Friends, roboteers, fellow members of the MLDF.
Im in need of your help.
My team mate John has had a bit of a serious family crisis and is unable to attend. The problem is that he has our tent, stove, BBQ etc, etc.
If there are any members of the MLDF who have a spare space in their tent on Saturday night for a well behaved, house-trained roboteer it would be very much appreciated! (The other option is for me to sleep in the car!) Im quite prepaired to provide food / beer in lieu of rent!
I have my own sleeping bag, matress, Super Soaker etc, so all I need is a roof over my head.
Many thanks,
Geoff.
Hi Geoff, Ive got a three man tent all to myself ,so your more than welcome.
And Ill be there from Friday so you wont even have help put it up !
:)GORD
Hehehhe

Tom
Thank goodness I wasnt around to offer Geoff a roof over his head for the night.....
Share with him? - therell be talk :)
And hell probably be too frightened to fall asleep :proud:
It is very dark Tom...
Video was taken at 11:30ish... It was very dark.
I dont think mine will be done in time, so i may just have to buy LOADSA water bombs, hehe
It looks as though its going to piddle down :sad:
Can someone save me a dry spot to pitch my tent on Saturday?
I suggest someone go and lie in the space until I arrive :)
With much regret, Team Revolution are no longer able to attend this event.
Best of luck to everyone, hope the weather turns out OK for you.
Roger.
robots ready all we need to do is put all our things in the car aswell has a motorbike :)
thanks
kenny
Many apologies, but I wont be able to attend with Cayenne. Ive hit a problem I just cant fix in time, Ive been at it solidly since 9am and only achieved a headache. I might come down and see if theres anything I can do to help to make up for it.
Well day ones gone fine except for the weather which has been a disappointment with Rain and Sunny spells its not a good combination as after the rain because of the surrounding fields you get a great smell of the countryside in the Robot Hall but its not a complaint, it cannot be helped lol.
Also everything seems to be safe and sound just the usual smoking electronics.
As for us we only managed one battle today with Conundrum which was the first featherweight battle off the day where we sustained very little damage but the drum did fall off of the bot and we have completely not traction but after working on it today that was quickly fixed in half an hour or so then we missed the other battles because we went for a trip to Newark town centre.
Overall its been good meeting people, the crowd seems reasonable and Kevin and Co. (Sorry forgot the womans name) are doing a great job on the mics.

Ha! Id made it there and came out alive wifout getting wet (only by rain)...
Thanx Mikey for getting me a pass, so he was spared from getting wet from my water pistol!
Yes, I have made myself known this time round, had fun chatting to all the roboteers, thanx for the good day! :)
Was disappointed Lee didnt turn up though! :sad:
*kept the pit pass as a nice memento* :lol:
Thanks for the fine organisation, Kevin, Jonno and all. Everything went smoothly as far as I could see.
I picked up my new full pressure ram (Thanks Mario). I hope that I will have a replacement robot working for Newark next year!
If you saw a second-hand item for sale yesterday on my table that you need, email me at home.
Jeremy

Dave
Stu ..Your head deserves to hurt. I bet Mikes chest hurts too..the way you flattened him in the bar.
Footie was good on Saturday night.. the stars being WJ flying down the wing and Alan and Trig sharing goalkeeping duties on our side. I think we won about 10:6 or something.
Oh, and the robot fights werent bad either. Cutlet got trashed on day one..thanks to 8,000rpm...yes 8,000rpm disk from Pimpanaught. I need some Titanium badly. Any for sales? (1.2mm ish).
Congratulations to Ploughbot on winning the feathers and Big Nipper for winning the heavy comp.
All we need for next year is decent weather. The sun came out at 4pm as we started to pack up....Typical!
Thanks to all our Dutch, Belgian, and German friends for coming over to both the Liverpool and Newark events. Its been really nice getting to know you all. See you in again in August at Nottingham.
Ian
good event
quite funny seeing people falling off my motorbike :)
10 - 6??? think you will find we won 10 - 9 mr lockhart!!
But, not a bad footballer for a man in his 50s :)
Dave
David,
How did you risk the temptation of mentioning your win over EWE2 whilst driving Leveller? There...Ive done it for you now.
And 50....yeah right! This 38 year old is in peak condition. ask Jonnos Mum what she thinks of my legs!
Ian
LOL oh dear.
Ne ways it was fun. Cant wait till next year already.
Mr Stu
Great event guys, shame my silly litle robot Havoc-hunter couldnt work in the arena:sad:
Well done to Grant for Ploughbots wins:)
carnt remeber much off the night before exsept drinking Marios throat skin remover....live and lern, eh:)
Dave moulds
Team Turbine
Sorry Grant, Wayne, Jamess and Sam but I think your bouncey castle party + my hang over might of been a bad idea for me, lol
hit them in the face they go down quicker :) lol
That was good, all the way through. Great fights (its different when youre only 2m away from the arena) and other stuff too. Shame I didnt get to see Tornados tesla coil, that wouldve been good. (if it went ahead)
Anyway, thanks to all involved, particularly Kev for letting me stay afterwards and to Joe for letting me drive Pimpanaught 1 into the pit twice (wasnt it only supposed to open if someone pushed the pit tyre? Good fun anyway). Ill definitely be back next year, and Ill probably go to another one before then. (Bristol looks the favourite)
David: I cant remember the exact score, but we definitely lost by at least 3 or 4 goals...
Another great weekend from Kev and the Roaming Robots crew, pity about the weather though, as Ian said cleared up just in time for going home.
Thanks also to Dave Young from Team Mad for driving Leveller both days and doing an exellent job, and managing to beat Tornado and Ewe 2. Looking forward to next years event, only hope Kev can orginise better weather next time.
Stephen - (wasnt it only supposed to open if someone pushed the pit tyre? Good fun anyway).
Pit opens when someone hits the button, or after 2 minutes of a 3 minute fight. Better driving next time :)
Mr Stu
owwwwww..... my head, neck, wrist, knee.......... ect...ect. Dave cant even touch me now without an oww of sum kind :sad: ho well i think the guys that landed on me head managed to pull me neck muscel and give me a slight concusion! hehehehe :P still i think i get the bravery award i mean scoreing a hatrick past dave and being in goal with blokes running at me (and andrews backside in me face most of the time defending ;) cheers andy :P) twas an O.K event but evening entertainment (i.e footie, head grows bigger) was cool didnt think id get that many peps playing :D.
BTW Karoline u met me i was the one dave was sitting on just incase u wanned to know :) the one with the bad fashion sence..... *coughs* i mean outragus sence :P

triggy
At last, I got a robot in the arena, even if it was a bit lacking, but it was the testing it needed.
Ian? Titanium? Pimp bounced off my scrapyard ally box section - Youre using the wrong stuff! :) Edit: Picture on the profile
Thanks to Kev, Jonno and the crew... this bot will be back...
Thank you Kev and Roaming Robots crew. Many thanks also to the crews that lent me bits of robot and tools so we could get going. Next time Ill bring a finished and tested robot, honest!
great event. still have a big lump on elbow from diving into the wheelie bin goal post!
Trig: scoreing a hatrick past dave not exactly hard, is it!
All robots have came back with a problem :sad: G3 has damaged a speedo, Alpha has stripped a gear (hence lack of push in last 3 fights) and merlin has broken motor. ah well! only one year to go till the next!
we went to 15 in the footy team Tilly 15-9 windy wonders aka torando storm
not bad for being 9-3 down
tilly forever
Thanks for a great event guys... Storm II seemed on form which makes a change for a charity event !
Well done to Kevin, Jonno, Stu, Steve et all for another fantastic event ! Where do we sign up for next years ?
