just got back, thanks guys i sure had fun :)

mythras only got running with the help of some very nice people :mrgreen: you guys know who you are but id like to thank you again :P : thanks to ed for doing a huge amount of work for us, thanks for the led and batteries btw :)

thanks to the owners of the carrying cradle for letting us borrow it :mrgreen: and Trevor for identifying some possible reasons why we couldnt get it running at the beginning :)

thanks also to clive for the wire and the dantomkia guys for giving us loads of ideas :)

but a very large thank you to the roaming robots crew for a brilliant day out :D


the battles were very entertaining, my first fight against dantomkia seemed to go well accept for us dropping a chain :uhoh: , we even managed to wedge him into the side wall at the end :mrgreen: but i guess dantomkia would've done better if his tank hadnt exploded right before the fight lol :lame:

the second fight was a bit more destructive, tilly evo made a bit of a mess of our wiring :roll: and our lid flew of at the end :uhoh:

anyway a great event guys...we will be back... 8) 8) 8)

Thanks for the chance to display our antweights once again, we got some good enquiries, so we hope that our community will continue to grow.

And we managed to run antweights just about all day. I'll bring some run-all-day bots for the next big event, and we will hopefully keep the audience entertained between HW and FW battles.

Enjoyed my 1st fight making mincemeat of everyone then the perennial problem with PT hit again - Geoff was driving so he broke it this time :lol: Should be fit again for Swindon.
Spent the rest of the day chillin' which is what it's all about at Aylesbury 8)

Well Had A Good day set up the arena in good time .. The weather was its now usual sunny warm self ...
Enjoyed all the fights and especially fighting some new blood ( sorry Mythras ) lol a lot of potential there to make something very nice and welcome to the world of roboteering heavyweight style ...
Packed the truck away ind good time too and got home early for once ..... :proud: :proud:

Unlike Clive and the toon army who are currently sat at the side of the A1 awaitng Green Flag too assist the changing of a wheel as some kids have been throwing missiles which smashed two artic lorries windows and the debris blew there tyre..

Never mind clive and co we love you ... ( no one hurt in this ) just the tyre ...



Roll on swindon .............

As always nice little event... enjoy the social side and fun of these little ones..
I even got a drive of a Robot for the first time in a year!! (Apart from Major Damage)
Big Thank you to Alex for letting me drive Tiny Toon!! Cheers Buddy (Wont flip you on the arena flipper as much now :crazy: )
And i attualy won - wooo - quote from Sean You aint lost your touch - cheers buddy. hehe.

Big well done to Owen (hope thats his name if i remember rightly) for winning the mini trophy with little devil or devels helper was it?. Nice one dude!!

See you next year i hope... or see most of you in 2 weeks time at Swindon!
Pictures go online tomorrow night.

Having had my old car speared through the side by a scaffolding pole I know how frightening it can be getting hit by debris - let alone while driving at high speed.
Glad to know that all are ok and hope they get home safe and soon.

UPDATE.......
Toon Army back on the road home :P :P :P
