2012 FRA UK Featherweight Championships by RoboChallenge

I also want to say thank you to everyone for your kind words on the audio intros, and to RoboChallenge for making a system to play them back.
I don't know who it was but they did a very neat job with the software to run it and I believe they were up until quite late Saturday night trying to get it going!
Thumbs up to Explosion for ranking the same as last year, now I don't have to update yours! Thumbs down to Flow and LH entering the comp at the last minute and then going on to do very well since me and Kane had to very quickly make yours up on the day!

Originally I was going to offer the samples up to be bought by the teams to help cover my costs, but given that many people didn't get to hear theirs I'm going to upload a folder with them all so people can take as they please. If you fancy donating some cash for yours then my paypal addy is p.j.belcher@hotmail.co.uk and would be much appreciated.

Does anyone know a neat way to upload a folder of many files for public download?

What a really great event,many thanks to all at Robochallenge for putting it on.

Congratulations to Sam on winning and to Michael and Grant on second and third. Wendy Alex and myself are so pleased to see David Weston win the Annihilator,well done mate.

There were some superb fights over the three days,some great banter,lots of new machines and loads of new faces.Thanks to everybody staying at the hotel we were in for making the evenings so much fun,superb company.

Finally about us. Alex finished 13th with Tiny Toon, I finished 10th with 4 4 Toon and Wendy 6th with Rip-Off, so we came home very pleased and satisfied.

See you all soon

i echo this great to finally meet Pedro, the lonely bear, R2D2 and C3PO :P

A massive thanks to James, Grant and everyone on the RoboChallenge crew for such a fantastic, and I'm sure what will become a truly memorable event. This has to be up there in one of the best events I've ever been to, even if the most stressful event of the year!

Congratulations to Sam for a deserved win with NST, certainly the best spinner I have ever seen, so very well done. Other congratulations go to Team Big Nipper and Grant for coming 3rd with LH2, Kenny for doing so well for a first event with Cobalt, and Dave for a long deserved piece of success. Not to mention Will for the nasty slot he put in our flipper arm, and Sam again for destroying the shell, spare arm and armour, although I am happy that I atleast came the closest to breaking NST. :) Also a big thanks to Dave Moulds for re-welding our arm after Inertia cracked the welds on Friday.

Very pleased with coming second twice in a row, but gutted that once again we just missed out on winning the whole competition, atleast I didn't get stuck this year! Explosion will be back as soon as possible, hopefully for Aylesbury, and will be coming back next year to hopefully make the final for the third year running, and hopefully win it for a change!

Thanks alot to James, Grant and the whole RoboChallenge team for putting on a superb event!
And also thanks to all the roboteers for being so friendly.


We had a really good time and were suprised that laser worked all the time and the only problem was the drill moving in its mount


A massive well done to Michael for coming 2nd with explosion, it was a excellent final, Grant and the big nipper guys with a 3rd from LH2, Kenny with cobalt and most of all Sam with NST for doing superbly and being the first ever spinner to win the UK champs

I have got 70 videos that I am uploadinbg to youtube, so should be done tommorow and I have got 150+ photos of the event and GSL.
