Best bit of the show for me.......
.... everyone pulling together and working as a team to make it a great show, and one of the best Ive been to so far.
The format of these RR shows just needs a little work and I think we could all be on to a real winner !

i agree Ed. If this is the sign of things to come, then i cant wait for the winter tour!
Ive often found, in my short but reasonably live event (not necessarily of the robotic variety) filled life, that the camaraderie, temawork, and general desire to put on a good show is much better. Its not so much the organisers having to look after roboteers and audience, as it is at larger events, as it is the roboteers and organisers being as one and putting on a show for the audience. Thats not to say the roboteers dont help at bigger events, but its much easier at smaller ones :-)
Anway, sounds like a great event- have heard great reports from all involved- would have liked to have come but its a bit far to go from the south coast without a robot :-)
Very disapointing event for us on the Saturday. Not anything to do with the show that was great, just our robot blew 2 speedos in 2 fights. Wanted it to be the last test before the big one but looks like weve got a lot of work to do. It worked better on sunday and had a great fight with Ripper even though the flipper button fell apart.
Still blew another speedo on the weapon in the last fight as well, but picked up some Dogs bollocks speedos yesturday.
Best bit of the weekend for me is watching that kids face light up when he was picked to drive a robot against vortex and then standing there while Ed destroyed it :)
Nothing like building up their confidence and then totally crushing it in front of a paying audience :)
