I€™m depressed I still can€™t get out of that stupid pit.
:sad:
i think bigger wheels will do it craig
Cabrakan looks great, will be good to see a vid of it in action.
How Big? :uhoh:
Show 1.
Pressure:
Flipper not closing properly, one battery pack came apart twice, lost competition fight. (to White Knight! well done Erik)
Puck:
Driven by Shane did OK, ended in pit.
White Knight:
Flipper on reduced power due to damaged seal but still got three points in competition fight.
Skink:
Wire broke on battery pack, low power, rubbish performance.
Show 2.
Pressure:
Finally got flipper back to old form, kicked some robot botty, got Kan Opened twice, blew the end off the ram (again!) spraying nuts and bolts all over the place! game over!
Skink:
Got stuck on the floor flipper for most of the competition heat (grrrrr!) got nowhere.
Puck:
Got bitten by Tiberious (again!), flat tyre, missed competition fight in third show, game over.
White Knight:
Ram seal finally gave up, game over.
Show three.
Skink:
Got stuck on pit in first twenty seconds, still on it when dropped!
A fellow roboteer: You didnt have a very good weekend did you?
Actually I rather enjoyed it!!!
puck . . Flat tyre. . . Lol ironic.
After reading that lot Mike,
Not getting out of the pit dose not seem so bad!
:)
You were so unlucky Craig!
The Saint gets better each show!
Jonno, is kind of isnt it!
For some reason, The audience didnt seem to like Storm Force :sad:
Dont take it personally Liam, just go out there and prove em wrong :)
Audiences are funny. When Cylons lights are working it gets a lot of support, if they aint working it doesnt get much support.
As Joey says dont take it personal.
Andy
Storm Force has lights on it though - Powerlights if thats good enough?
Cylons are blue running lights and I have to say they do look good. That said its a robot that rarely finishes a fight and cant self right. So the point I was making is that its not really worthy of any praise based on its performances. Its just fun to drive.
Sorted out the self righting now though and itll be a very different robot next time people see it.
(It was 9.6kg at Nottingham 2007 and is now 13.7kg so weve got some weight to loose - and it self rights!:proud:)
Andy
Tony Booth you have mail.
Thor...wow. Gotta see a vid of it in action...
will get it back at euro champs

Sounds like Roaming Robots really kicked off their year with style! Well done Jonno and crew for all the effort you put in to organising and running such awesome shows. Keeping my fingers crossed I can make it along to one this year :)
Thats just a small taster of what we got planned this year. We mean business this year, woop woop, bring on Cardiff :)
Theres going to be a delay with the picture gallery and movie clips sadly for this event. Sorry about that. Though it will all be done by Thursday night latest, if not tomorrow. Sorry for delay.
Mr Stu

Just seen the Gallery is online! Never saw me doing the Scooter dance, but never mind!
And Stu, surely theres a mistake, according to the RR 09 Event Shedule, isnt Swindon up next?
Liam where did you see the gallery? I cant find an event report yet.
http://www.roamingrobots.co.uk/?pages=event&id=124http://www.roamingrobots.co.uk/?pages=event&id=124
There U are!
Swindon has been called off and is moving to May we beleive, hence why its not on the web site yet. John is sorting the final plans... and all events for the year will be offical on our site next week.
Mr Stu
any body else having trouble accessing the gallery? i cant get in to see the pics
Yep im having props cant see them ether
i cant see them either PAGE CANNOT BE DISPLAYED
I cant get into the gallery through the event page but if you go throgh the media section it works
it will get sorted on monday when it officially goes online. Were working on lots of updates which will come next week. And stu is away this weekend.
Sorted now. Sorry missed that little error. Dont show up in firefox. So thats fixed, video and other updates will come mid week, just getting this funeral out the way then more stuff on its way soon.
Mr Stu
Do the links for the video clips on the website not work, or is it just me? They just take me back to the Barnsley page.
Also, when will the details for the fights be online? And Stu, did u get my email about sending the video of Storm Forces battle with Meggamouse to me?
Cheers
Liam
Hi Dave...
Errr sorry to report it might be just you... but i think i might know what it is... when you hover over the link, its just the event page in the status bar.. but attualy when you click it, a java script kicks in and opens the video in a small pop up window. So you might have java or pop ups disabled. I have pop ups turned off but allows it from roamingrobots page. I might start to embed the movie clips on the event pages them selves, but your the first person to point a prob out on this. What browser are you using mate?
Liam there is a delay on getting the battle details online as were trying to create some special clever stuff which works out peoples ranks etc. Will be sorted before the next event easily. And no i didnt get your email mr.
Mr Stu

OK Then, Its just that seeing as I didnt get any footage of the fights, I would appreciate it if u could email me the video of my fight with Meggamouse, if u cant, no worries.
Cheers
