I've got a Fiat punto & managed to get the best part of two MORGS in. How the funk do you manage to fill that with a featherweight?
Jamie, do you know a burglar that carries an adjustable spanner?

Most burglars probably can't even spell Spanner let alone work out how to use an adjustable one... I mean seriously, they are tricky, you have to hold it and tighten it at the same time!
Oh and we are lucky with a Honda Accord :-D Though its going to be funny when I have my own car and its the size of a Baked Bean tin
Four tonne motorhome anyone?
RCZ. Arriving in style 8)
Need to make sure I have enough space to bring the trophy home
Dream on Cairns ;)

I will be going on My Bike. No worries. :)
:lol:
Will post all details up when confirmed by yes it is an early start. Regarding leaving equipment there, as per last year due to the tight space only competing teams may have pit space. Passes are valid for all 3 days so if you are not competing please leave you robots but do come watch the battles and enjoy the exhibition.
Today @ 3pm, we will be announcing the Qualifying days for the 2013 UK Championships Live on our Facebook page! Make sure you are there :)
Is this just who's on what day, not who is fighting who yet?
Yep, It will show you which half are on Friday and which on Saturday. It will give you a much better idea of who you might be up against :)
Thats right, then the live draw will take place on Tuesday at 3pm :)
The Qualifying days have now been announced! Check out who you could be against on our Facebook page. The live draw will take place on Facebook at 3pm on Tuesday! Best of Luck
Good chances this year for an all spinner heat!
if were fighting on sat do we still have to to turn up at 8 on fri or car we turn up a bit later :?:
You can just turn up on the Saturday if you are fighting only on the Saturday. If you want to watch the fights on the Friday you will be allowed access but you will not be able to bring your bots and kit in due to lack of space going on previous years.
Go team Saturday! 8)
gdgd just didn't fancy leaving the house at 6 in the morning :lol:
from the sat list my main fear is cobalt cos the lids of my bots are only aluminium
With 24 machines each day there is a 1 in 4 chance you will fight a specific robot. With around 7 spinners per day theres a 1.052 in 1 chance youll have to fight one... that means its going to happen :)
Bring all the spinners on we take them all on .
A heavily armoured rammer might not be such a bad idea after all :lol:
Actually, I hope I draw Predator. Not that I think it's a weak link James but it's the spinner that I think the forks will best against.
Yes, it has a Srimech. I hope to offer you great opportunity to show it off.
never mind your lid, it'd destroy anything it gets! you can have a strong lid but all it means is it'll crush you from the bottom lolQuote:

saturdays looking good, most of the more fearful robots are friday so fingers crossed i get through :)
Would be a good match with kaizer.
So now you know the days can you pick a top 5 from each? This may be increased to 7 however there would be less losers melees
Cobalt doesn't bother me in the slightest in terms of its biting ability, its the dragging around it could do well.
The 2 robots I hoped to avoid and they're both on my qualifying day. Pants.
Top 7 from each day, hmmm...
Saturday:
Explosion
Drumroll
TS2
Binky
Galactus
Ironside 2
Little Hitter 2
Friday: Can't say because its my qualifying day. I would hope I qualify but odd things happen.
My top 7 are
Friday:
NST
Boner
Inertia XL
720
Dizzy 101 (if what we are hoping to do works)
Predator
LF3
Saturday :
Explosion
Cobalt
Drumroll
Conker 2
Galactus
LS4
LH3
I'm pretty much scared about every other robot, but that's because i'm generally a pu$$y :lol: Mind you that does mean I don't mind who I fight, i'll be terrified regardless.
Tried to pick my top 5/7 from each day, but when I had rough lists, I'd look back through the entries and see another two or three that I think would make it through. It's going to be a tough year. I'm guessing 48 robots is the biggest FW championship there's ever been on these shores?
Just trying to find a good strong bin bag to bring NO TOY back in !!!!!!! :lol:
They do some 'Extra Thick' ones at sainsburys if you really are looking. We use them to keep all our crushed cans in before we take them to recycling. Can use them like 3 times before they begin to go.Quote:

James, what did you want the robot info for anyway?
Looking forward to seeing no toy in action. Great to see a new machine that's different
It's good to get pics and spec out there for everyone so we all know what the competition is like rather than not knowing who you may be up Against.
Only 2 days to go before the live draw! 3pm Robo Challenge Facebook!
Just booked into Tamworth Central Premier Inn again. The deal that Ann/Jarvis arranged at Castle Bromwich was great but as we're also staying on Thursday and Sunday night it actually worked out cheaper at Tamworth. Also means we can lend a hand at de-rig if needed guys.
Anyone else in at Tamworth yet? Need drinking buddies :P
Unfortunately for you Jamie, I'm in Tamworth Premier inn.
Just over an hour before the live draw on Facebook! :) Good Luck everyone
Aww nuts! I'm going to be in a meeting! :angry:
Need to have my phone on down by my side
Well there we have it the draw has been announced! Thank you everyone who watched it live on Facebook. Now with the battles posted can you work out what the league table will look like. Give us your predictions!
