Two words - Tony Mowbray :lol:
I was worried when they hired him as I thought his attacking football philosophy would have a major impact in the league. To be fair, it did, just not the way anyone was expecting!
won £100 on dont push it woohoo! :D:D:D
also, was reading make mag, and on one of the pages there were about 7 plugs to robot sites, including technobots, robotwars101 and sussex model center, :)

This, ladies and gentlemen, is a perfect example of why we have polycarb and steel around our arenas and why you shouldn't play with big spinny things in the street!! :shock: ..........

I bought a toy mini-helicopter yesterday and this was the reaction of 4 (of my 7) cats:

Isegrim (dark grey, center) and Hrimnir (white and grey striped, front) were mightily interested and even hunted and swatted at the thing, Bean Sidhe (white and orange striped, yawning in the back at the right) wondered why the fuss, and Loup-Garou (who's killed another three rabbits this weekend - last weekend he killed 5 !! we have weird neighbours who think it's the rabbits' own fault if they leave their cages and get eaten by our felines) sits in supreme indifference far left/back, more interested in life prey you can actually eat.
The heli is surprisingly sturdy.
NOOOOOOOOOOO!
cdmnumber1fan closed his account. All those rare Robot Wars videos are gone!!! :sad: :cry:
cdnumba1fan's gone??? i was watching one of his video only yesterday :cry:
To be random for a moment; I'm spending this week working at the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Turbo Expo at the SECC and, of over 3000 attendees, there is one guy who stands out and I always end up spotting. I don't know his name or where he's from; all I think when I see him is that he is a cross between Ian Lewis and Mike Lambert :lol:
Also started making a list today (I was bored during lunch duty) of other conference attendees who looked like people and so far I've got a guy who looks like David Walliams but a little skinnier, a professor from Cambridge with a beard such that it makes him look like Abraham Lincoln, a guy who could be Lando Calrissian's twin brother and a fair few Japanese attendees who (without wanting to stereotype/generalise too much) could pass for Mr Sulu :)
..... so thats a very long swan vesta with an evil grin :lol:Quote:
a cross between Ian Lewis and Mike Lambert
Pretty much, although this guy doesn't have as evil a grin, more just the white hair and balding head :lol:
(I probably shouldn't take the mickey, seeing as I've never actually met Mike :lame: )
Oh lucky, lucky you :rofl:
FRA, can i give you a little job please
instead of elite roboteer can you put me in my own group called double uk champion
group for only me and george francis but dont think hes on the forum
thanks :)
please
elite roboteer is boring :)
You'd arguably have to stick John Reid and Nick in there too :P
If we really want to be anal then I should be a quadruple UK champ. Three times middleweight and once heavyweight :lol:
has thz won it twice then?
gary, jeez stop showing off ha get them robot wars trophies back as well, there must be a good collection for typhoon! 3 time middleweight, thats impressive - did you win any awards?
Just setting you back in place John, wouldn't want your ego to get too big ;)
There was also the lightweight title (our machine only had to move to win that one!).
I take it you mean the best engineered style awards? Nah but then it's the titles that we were interested in :)
I want my own group too : worst engineered best performing european mainland robot
You still havnt won uk heavyweight championship john.. pull your fingure out lol :)
iv never cared about heavies, all about feathers :)
Woo high five on the heavyweight champ win Dave! 8)
Anybody care to guess which roboteer didn't know how the cross of St George window flags attached to a car window.In his quest to find out opened said window, whilst being driven at 40mph, and was shocked when it blew off and hit the Merc behind us?
Over to you for suggestions :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Oh Alex you silly boy :P
Alex actually gave me an idea the other day; to have a FRA charity match, something like HW roboteers vs FW roboteers (we can't do RR vs RL, we're past all that now :)). Do you think we'd be able to get together 22 roboteers to play ?
Launching England flags at German cars is probably considered unsporting :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
No it wasn't Alex, I was driving the car and a male roboteer was the culprit sat in the back. :D
Over to you your starter for 10
Jonno ?
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Same bloke didn't know that Andy Murray was scottish :rofl:
Take a tip from the fireworks code - never return to a robot once lit.
Pity you didnt have a pound of sausages on you - it would have been a good barbie :lol:

As far as I'm aware, he was just testing it. Nothing extreme or anything.
