Vantec crashed in that one and it got stuck spinning on the spot at full whack for 30 seconds, and the the power kept cutting out every now and again, blah blah blah. But we live to learn and i look forward to next year:)
No doubt we will have an event report online soonish.

Gilbert to Rob: What do you mean by The Easter Bunny took it?
Event Report and Picture Gallery is now online on the Roaming Robots Web Site. There will be a slight delay before we get movie clips online due to, well we forgot to download the footage at the event so Jonnos gotta send the footage to me on DVD ASAP. It will be online ASAp - this week if Jonno gets his (insert word) into gear.

Caption Competition: Tsk tsk, you just cant get the engineers these days
Firstly, congratulations to winners Kan Opener and Little Hitter.
Good event and loads of new :wink: faces - it was like the proverbial whos who of Robot Wars - some of the kids were absolutely wide eyed at the line-up of famous faces and machines.
Guys,
I agree it was really nice to see the event with the old robots, the old faces, and i think most will agree..... it had the old Robot Rumble atmosphere.
I would like to thank all of you for your support for this event, im glad that my involvement and commitment helped sway some of your decisions as to whether to attend or not.
Again it was great to see our friends from across the water, i bet they got home before we did last night.
I think we all owe Geoff Thrope a BIG thank you for bringing this event back to life. This time last year robot world suffered a blow, however 2006 has more than made up for it.
Weve already talked about 2007, so put it in your diaries for much of the same.
Well done to the winners, Kan Opener in a fantastic final which was 50 / 50 up until the end, and Little Hitter.
There is lots of things on going behind the scenes within RR at the moment, currently having to play a waiting game with decisions being made, what with the pending Uk champs, and other things in the pipeline, its a bit tricky, but rest assured I will be sending an update very soon, on whats in store for the rest of the summer, and also the rest of 2006.
See you soon

I must say that this time was much better than any previous time Ive been...maybe because it actually felt like an episode of Robot Wars, what with the pit, flipper, ability to flip another robot out...and the funky background music.
Plus seeing what happened to the washing machine once Beast, Scorpion and Tornado had finished with it.
Im still curious Christopher, when was the last time you went?
