so no friday then i take it?
Quote from previous post:
We are doing a show on 2 days at thinktank, however only the saturday we are doing a competition, it does give the one date on the sign up page sorry for the confusion
If you have planned, and want to come to thinktank on the friday we dont have a problem with that - we have a couple of teams coming along to test their robots and to see the Razer demos that will be going on throughout the day. And also to look around the museum :)
I havent got the email either. My adress is: james.davies93@btinternet.com
Thanks
iv sent you it james
for others heres the email just incase the coopers aint by there email tonight or here
Times
Please arrive between 8:30am and 9am as we would like to get everybody tech checked early and most importantly we have to allocate people with tag team partners if they haven€™t already sorted one.
Exhibition starts around 10:30am
Finishes Around 3:45pm
We will try and sort out a dinner break in the middle somewhere.
Venue
Thinktank
Millennium Point
Curzon Street
Birmingham
B4 7XG
On arrival please come round the back of thinktank and load into the goods lift. Once unloaded everybody must park their cars back in the main car park. If everybody could give us the receipts for their parking we will be able to claim the money back after for you.
Food
Please bring a packed lunch with you. Some drinks and light refreshments may be available throughout the day. There are a few cafes that will also be open in thinktank on the day. ALL food and drink must be kept in the allocated areas only. No food or drink in the pit area please.
Competition Format
Saturday€™s event will be the first pure tag team competition and we are really looking forward to how it works out. It will be a knockout style to the end, some with one on one teams and some with multiple teams so should be exciting. If you lose straight away there will be losers melees to get yourselves back into the competition. The Winners and runners up will both receive custom made Tag-Team trophies!
The exact format will be given to you when we know how many teams will be competing.
We look forward to seeing you all there. If you have any problems call james on his mobile
thanks:)

Hiya guys,
Cracking event, it was great to be on the other side of the fence so to speak, i am looking forward to 2008 for more of the same.
For an old machine who has sat for the last 2 years in my workshop as an empty shell after the days of litle spinner and scorpion junior takin chunks out of it time after time,it doesnt do bad..... and with a little bit of help from beauty !!!
I must also thank my daughter Sienna who helped build the robot, sat on my kitchen table annoying me, i mean helping me :)
Hope you run it again next year ill be there.
john
A nice event, and very happy with a 4 year old G3 making the final (along side LH2) - it shows you cant keep an old hand down! But a slight upgrade is needed.
Congradulations to rip and beauty, your performance was strong throughout :) and thanks for all the nice comments about 360, just a shame i couldnt get it spinning after all the work thats gone into it, it should be going tomorow, ill try get a vid online :)
well done little john, you had a strong tag team partner LOL, after seeing your fight with Hornet i really want to have a go against Beauty, if we dont get drawn against each other perhaps we can arrange something :wink:(perhaps we need a challenge belt?) next spinner event is may (as we are so dangerous we can only come out a few times a year) well done
(Message edited by ady on December 30, 2007)
ye a challenge belt sounds cool actually or challenge trophy anything. ye ill fight you - id fight ne1 as the only thing we dont have spare of is a ram that good but its in the making
spektrum is most expensive thing and its on the top , LH missed it tho which was lucky but jonno was there to save me :)
and ye the spinners now are to dangerous , i really like 360 tho lol as everybody does , looks mega tough as it was in arena with the house robot it was smashing into it , getting picked up n dropped - mint robot
the next event will be very good
Finally got home 30 minutes ago.
What an event, a big thanks to all the robochallenge crew for putting on yet another fantastic event. Smoothly run, well organised and great food :)
Well done to beauty and Rip for winning the title. I suppose if I had to go out of the comp at least it was to the winners!
Thanks for the comments on hornet 2. I will hopefully be down at the next spinner comp with a few improvements.
Distance to travel - 700 miles round trip
cost of machine - Into the thousands
The look on someones face when you put a big dent in their hardox.....priceless :)
and into the side of the arena! i just watched the vid
will b on youtube later tonight
Lol that bit polycarb is in my hall :)
Could some one post who came 1st 2nd and 3rd please
1st: Beauty + Rip
2nd: Little Hitter + G3
Was there a 3rd place?
Cheers David
There wasnt a third place playoff so we dont know who came third out of Whirlpool & Little Flipper or Cyberon & wedgie
uploading all the fights to youtube now will take a while lol
Just really echoing the sentiments of others on here but a massive thanks to all the Robochallenge crew who once again put on a fantastic event! For an event that had so many robots competing and five hours in which to do it, it felt really relaxed.
Congratulations to Beauty and RIP for taking first place, and to G3 and LH2 for coming runners-up.
Thanks to Gary and Hornet 2 for partnering Drumroll and being more than capable of dishing out damage for both of us when Drumrolls drum was ineffective.
Thanks also to Trevor helping me out by giving me a speedo when my Electronize stopped working (still got to find out what was wrong with it) and thanks to Pete for lending me a failsafe for Drumrolls Victor (still got it btw Pete, you guys had disappeared by the time the last whiteboard was done - if you email me your address Ill get it posted back to you)
Looking forward to the next event, but I need to fine-tune a few parts of Drumroll first :)
Piccies hopefully online later tonight
Thanks again all who made it a great end to the year :)
Uploaded some pics: http://www.robotslive.co.uk/thinktank.htmhttp://www.robotslive.co.uk/thinktank.htm
ill upload all my vids over night as dnt wonna lag on xbox
I see you got a couple of pics of 360 there, nice.
