will be good to see scorpian lem running, only saw it at an event once earlier in the year,(cant remember where) when it send smouldering batteries flying around the arena.
That was at FW UK champs in Leicester. Good fun that event :)
I am gonna be up all night trying to get Satanix running, so, to Graeme, You may wanna arrange a back-up partner
can little hitter get under 10.4kg lol? i can be a back up partner.
jonno i hope you were joking when u said u were taking rip for abit of fun! this is a serious competition :-)
is it john on sarahs account? do u mean by how many walls beauty can hit - is how many robots we can flip out and hit the walls? :) because I cant wait to see this more then you :D
jonno beaware cus ur going out in final :rofl:
and adrian what i meant was that a robot what can do serious damage cant not go in full on because its going to cause damage imo and with 1 hit with most spinners not the robot is going to be dead - well i no beauty will be thats im gonna either hide behind rip or your going out straight away - havent decided yet :lol:
i look forward to the spinner vs spinner fights - there always fun especially with the spinners you lot are building - its going to be one expensive weekend
young mister lear. you completely misunderstood. we meant how many pieces of beuty can hit the walls at the same time.
that was dad but this is me :-)
all i can say is it will be an interesting competition, their are some great looking machines coming along. Thats ok John i have to decide if i come up against you whether to run on 12 or 24v. :wink: decisions, decisions lol
i say go on 12v cus when i flip u out i dont want it to be spinning to fast because you might go flying - well ur going flying but we want to take care of the poor lights which r going to be above the robots lol
beauty does good at robochallenge events
we came 2nd last dec and we won euro champs and were going to win this
we came 2nd as my dad messed up and we had a leak and we won euro champs because hanibilto? wasnt running and im going to win this 1 because jonno is just a quality driver and will be defending me all the time
:-) just a few records for you all
i hope rip is nearly ready and tested jonno! :)
little John, Dont forget that ploughbot is running (with 360 :D which is still being built lol) and you came second to it last year, and I wasnt running at the euros :D
James and I have been serioiusly busy the last week, but e-mails will go out as soon as possible.
jonno can go for 360 and im going straight for u! revenge for last year :mrgreen:
New tag team partnership, Scorpian and DB5. Bring it on!
Change of plan. Just spoken to Graeme. G3 is the LH2 team back up. And new team of Alpha & Little Spinner.
as i have no team partner now, are you still up for a partner adrian with tuff luck 2 i think its 8.6 kg its deffinatly under 9kg
matt thats fine, dont let me down!:wink:,
john, remember the damage you took from dragonstrike at one event? nothing against tonys machine as it is really good, but i have alot heavier disk and more speed :wink:, their is no worries that my robot will break or the disk will stop so you need to throw me out of the arena and quickly. i hope their wont be excuses if you dont win, and blame your poor dad lol. Their are alot of worryingly powerful machines at this event and i would put mine way below them all. i am worried by these way more than yours, sorry.
if you do win john then fair dos as you have alot of good competition.
john why are you not going for 360 yourself? poor john lol

:mrgreen:
i would go for 360 but iv gotta get ploughbot bk and then ill help jonno out if he hasnt already sorted it
at the uk champs my dad wernt there so he couldnt help fix so we had some stupid plastic on which we new would shatter
you should be scared of the flippers not the spinners! spinners r easier to beat
if i dont win then its either jonnos fault or my dads but it wont be jonnos cus his robot will work lol we will either had a wire come off the switch or a gas leak
we have ti we can use for armor which is from a certain heavy who doesnt take damage but thats if were under weight , its not for armor but could be used for it
flippers rule
I dont know what the hype about 360 is for, hardly anyone has seen it yet lol.
But that does mean 5 teams with 5 potentially nasty spinners!
its all about the flippers with these nasty rams - these discs what weigh 3KG dont mean nothing :D
spinners r harder to drive, take time to spin up , do more damage to themself , thats 3 main problems
flippers will flip any robot out from anywhere in robochallenge arena , we get gas leaks but ill make sure i dont , easy to drive
i cant wait :D

well another progress report...
I now have all the bits to put it back together, they are all in a bucket !! :)
If i get bored later i might start putting it together.... it wont be tested, thats what the arena is for :)
John
u very naughty boy jonno
Not going to bother with the trash talking but it is certainly shaping up to be an interesting event.
sorry little john, but flippers have their downsides also..... beauty can never actually damage another robot which is what i like to see, the other downer is flipper fights can finish far too quickly, and listen to the crowd when a spinner hits another machine, dont get me wrong i like flippers, they just bore me most of the times. At least i can say my robot is that dangerous that it can only go in 1 arena in the country at present. thats a good thing for me!
i see what you mean gary, i dont care if i go out in the first round lol, but i must admit a roboteer thats over confident i want to see go out in the first round! even if beauty flipped me out in the first round the first thing i would do is yawn LOL
little john, my spinner drives fine? obviously you havent had enough driving practice
(Message edited by ADY on December 24, 2007)
i havent drove a spinner but from what iv seen when spun up fast there everywhere
if i go out 1st round ill just go shopping or to omega sektor lol and then come make for final etc so w/e happens will be fun event
i no what you mean about audience but in serious competitions its not about audience and is all about winning imo
and i have to go in confident or i will have no chance of winning :)
i actually prefer spinners but i aint got 1 so i gotta love flippers
robot wars is about destroying other robot :D
im getting told off now - i just got my moms birthday wrong :rofl:
scorpion LEM is know scopion mag. as the LEM has to go in the big one. only started working on it today, its on the bench, all i have to do now is purt the drive in and wire it, halk hours work.
it has spun up, its goooooooooood. look forward to seeing you all. john, i accept your 3 problems, But
as has been said before, there are some good machines, some like mine i build in my shed, its going to break... either its self or you!
and then youve got to think about the people that know what they are doing and build good machines.
so good luck:lol:
John
i 4got about scorpion
ys there so many spinners? lol
im off to church like a good catholic :proud:
could you take flow! and savage out of the tag team comp please, my cousins needs alot more driving practice and also dont think the bot can take spinners just yet :)
right now to finish mine, gave cousin his feather tonight when opening prezzys and his face lit up! he is well excited
Hehe I was giving a robot as a present today too Kenny, not to my cousin but to my dad! (Didnt know what else to get him besides every piece of Dr Who merchandise under the sun!)
I was cheeky with it though and gave it to him unfinished! :)
Still needed wired up (link etc installed) but just finished doing that about 20 minutes ago, and has now been christened Bullseye by its owner :)
Need to get hold of some kitchen chopping boards, which are very nice to work with, to bulk up the side panels that are only 5mm MDF at the mo, and drill clearance holes for the aerial and LED but other than that and a battery charge its ready for the whiteboards at Thinktank.
What times are we needed on Sat?
Dave
early :)
Times etc can be posted tomorow.
360 still hasnt had its first spin up:) and theres alot of work left to do on ploughbot to get it selfwright. wahoo!
Early!? 1pm do ya, Mr Goat? ... (Long Story)
G3 is almost there, made a new flipper arm - thanks to Little Flipper, and a beer barrel.
