>>> 23rd-27th August / The RR UK Championships 2

Great event. Im dead tired but it was worth it.
Good to see the sport is live and kicking. Thanks Roaming Robots!
Glad weve got tan working for the final malee.
The weather wasnt all that bad either.
Speedcontrollers: Smoke em if youve got them :)

Any more piccies any1???

Me and Dad got loads of really good photos of Saturday and Sunday that I will upload as soon as they are edited below about 13 meg each. At the moment we have about 1GB of photos - not much use for a web site! :)

Well done to Turbulence & Captain Scarlet!

Did the Toyotabot make it to the event?

No. Its still on the road somewhere

Cant remember anything toyota nor IG-88 :sad:

Congrats Dave & James! Deserving victories all round.

I went off in something of a huff on Saturday after being beaten by the arena floor (which Im still not too happy about), but good to hear it all went well on Sunday. At least I had a chance to try my hand a sailing in galeforce winds (and capsizing a few times :blush:)

Had a great time thanks! A great advertisement for the Robo Challenge kits, almost through my TX in the air when i won lol!

Great fights especially on the saturday and sunday. Well done to Dave and Ed on winning the championship, very well desevred and some great driveing in all thier fights!

Thanks again and we look forward to the next years championship!

James......Venom
Uk Featherweight Champion 2006

I had a great time there aswell and was happy to see everyone again. I got defeated by the new champion so i can live with it. :) well done Dave. I hope to see everyone again in Portsmouth.

Thanks to everybody who worked so hard to make this event happen. And everybody who travelled far... our Scottisch friends, our American friends. Biiiig hug.

Hope to have my own robot in competition next year. In an arena with a more dry and sturdy floor (sorry, people moaning so much about the state of the floor -deteriorating even as you looked at it- it had to be mentioned, it messed up quite a lot of really good fights. There are issues about the arena, but these will be discussed in a more serene frame of mind and preferably not smeared out on this forum.).
I appreciate the hard work of the crew, and the organisation of the fights went as smoothly as my hand over my kittens pelt (who, needless to say, was celebrating the moment we got home. Apparently hes missed us. A lot.) and the turnover of the robots went as fast as said kitten can run away from mischief. All in all that was a marvelous achievement to see happen each and every day of the competition !

Regarding pictures:
At a rate of 15 to 30 minutes per folder (one for each day) my pictures are being transferred from the old (t)rusty laptop to the pc. Then I will have close to 4 gigabites to sort through and get the best pictures out. Then they will be uploaded. I dont know where yet but Ill let you know.

If anyone has got a decent picture of swarm or hornet can they send me them?

In my rush to get the bots ready I never got any pics!
