Your dad will be pleased with that draw Jamie, even if he just manages to enter the arena for all of his fights he's already equalled what Drumroll got last year :lol:

I thought it was Carnicus!?Quote:
and Carcinus has a different spelling every time :lol:
I got the same amount of points as Drumroll with Cicatrix, so it was also kind of a dig at myself too. All just friendly banter :lol:
Thats the thinking behind it there PJ:

It'll look great on Youtube though!Quote:

The lack of active weapon on it is bugging me though, might go back to it and see if I can fit a spinner in there somewhere...
The draws have been pretty kind to both robots though. Not so much in terms of easy opponents, but more by the fact that damage should be minimal (with possible exception of Drumroll's third fight, which is against another drum and a horizontal bar). Nice also to see the amount of new robots featuring this year, as well as entries from Portugal and Spain. Should be a brilliant competition :)
Here's my predictions of who I think will win the fights and make it to the top 10 :)

Positive mental attitude
I hope...
Bad news is: our second fight will be devastating.
Good news is: we won't have to fight our last battle as we'll be too broken to compete. :)
Ah well, even if our robot is crap I'm sure we'll have a great time going googly eyed over everybody else's machines.
Your lack of faith disturbs me *chokes you with the force* :P
Omen is a dead cert :mrgreen:
I'm looking through the entries and I am happy to see such a variety of machines; rammers, lifters, flippers, lots of spinners, and even a crusher, but no axes which is annoying. Should have mine there for whiteboards though.
I get to fight 2 beauty's? Win!
Yeah, there are a few regulars that aren't competing this year. Little Hitter will probably be there for whiteboards, but no Asgard (or DB5), no Alpha, no Seraphim/Tron etcQuote:

There are quite a few drums/beaters this year (Drumroll, TS2, Galactus, 540, Invictus, Bitza Mk.2) so if we're all still running at the end, we'll need to have a big mele. Bonus points for whoever can send their opponent the highest :)
Very interesting draw this time- looks like Inertia will have a tough fight with NST but hopefully I will have the Anti-horizontal setup done properly this time (unlike last years rushed effort)
Lambda seems to have a reasonable draw- no big spinners and a couple of robots that it might be able to damage- as long as Kat can learn to drive it :)
Aftershock however seems to have a fairly evil draw this year with 3 spinners and 2 of them in the same fight- not sure if the old chassis will stand up to them so it might need a new one.
Really looking forward to this one now as it should be a good competition
Not too happy about being drawn up against the 1st and 3rd seeds, but it's about what I expected.
Atleast we've avoided LS4 this year!
any info on a bot called ripoff? Thought it was johno's feather that team ocean has rebuilt but I'm not too sure now?
Think Stagefright with attitude :proud:
wonderful, every bot i have in qualifying is a spinner!
I think this is what Ripof used to be like
that the walker?
No not the walker.
It came off the walker, Neoteric, but looks cool :)
Strip i think it was called
You're on the right tracks Tony :wink:Quote:

I would very much be up for a drum-off Jamie.
Ceri, that sounds like a plan to me :).
We're not actually Spanish; we moved here from the UK in 2003. We could represent Spain, though, as I believe ours is the only robot ever to have been made in Spain.Quote:

Nice to see most folk are predicting wins for Drumroll in all its qualifiers. I feel special :rofl:
Following current rugby trends, just give me the wooden spoon and be done with it! :uhoh:Quote:

Hi,
It will be a pleasure for me to compete with you all.
Galactus is ready for the worst that can give me. :wink:
I will stay in the Ibis Airport, arrive on April 12. Someone will stay around?
Guilherme, that looks fantastic! I'm a bit worried about fighting that now :shock:
It reminds me very much of the Touro robots from Team Riobotz, did they provide some inspiration?
Our accommodation is about 20 minutes drive away, arriving on the 12th also. If I remember correctly, the Ibis hotel is right next to the event venue so I'm sure there will be some people around there.
