont think i got any energy at the Uk Champs.
So if there€™s a 2 minute delay from when someone hits the pit button and when the pits actually goes down, i apologise now. LOL!!!
Cya All soon.

Just got back from the garage, Big Nipper is a long way from ready, but at least the new motors are in (see profile).
Just need to figure out why it keeps trying to reverse the motors when it feels like it, and the lifter still doesnt lift correctly, At least we have a crusher working. Does feel like last minute stuff.
Fitted another LED, but this one doesnt flash :sad: and you cant even see it from outside the robot.
Alistair, with regard to how strict theyll be on weight - itll be very strict. Aim for 12kg (+600g for gas bottle if used). There has been a 10% leeway in the past but this is the UK Championships so my advice is to get within weight in case that leeway isnt given.
Mark, Big Nipper stays a piece of wonerfull enginering.
Mark, I agree with Mario, thats a beautyful machine ...at least what I could see of it!!!
