sounds good,
360 will be there to do the normal... smash beauty, then blow up. Hopefully me and ed will be running a PTDR aswell if we pull our fingures out.
..come on guys, you really expect an E.O to change the date of an event because a few kids carnt make the Friday?
I would be very interested to see how many other people share this opinion, as I suggested keeping the dates but rescheduling the fights.Quote:

I don't think running the arena without James or Grant being there is an option and quite rightly so. It is their arena and if something goes wrong, their necks on the line so to speak.
It is a shame that the dates aren't fantastic for everyone potentially involved but has anyone contacted any schools yet and explained the situation?
... that's one person then

I seem to recall that i asked for both our fights for burgess hill to be rescheduled to the saturday and a few of our other fights were rescheduled because other people couldn't make it for a particular day during the heavyweight uk champs. Maybe it's your writing style but it does come across as particularly flippant when you suggest this isn't a possibility because it's just a 'few kids' it shouldn't even be discussed.Quote:

PPS: Or maybe it's that those 'few kids' seem to be doing rather well and being beaten by a nine year old is just too upsetting for such a well engineered robot (sorry that's John isn't it?? Oh sorry it wasn't Alex last time so I suppose with Luke being a 13year old it's at least a bit better :rofl: :rofl: )
PPSS: Yes after that England game I have had rather a lot to drink and I am looking for an outlet so I'll probably regret this post in the morning :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

i know what you mean about school moaning about days off, used to phone my mom like 5 times a day to say i wasnt at school even if she knew i wasnt or if i just turned up late and missed mornin reg, my school was a joke for this lol
Id suggest you sober up before posting again...
Why would people not being able to go to an event on a set date have anything to do with me/my robot?..Dont try and make things personal. Its pathetic.
Calm down ladies, Just wait to see what else Grant or James have to say, We do have to remember its a Silverline PTDR event and Robo Challenge are just running a UK champs event along side it so we cant really be running into the PTDR event time. If the UK champs competition layout is anything like last years it will be very hard to find the time to reschedule some of the fights to another day as there was 3 qualifying fights each with 3 robots in each fight, So say 3 robots cant attend on the Friday they would have to try and fit in an additional 7-9 qualifying fights on the Saturday before the rest of the competition can continue, And going on how tight it was for time last year fitting everything in, I would have thought it would have been near on impossible to make it happen. Its up to Grant and James. Plus it will be nice if the weekend goes nice and smoothly, It will give the Coopers a chance to enjoy the weekend rather than been rushed and stressed out.
Not used forum much lately, it went kinda dead and boring for a bit but it seems to have livened up a touch now, This post probably doesnt make much sence but it is half 4 in the morning and been up since 6 yesterday morning, I think its nearly bed time.
Just noticed forum times an hour behind the real time. It says 3:39 but its really 4:39
Sum one should fix that. Wrong thread to be telling sumone to fix the forum time?... I think so
