Ed, I disagree. Nebelwerfer only broke down in the final because a horizontal spinner hit the vertical spinner and someting had to give and unfortunately that something was the disk mount. Plofbox 2 had a problem with the speed controller (which could happen in any robot) in the semi-finals but apart from that it performed beautifully, and still does.
Heh, that was a spectacular final between Nerbelwerfer and Prolodju (sp?) brief but spectacular!
you should buil 4 of the raps n have them as a tag team
ud have a good chance of winning - them spinners were more reliable then the feather 1s
generally the most unreliable robots are always the newly built ones!
not that im worried about mine of course :) but i am curious how to easily beat spinners, is that possible? my experiances against hornet and little spinner were down to bad luck (for them) perhaps someone can test this method out on Prodigy evo for me, incase im missing something and need to make alterations in the future.
i would like to team up with dragon king, but as im 13.6kg, is it possible he is 10.4kg or less, giving us a combined weight of 24kg :lol:

if we can combine it then yes we can as its well under or easily can be - the battery in it is like 2 kg - i think my dads going to build a new dragon king from his Ti bar which will be alot better
and i cnt tell u how to beat spinners :P
but imo flippers are harder to beat as if beauty and a few others got under any1 and flipper then there out :) well thats with new ram which hopefully we can get under weight
this also needs to be archived lol
john, have you brought dragon king? i didnt realise, is that tonys old spinner machine?
no sorry, just remembered thats dragonstrike. :crazy:
(Message edited by ady on December 07, 2007)
na me dad hasnt made a spinner yet
hopefully will one day if theres more events a yr
something like tonys new 1 would be good to have aswel as they will prob be avaliable alot smaller in future
James and I have been talking about this for a while now, we wanted this to be the last fully 12kg featherweight event. BUT....
Weve been asked by a number of people if they can enter with 13.6kg.
So, aslong as this seems fair to everyone, we will be running the Tag Team with a COMBINED weight of 24kg. The maximum weight of any robot will be 13.6, NO exceptions! Hopefully this means that there will be a few more teams, and a little bit more fun for everyone.
This means if robots such as Beauty2, Prodigy Evo (possibly pain in the asp?) can find partners that are well underweight you can all join in :proud:.
mine and my daughters that we are bringing are now on my profile, just got to add some more armour to the spinner, will be finished over the weekend. my daughters first event and she will be in whiteboards only for this event, her driving is improving. Her robot kahn is only 11.5kgs, so room for a weapon next year.
so jonno
whats rip weighing ?
Well if hes with you John it will have to about 8Kg!
would like to team up with dragon king, but as im 13.6kg, is it possible he is 10.4kg or less, giving us a combined weight of 24kg
yes Tony its well under :)
ps its my brothers machine but we look after it
Push n Shove needs a partner, if any of the over weight bots want a partner, it has a spare kg.
How about Prodigy Evo?
prodigy evo doesnt have a partner at the mo, but it depends what dragon king is up to, as i offered to team up with them, we are doing a few rigerous tests next week to make sure everything is in order for this event and find no hidden weakpoints. Now does my memory serve me right that it was push and shove that prodigy landed on top of after taking out hornet. :wink:,
a grudge match in the future i reckon! my robot weighs exactly 13.6, so you would need to be 10.4 or under, to pair up with me, but if dragon king is sorted elsewhere i would gladly team up with push and shove. this is all providing my testing goes ok.
will ask my dad tomo
if its my cuzs drivin id go with push n shove as w/e robot they drive they are rubbish at lol
dads away for weekend but will b bk tomo
COME ON HATTON!!
as long as i have a strong partner i dont mind :wink:, incase i accidently hit you lol, no seriously i dont care who i get paired with..
Push n shove is 11kg so it is too heavy to go with Prodigy Evo.
And yes Adrian your memory does serve you right!!!
Anyone else want to go with Push n Shove?
I was going to go with Invasion or Annihilation but we thought that 2 pushers would be too easy to beat!
Booked in at the Birmingham Maypole Travelodge for this event - was gonna book one closer to the location but all their cheap rooms had gone; this ones only five miles away from the event and had nice cheap rooms :)
Geoff, will 145 x 150 x 5.5mm grade 2 be ok? Dave has some of that at our workshop that isnt being used at the moment (off the end of 145 x1000ish bar)
ps. is will add a new list of robots attending before the end of the week a theres been a few more teams and a few more robots signed up.
Pfft giving my stuff away lol you can cut it for that lol
is it me or is this thread no being archived? bloody long page admin
hehe ye its getting long!
there any prizes?
my dad would like the chance to win 1 of those chargers again lol he likes it
yea but hell jus trade it for something else at some point
Emm, will look into it when I get back from work tonight.
Ok, this wont help with the long page but im just updating the list of robots attending.

Were looking for around 15 tag teams, if youve organised a partner, or looking for one just put your name down on here.
Theres some nice trphies being made as we speak for the Tag Team.
I should have a machine in for the tag team; Stingray (was to be entered as a 6kg Raptor at the Euros but build wasnt completed so am now completing to 10.4kg so that a pairing with a 13.6kg machine is possible). Basically is a 4WD well armoured brute with a lifter - see Vladiator http://gagecauchois.com/vladiator_6_9_01.jpghttp://gagecauchois.com/vladiator_6_9_01.jpg which provides the basic inspiration. Any overweight takers?
I know I withdrew Hells Angel, but Id like to enter Satanix in its place
I have signed up Whirlpool for competition and Splash might make one last appearance for the whiteboards.
Anyone want to team up with Whirlpool (4WD pusher)??
Will
Little Hitter and Little Flipper will enter the tag team comp so they need parnters, anyone?
Ill go with Little Flipper if thats ok.
Yes thats ok will.
Id like to tea up with Little Hitter if I may ?
no problem david
so thats Whirlpool + Little Flipper
and Satanix + Little Hitter
LF and LH is the dream team
how come not together? and is LS coming?
i believe LS2 is still broken - Are you still planning to bring pain in the asp Geoff? well have to stop signups soon as we now have 40 robots for 1 day :proud:
Grant,
Cant see P.I.T.A being ready for this one, sorry. If you have been saving me a place, please give it to someone who actualy has a running robot! :sad:
Pillow Torque 2 is taking up most of my time at the moment.
(and you wont believe the flak Ill get off the girls if its not ready for the start of next year!! :uhoh: )
No problem geoff. Did you still need that 5mm ti?
Ti is now sorted, but thanks anyway Grant.
Weve decided that two pushers with really good armour wont be too hard to beat after all. So could you add Push n Shove and Annihilation to the list of teams please.
