As you can see the list is getting quite large with 30 robots signed up. I would like to ask if anyone that is on that list is not still planning to attend, could they please let me know so that we dont need to turn anyone away closer to the event.
There are still places available but dont leave it too late!!
I will be making a list of all the partnered teams as I get told who is with who, so could you please put on this thread your definate team mate and I will put you in the draw for the competition. Anyone who doesnt have a team mate or wants to wait untill the day we will draw the remaining robots from a hat to decide the final teams....so dont worry if you cant find a partner.
More info to follow soon.....
Hi grant, Prodigy evo is now 13.6kg. will be used for whiteboards (if others dont mind) and demos
No Drumroll? :sad:
(Im guessing it just got missed out on the list-making - poor thing :))
Just to let you know from that list, Snakebite isnt competing anymore (I emailed James about it a couple of weeks ago just so hes got it on record) but Drumroll will still be there. Spun the drum motors at full whack (on semi-flat batteries albeit) and belted them up to the pulleys a couple of days ago; should get some good spinnage out of it :)
Sorry jamie, my mistake. Removed the wrong one :proud:
Pfft, shocking! :proud:
Drumrolls not happy now though, hes thinking about taking his anger out on Ploughbot :wink:
Drumroll and Hornet 2 will be partnered up
Moan the Scots!!! :)
Thanks for the offer Dan, but Trevor and Mini Mighty Mouse have already offered. Look forward to seeing you there.:-)
Sorry Dan forgot the question.
No I am not a Toon fan Alex is, coming from Gateshead he has been brainwashed.
It dosnt matter anyway as it looks like we cant make it at all.
Flow! And Savage are signed up has a tag team
RIP and Beauty 2 are teamed up. :)
Flippers Rule!!:)

Ok Dan but how about next time? Looks like the flippers are celebrating already!
This thread brings back memories of a thread a year or two ago that went on for 100 or so posts without archiving - hope this one archives soon (86th post on this page) cos my scrolly finger hurts :crazy:
Due to the fact ive just righten off myself and my car (done a Danby) i doubt ill be able to get 360 finished in time, ill still attend and bring a few components along to stop people guessing. :proud:
dave, you ok? im going over to see grant on sunday will be bringing prodigy evo over if your about, then you can tell me more about 360, to give me an idea of what extra armour i need next year. lol
grant, i have an old microwave now to bring to the event to chuck around and smash up, will bring a binbag, i have taken gary cairns advice and removed the cable so it doesnt get tangled up in the disk. but as i am bringing it i get first hit!:proud:

new beauty maybe ready - been testing the ram at RR events and its been GREAT - think we flipped like 8 robots out over past 2 events
depends on the weight - my dads on about going in with no armor :uhoh: if not under we will be using old ram with full armor
360 will be done dave.... just need some 3mm ti for cheap cheap.
and if you have any spare unwanted left overs. :uhoh:
Ive decided to pull out. Hells Angel is in no condition to fight ATM. It needs:
a)Axe remounting
b)Wiring redone
c)HDPE welded/perhaps new shell
d)CO2 upgrade for axe
e)new wheels (Ill be calling you about that Grant)
so its not in the best of states, paticularly after the bashing it received at Portsmouth
isnt it working then, or dont you want it trashed?
if it works cant you battle anyway, if you are getting a new sheel etc
alex
I can get HA working, but theres no point if it cant fight as it should. I MAY, however, be bringing Satanix, my other FW, but I could do with some new drill motors for that, as the ones I have cant handle 18v
Yeah im okay thanks ady, bit of whiplash but the MR2 will be arriving soon lol
We might have some spair 2.5mm grade 4 for sale soon. Other sheets and grades i can get cheap, let us know exactly what u want and ill try get you somthing.
Did someone mention cheap Ti? ...
Need a bit around 150mm square X 5(ish)mm thick... P-l-e-a-s-e! :uhoh:
Are there any decent food/bowling places nearby Thinktank? As I was thinking, if the show didnt finish too late and anyone who didnt need to dash off wanted to hang around, we could organise the grabbing and scoffing of food followed by a couple of festive games of ten-pin?
dave, i have just brought a toyota MR2 for the weekends. definately interested in 2.5mm, just need some pieces for side panels.
(Message edited by ady on December 05, 2007)
Dave: Could do with some of the Ti as well, could you let me know what sizes you may have available.
Cheers
Dave Mac.
Geoff; ill have a look at what ive got but it shouldnt be a problem. Ill bring whatever i find thats suitible along on the day (unless you need it before?) if so let me know
Jamie; Theres a star city a short drive away, has pizza huts, bowling placess, etc, etc, sort it out on the day.
Dave, i can get whatever people need, but it comes at a cost, I get it titanium cheap via my sponsor. unless its just the odd offcut that i have in my shed.
Ady- what model you buy? and how you finding it? The only drawback i can see is the practicality.. but im 19 so dont give a ...
My pcs gone dodgy again, so if anyone needs anything from me urgent contact me via Ed Wallace or Grant.
If your looking at bowling, its best to book before the event. 40 of us went bowling at Hemel, the chances are there wont be that many lanes free on a Sat night.
i have brought the MK2, 91-00, if this is the model you are getting and i can give buying tips as i know this model inside out pretty much. and its 2.5mm ti im after :wink:

think tank is also next to bull ring
which is alright but sales will be on so could be good while fights aint on
i look forward to it dad :mrgreen:
Just to let you know, James and I are looking into a few different possibilities for after the event and well let you know the plans shortly.
Tag team wise, ive only been notified of a few deffinate teams listed below:-
Drumroll - Hornet 2
MMM - Tiny Toon
Rip - Beauty 2
DB5 - Tuff Luck 2
PloughBot - 360
Ive heard from a few others some maybe teams, but nothing deffinate. Anyone who hasnt got a partner before the event can choose or be drawn on the day.
When we have a clearer idea of how many teams there will be, I will let you all know about the competition format.
Arrival times, show times ect will all be posted with the format very shortly. You will also recieve an e-mail with all the same information on at the same time.
Any questions keep firing away.....
i have a question.....
how much, and who do i need to pay to not fight spinners!! :)
you big whimp :)
what youve got to remember is that I will be putting back together a 3 year old featherweight which has sat in retirement on top of my lathe enjoying not being hit by stupidly fast spinning mass time after time.... namely the old scorpion jn, and little spinner, and that was before they got stupidly powerful....
Its bent twisted and has holes in every pannel but only needs a new drill gearbox, and the wiring replaced, and itll be working again.
So im asking myself why im doing it.... for fun i suppose:)
john
it best be working! :)
well just make sure your flippers working .....daddy ,
1) no leaks
2) it fires
3) it goes back down
:)
If the UK and Euro champs are anything to go by, it will be the spinners that have to fear. They all broke down at one point or another, lack of testing methinks.
spinners r easy to beat
and dont worry jonno i tell him whenever i c him :) he says he has sorted the getting back down but i dont believe him
it works dont panic like taking candy off a baby
GULP :sad:
ps theres dragon king to team up with an other bot please
