Even the mighty Drumroll couldn't make it through its Unobtanium like properties! Oh wait... it could... :-P
EDIT: Possibly the best moment of 2013 for me was seeing the look of shock on Jamie's face after that fight. He assumed it was all Titanium! The MDF stood up better than the Ti.
Glad to see that superb weight loss hasn't taken the edge off your reactions Mouldy they were a few lucky hits, they were only flesh wounds.
Who says that The Toonimator is still the same spec? Don't forget that that version of Toonimator cost £12.98 to build + a few loan parts. This year the build cost is at least twice that amount ....
Sadly and with regret this will be the first year since 2008 that 4 4 Toon will not be competing.
Boneyard coming to crush it up!
Well this is the first year that there has been a World FW championship so technically there's no previous competitive history to be broken ;)Quote:

Drumroll II confirmed. Unsurprisingly Reaver didn't make the cut but is on the reserve list and will be there for whiteboarding anyway.
You bringing Onyx this year? Missed the chance to fight it last time.
DCH2 is in. Just one robot from Team Bitza this year.
IceStorm is in
Long shot but IceStorm isn't armed with a liquid oxygen gun by any chance is it Ed? ;-) Or have you borrowed some guns from Mr Freeze?Quote:

In my opinion it should be everybody qualifying over two days. It makes it a level playing field so everybody has the same chance to draw everybody. It is The World Championship. If you are entering be prepared to be there for four days. There is enough time to arrange hotels etc.
Just inquiring as I will have to get the time booked off work but im sure all will come out soon enough
Yep. I had to send a begging e-mail to my Regional Manager as in my role within the company I am not meant to take any time off in April.
All paid up :). Most of my stuff showed up so hopefully there's lots of time for testing. So keen!

Also any place you could point me that has a description of how the event goes wrt format and so on. I'm largely piecing it together from last year's vids :p
I don't know which I'm more worried about, you using that as armour on Decimator, or you using it to test Decimator on...
For the tournament format, (last year anyways) each machine had 4 x 3 way fights, points were awarded: 4 for win by KO, 3 for win by Judges Decision, 2 for second, 1 for last and 0 for not making it in the arena
The top however many machines then went into head to head stage where it was flat out 1v1, but were allowed a route back into the competition via a losers Melee which had 3 or 5 machines in depending on the round. I think there were 5 rounds and then the semi finals and grand finals, with a 3rd place playoff
I'm on my phone at the minute but I'll draw up something more detailed when I get home from uni if that helps!
Where'd you get a sheet of Armox from? I thought it was not sold to normal folks, just military contracts and the like.
Glen works for a military training robot company - most bot builder's dream job!
Mario has some too, Defectors wedge is made from it.Quote:

Only need a little bit of it for armour, the sample size is plenty sufficient. Work would kick my ass if I took any new/old stock haha. Cheers for the event run down as well. 3 way robot fights are always fun.Quote:

Im just checking that all teams have received their emails ok? Entry will be closed at the end of the month and any outstanding entries will be opened to the reserves list. Most teams have completed their entries, we are just waiting for the last few.
I'll do it soon í ½í¸„Quote:

Once you go through paypal you click return to Robo Challenge and select your machine. I have you down but what email address did you use for paypal?
I did that, but my browser was being funny so not sure if it went through alright! And my email I used was FlagCaptured (at) live.co.uk
I'll go check my emails again, see if there's anything that's ended up in the wrong folder haha
Ive got it all ok.
I might have cocked that one up too.
Also, overhead bar. Do you need the link in the shaft (above the bar) again or am I allowed to have it in the body where it can be mounted better and not be so vulnerable. I got some feeling that I would be okay to do this but best check with the EO first. Can send pictures of stuff if needs be.
Thanks.
If your bars spinning and you cant stop it would you be able to safely reach for the link?
Would you remove it even if its sticking out the top if the bar is at full speed? Probably not.Quote:

So much innuendo :lol:
In-your-endo ;-)Quote:
