Haha, I love that your robot is so compact certain connectors are too large.
Got loads to do to BitzaWood yet going to be a busy week before the champs!
I thought we had all agreed this was boners year? Guess you didn't get the memo james
We got the memo Gary, but winning wasn't on it? I thought it said Boner's year to knacker another set of batteries, blow a speedo and break another motor
And to have the link fall out*
twice*
A victory for Gary is going a year without knackering some batteries....
All these issues will be sorted this year. Gona be boner on that trophy
Best not, its a public exhibition Gary! And I mean that not in the nudest way...
Well the drive side all works now. just got to find somewhere to put the weapon rx hmmm
Gary's intro is proving fun to make..... There's no good way to phrase it, the robot's still called Boner....
Wasn't grant or James pronouncing it as Bonner at one point?
Bonner kebab
Disaster! Ball screw has just sheared for the arms. Need to get a beefier thread so just ordered a new one from our sponsor. Need to get it finished in 2 weeks as well as getting everything else done argh.
So terribly disappointed to hear that. Just tipping Predator on it's side will be very unsatisfactory.
while its off change that motor for something that actually fits lol... Dont let him put it back together with that motor Grant!
I'm trying Dave! haha - that bulbas lump on the back is more inappropriate to show off in public as it is saying Gary's entering the Arena with a Boner.
Just started to work on the rebuild of Inertia, the new drive setup fits although it now means there are 4 speed 900 motors in there. I'm gonna spend this evening and tomorrow getting some more done so there should be more to show soon :)
Speed 900 drive and Speed 900 weapons, that sounds fast and deadly! When you hit things they are going to break!
Speed 900s? Pah old school tech. I'll be sure to bring a couple to sell to you when I break em ;)
:) sometimes old school tech works best ;)
Although if you have any speed 900s up for grabs bring them anyway :)
I have a half dozen or so genuine ones. Keeping them for the time being
Just over 2 weeks until the opening of the UK Championships. All the audio intros are done and the arena is getting a slight make over. The Judges are almost confirmed. Kane Aston will be leading the panel and running the event computer/scoring. He will Be joined by Wayne Cummings who is excited to be on the Judging team, we may even get to see basher! Final judge just needs to be confirmed and should know very soon.
Predator is further from being finished now.... Lot of work to do but fingers crossed will be up and running.
Looking forward to what will be an awesome Championships!
Wayne didn't fancy entering Basher then?
Is there an info pack being sent out soon?
I remember Basher from a couple of years back, mighty axe!
Going for a nice relaxing colour scheme with a feature wall and contemporary fireplace?Quote:

Forgive my ignorance if I am wrong, but wasn't it Buzzbar that did the most damage ? Ripping the axe off and such?
I'll forgive you for being wrong dave :)
*Slinks off to Youtube to watch videos of the event*
I don't think searching 'Boner Basher' is going to bring up many favourable results......
:rofl:
That was brilliant PJ :rofl:
Lol it's the name that keeps on providing hilarity
Event info will be sent out on Friday. If anyone doesn't receive theirs please let me know. As far as arena refurbs go the main thing is re coating the floor and a new central sticker. Also removing all the polycarb inner screens and replacing them with steel box section along the top.
Does that mean there's no material in between? Like the HW arenas?
Yes thats right. We did think of adding new polycarbonate how ever the extra cost doesn't give many benefits so we are going with the box section which should give the walls a longer life and make the arena easier to maintain and breakdown. New floor stickers too!
Explosion will love it, Michael could make it all the way this year.
So if you've a short robot you can just drive out?
Flippers already have a great advantage in that arena!
There is still a steel kick plate around the bottom, but there is now an air gap between the top of the plate and the bar at the top.
Sounds like the perfect think to get, say, a powerful bar spinner caught in. :wink:
