Could be worse and always wanted to fight Vortex, never got the chance years ago.
A quick link to the Gadget Show Live's website. A little bit of text on our feature stand thats located as part of the presenters signing area :proud:
LS4 v Vortex.... lol.
Should be some good fights, are we only allowed entry on the days were competing or can we w/b on the other days? Did you want me to bring my dragster(s) for display?
All rambots in the first round. Fantastic :P
Why do I have 2 fight 3's ? I'm hoping I don't have to do one after the other
so who or what is Calum Jones then? Also Daiske?
Little Spinner 4 vs Bitza vs Vortex
We're going to be right in the middle of that spinner fest!
Ditto - Kaizer in Fight 1 on Saturday. Alpha & Cyberon are in similar shoes on the straight after another front.Quote:

The order listed isnt the order you will be fighting, it's the order it's drawn! Always so negative! :lol:
So I'm going to spend the weekend building Carcinus then throw it in the arena against myself and Sam's death machine?! Might as well leave it as the pile of parts it currently is :crazy:Quote:
NST vs Carcinus vs Drumroll 2
Some interesting draws, still need to study them in detail though. I'm not as worried about spinners this year thanks to the addition of 3kg worth of hardox, although I will need to watch the flippers. Sure I can run invertible but that's no use if I'm on the wrong side of the arena wall.
Poor Kaizer doesn't seem to have it much better this year with regard to spinners, drawing three of the big guns. Good luck Ceri :proud:
All good apart from LS4 :uhoh:

To think the Carcinus/Drumroll/Kaizer fight was soo close :sad:
LOL gary, thats me i didnt no what i was taking at the time it will be my drum spinner aslong as tom gets the drum done intime, if not it's just gonna be a box (N)
WOOP WOOP! DRUM ON DRUM!!! FANTASTIC :mrgreen:
Very interesting draw for all our lot. Aftershock probably has the best draw out of all our robots but will have dad driving it :rofl:
Inertia XL should have a really good test although I now have some time to work out how to deal with Buzzbar after our encounter last year :uhoh:
Matt also seems fairly happy with Heatwave's line up too.
I'm really looking forward to this one now just hope Inertia gets the chance to cause some damage! :proud:
If its anything like its Antweight counterpart, it ought to :)
FYI: the Antweight Inertia won AWS 34 a few weeks ago
Hope you manage to make it along with your drum Calum, been looking forward to seeing it in action for a while. Drums ftw! 8)
Ill hopefully have my drum done too. (Project E-1337) its down as project-e on the draw, dunno why. Thought id give this whole vert thing a try. Oh and i cant show you any pics of it yet, all i have is 2 wheels and some drum teeth finished at the moment, Im well prepared as usual. Its going to be a rush job next week to get it done after work.
Oooh nice, didn't realise that one was yours.
So the drum attendance has doubled in the last hour? Awesome 8)
How big is your whole robot jamie and how big is boner and how bigs calums drum bot?
must............resist........making........jokes. ............. :uhoh:
Why call your robot Boner if not for the endless innuendoes? That one is a gift Gary :mrgreen:
a lil too easy 8)
So far no ones predicted wins for Tron and only one for Seraph I'm hurt :sad:
yeah gary should be good, i've got alot of work to do to it thou, built the chassis almost 2 years ago lol needs a total rewire and new batteries i wana put a scorpian in it instead of the electronizes and i wana get some hardox on it. weights 10kg without any drum shud be about 2kg ishh i think gonna probabily have to book a day off work to give myself time to do anything to it lol
tom its like 30 wide and 30 long without any drum on it
and yeah jamie i hope i get to use it aswell its got to the point now, where i don't care about what state it comes home in cos its been under my bed for 2 years and i wana make a new one
Lol I'm running electronizes happily :) Think boner's disc weighs around the 3.5kg mark. I'll give it a weigh later and let you know. Size wise, roughly 350mm by 350mm.
Time for the intimidation to begin....

Mine should be similar in size. But my drum will only be like 95mm spinning dia at the tips. And only about 180mm wide. And will be made from ali tube. Should be around 1.5 kg. Just making whole bot out of stuff I have already. I'll only have about 100 quid in it so doesn't matter if it gets smashed
just realised this is a week sooner then i thought it was lol! have even less time to do anything now.
i've got no videos of mine doing anything at all :P havnt drove it in over a year either and im probabily going to be fitting the drum the morning of the event! nothing of mines ever ready intime (N)
Drumroll 2 is 360mm wide by 420mm long but that's from tip to tail of the armour. Effective size (i.e. where all the parts are) is roughly 250mm wide by 300mm. Drum weighs around 2.1kg, so quite a bit lighter than before but hopefully still with enough inertia to get some good hits. So are those other teeth you posted pictures of on FB for your feather then Tom? Thought they might have been for a beetle.
Boner's drum should be around the 4.2kg mark - it's a beast.
I'm cutting it fine as well, I have just taken the robot apart to get the spikes straightend and the 360 hole welded up. the robot works now, but I need to adjust the gyro so it doesn't get 'the shakes' like last time.
Hello Everyone
The event is looking great so far and there are some fantastic battles in the pipeline. If anyone entered has not yet filled in the team passes form could you please do so today by 2pm at the latest please. It is really important as we are reaching the deadline for exhibitor passes to be printed. Emails will be sent to those who are yet to submit their forms.
Thank you and looking forward to the event!
Just a quick question. Some robots are seeded, 4 and 9 and missing. I guess 4 was going to be Juggernaut, who was meant to be No. 9?
360 I think?
Tron seeded 10 :mrgreen: Beauty 2 ....... Not seeded :uhoh: :uhoh:
yes it was a pritty bad championship last year for B2
from number 1 to LAST, lifes tougth at the top
I always thought Kaizer was last with its league score of 2.Quote:

John, your Sig just got ironic.::lol::
Went out the competition in it's first fight if i remember right? Quite a nasty hit from a disc being rammed into the back of it.
I wouldn't know I've never been there :uhoh: :uhoh: :uhoh:Quote:
