Whats this about new combat rules? Missed that one! Can anyone enlighten me?
Hiya,
In hotel room just doing some last minute prep for on the errrrr new media.
Hiya Mike - its inside the roboteers area, you were givin a login and all sorts. Will show you and give you a lesson how to use it at the event mate. Very simple, lets you stay in control and also helps us keep records correct.
New Rules - there will be new rules on flipping robots out the arena. We have a way of robots getting back into the arena during competition fights. It will all e clear tomorrow.
Will add you to the list Mike tomorrow.
Right must press on, just had my KFC, now time to sort some media out and cables and get these computers working for tomorrow.
And i beleive the arena is on the M1 J24 as im typing this.
Mr Stu:lol:
Sorry to double post but a small traffic warning:
Any one going down the A259 or A27, they are doing works on the bridge in arundel , the traffic has been a nightmate past few weekends. So you may want to give yourselves an extra 30mins.
Mr Stu
He everyone, hope it all goes well for tomorrow. Unfortunately we wont be there. Tanglefoot is not quite finished. Hope to be at the next one. Cheers Chris
It is always a nightmare at Arundel but they have the road partially closed this time even though no one is working on it :angry:
Hope to see you and Tanglefoot at the next one Chris
Its a shame i cant make this one the Sidewinder is in the USA and I ordered the Wotty too late!
Good luck guys
Shane will win :)
Good Luck Everyone! :)

were on our way and it hasnt stopped tipping it down since we left! Also it just said on radio that there is floods in portsmouth lol
Well what a fabulous event!!
I really enjoyed that and even though there were a few teething problems the new arena mods are much better than i expected.
I would recommend though not getting stuck in the corner of the arena whilst fighting beast (sods law the first time ever it works properly is against us!!).
Big problem for us last year was reliability and to get such a hammering of Beast, go down kicking, screaming, biting and punching, the only thing that meant we couldnt get back in when we were eventually flipped out was we were out of gas and upside down. Quick charge of the batteries and gas refill and back up and running.
Spot on Jonno, great to see things moving in a different, fun direction.
Andy
beast is back on form again :) if it wernt comp it would have been different but i needed to win :) lol
my dad has now been sacked as he is useless on the button and ill be now doing it myself lol
think this was my last event of the year but ill try and get to another - 2009 is going to be FUN! and beast will be gettin some miles in - literally :)
we also got a tour of portsmouth on the way back - my dad can get to the venue without satnav but cant get out of it - we were driving around for about an hour before we started to head north!
im watching motd and what a goal by crouch!
o ye pain in the asp and pillow torque are rly annoying but whens the heavy coming geoff?
didnt think the arena would look anything like it did lol didnt no what it would look like but its going to be great! and stus doing a good job to

John,
You could have at least let us land before flipping us again!
I think out of the three minutes we were in we spent about two and a half in mid air! Very unsportsman like. Not that I was paying much attention but I bet the crowd loved that.
Andy
LJ - Didnt know at the time that I did Beauty so much damage until Geoff showed me the big hole in the top and the wheel-less spindle :uhoh:
Mind you - its nice to get some fighting form back and I didnt drive down the pit once :proud:
About that heavy .... John Bell joked to me that I would probably be driving it - I joked back with polite words on this forum to the effect that hell would freeze over before I was lifting into the arena!!

Andy, its not unsportsman
its a competition, and the prize is the winter tour and alot of money
in competitions i dont play fight - i just try to get the job done and i did that
John,
I was joking, probably need to find the smilies a bit more often.
Andy
Hi All
Just wanted to say thanks for making our first event so wonderful. You were all so welcoming and helpful.
A bit worried now as I can see this being very expensive. My children have decided that they cant possibly share the same robot so now need to buy another one.
Thanks again and see you in a few weeks.
Debbie and Team Devil XXX
envy at last got its ass into gear in the last show and was running as it should. just need to get used to the wotty and tweak it a little and we are off. Thor was the best its been for years and full ownage of its fights was a pleasure to watch. still it produced another niggle which will be an easy fix and ready for notts.
great event and i do love the new format it has totally changed the way envy fights. it felt great driving back into the arena . love the high walls.
also i think mr stu did a great job under great pressure and he needs a round of applause from the community for putting uk robotic combat world wide. good job mate....... clap clap clap clap clap.
the social was a great laugh and for those that were there i am sure will say the same. trev and pat you were great company yet again and thanks for everything.
thanks pete and jackie...you know what for :)
nottingham here we come......:)
Team Devil yes it can be a little expensive
but cheaper than other sports
karoline your just a bully :)
yet again thanx to RR its made the flippers work hard now and most fights last the distance
Ps need another job now as LJ sacked me off the button :sad:
Thanks for a great event, we really enjoyed it!
Maelstrom worked well for its first outing and the new arena set up was great.
Also does anyone have any videos of Maelstrom in action, we didnt film any fights.
Thanks
Will
Great event, good company on saturday evening.Its been a long time since i spent a saturday night drinking in a pub with a man wearing his slippers.Two people had a special experience with the lap dancer in the pub and one of them seemed to enjoy it too much!you know who you are.Well done Trev and Mike for winning .Finally well done to team shock please can we have a turn at winning next time please.:)
Ive got the one of Hydra, Maelstrom and White Knight. Once Ive got it downloaded Ill send it to you.
Andy
Hiya All, cheers for a cool weekend, i can now chill a bit.
Picture Gallery and Event Report now online, movie clip(s) to follow within 48 hours.
http://www.roamingrobots.co.uk/?pages=event&id=108http://www.roamingrobots.co.uk/?pages=event&id=108
Looking forward to Nottingham with the lessons learnt, going to be cool...
Mr Stu
Are there any good pictures of the new arena layout? The picture at the RR dont show that much of it Im afraid.
Yeah pictures were last minute due to being busy, but the movie clip will show the arena in use and the new setup etc.
Mr Stu
well im about refreshed now, eyes have just opened ! but my body doesnt want to move LOL :)
What a stress weekend, but fantastic success!
Thankyou to everyone who atteneded, and helped out. I knew it was going to be a hard day on saturday, a little tricky at the start but once we got it working, we were off for some fantastic shows.
We didnt really get to use the new area and door that much although the loud cheer when robots did drive back in made the work worth it !!
Ive wathed the video, of the envy fight, and it took him exactly 29.6 seconds to self right in the zone and drive back into the arena... how close !!!
There has been a few logistical scenarios which need to be resolved so that in nottingham we can use it to the full potential, feed back has been 100% positive so far though.
The social on saturday night was fun, although i wast really on the planet...my bed was shouting me.. or was it mrs trevor shouting me to bed .... oh i dont know !! :)
Anyway work begins for Nottingham tomorrow... day off today, tickets are already selling fast, so its going to be a great event.
Well done to Pressure and Mini Mighty Mouse who both had very close fights in the finals.
Oh and well done to mr stu, fror making Roaming Robots global.... we had people watching from all over the world, and the new media is brill, ( shame about the 2nd projector but its being fixed )
See you soon
John

Andy
Well done Pressure & Mini Mighty Mouse and those that have earned points for a place in the finals:wink:
:lol: Andy
Thanks for putting that online.
Does anyone have the video of Maelstroms first fight against And His Army and Envy??
Thanks
Will
R/Robots doooo :):):)
You got mail Will.
Mr Stu
Hi all, well done Will with maelstrom.
Adam was gutted skink went do lally just before the final, the fuse blew in the transmitter!!!
Next time MMM!
Just seen the video between Hydra, Maelstrom & White Knight, Was Luke on the camera at the time Andy coz I think I heard him going booyah!
Luke was driving with me on the weapons. My dad was filming next to us.
He was a bit excited because its the first time we pitted anything and he also realised Hydra can push.

Well movie clip is now online, so go to the Media Roaming Robots On Demand section or the Event Report page from http://www.RoamingRobots.co.ukwww.RoamingRobots.co.uk.
Another thing which im going to start doing:
Mr Stus Top Bots
Mr Stus Top 3 bots (Per weight class) per event.
This does not mean if they win every fight, but could be due to a great flip or something cool or great improvement or something.
(This sadly excludes Ant Weights as i didnt see them) - or Ant & Dec along with Stewie can take the place for having ace names.
My top 3 Feather Weights are;
Pain In the ASP - for great bashing about
AND
Aftershock for some great flips.
AND
Skink for constant flipping action, shame about the final.
And top 3 Heavy Weights;
Malestrom - for some great fights, none stop action flights and driven better than it used to be driven.
AND
Hydra - for some great flipping and brute force!
AND
Tilly Evo - for some great OOTA and flipping action.
Nice One.
Mr Stu

Not what can be considered a successful venture into the arena for us!

Andy
I take it this wasnt what Stu meant about great flipping and brute force!!
Good to see reliability was better as we came out with no damage really. As we were running on a 1.1kg bottle wed run out of gas so couldnt self right when outside. Otherwise wed have gone back in and taken him out!!:mrgreen:
Andy
any vids of any of the thor fights please???
Ive not got any because we didnt fight you. Mr Stu sent me the Beast hydra fight, so maybe hell send you the Thor fights.
Andy
Forgot to ask,who put the request on radio 2 Chris Evans show friday evening for the roboteers travelling down to the event?
