Might be a little late, but when does the fighting start? I don't want to miss anything.

Massacre's looking good Harry. If you're still having problems with the weapon I'm sure between us all we'll be able to get it up and running. Will be much more fun if we're all spinning in Q1 :)
Are you around tomorrow or just turning up on Saturday?
EDIT: The battles should start around 10am
Thank you Jamie, if it ends up not spinning, its no big deal.
I can't make it up tomorrow, just Saturday. Incredibly nervous, not about the spinners, just about tech checks and my robot falling to pieces. In theory there are no problems, I've got a 2mm ti baseplate, 100a fuses, all the wiring is the same sort that is on the lipo, 12awg silicone stuff, everything failsafes, I've got locking bars for the bar, sharp edge protection, lipo bags and balance charger and a cradle of course. Is there anything i'm missing?
That all sounds fine to me, can't see anything major missing.
A packed lunch? You can't send the robot into its first battle without a packed lunch!
Don't forget the Frubes and cheese strings :)
Hey guys
I need a room. Where I was going to stay has had a problem so I have nowhere to stay tonight. Can anyone help ?
Good luck to everyone at the Champs, I'll be there next year!
Any chance of some updates between the qualifying sessions; who has won, who is looking good, highlights?
Binky is now ready, just giving the batteries a charge, fitted with its new 1.2mm Ti5 ground scraping blade.
Conker II is almost repaired after yesterdays accident.
Just beginning to gather the tools together and find boxes to put the robots in, which is hard as both of them are over 500mm wide and 350mm long!

Well, I might be able to use it with the spinner, but see what happens.
Cheers.
Prepare for spoilers, though I'll try to keep them minor.Quote:

It looked great but was beaten by itself really. Tormenta did well but suffered quite bad damage to the weapon. There was a lot of destruction, and a lot of robots had to pull out of some battles.
On the whole, I really enjoyed this, and I can't wait 'til Sunday!
