Shame I missed it cos I was otherwise engaged sorting out Hydras fire. Luke's optimistic comment was 'at least it's not structural like Dantomkia's damage' :rofl:

I have to say looking at the state of dantomkia I think were better off not in there anyway. :uhoh:

Thanks to all the Roaming Robots crew for their help and to Wierd Alice for the ready supply of fire extinguishers.

Surprisingly I really enjoyed the event. SMIDSY ran very well with not too many hicups (Apart from Maelstrom :angry: )

well guys cracking event !!

Guildford ended up being a great event, some really entertaining fights.

What we thought was going to be a quiet event, turned out ok, not as busy as hoped, but certainly busier than Swindon and Cardiff !!!

Looks like the war between Thor / Envy vs Major Damage continues !! Although it has been stepped up a gear as the front breast plate of MD now needs its mounting rubbers replaced after a few hits from thor. First bit of damage !!! Think its time to turn the pressure up from its 7 Bar its currently on.

Thats it for our first half of the year, no more ticketed events for a while, time to look forward to RIAT in 5 weeks time.

Over the next few weeks I will be taking stock of things, looking at the future and seeing where we can go.
It is now the end of the year trial of the flip out zone / cages.

The result....

Cages - Success
Flip put zone - Entertaining when used, but not used enough - Fail

So Portsmouth may see a new concept / design to the RR arena again which is going to change the way things work !!

More info will come when decisions are made.
