9th oct 2011 - Roaming Robots Portsmouth

9TH October - Portsmouth

The return to the Mountbatten Centre will be special this year with the new arena, theres already lots of excitement about it.

Just a quick note to roboteers, please login to the RR website and sign up if you are coming, I know a couple of robots which haven't yet, it does help with planning things.

The format will be the usual.

Each show will be a competition within its own right, so heavyweights get two bites of the cherry with two trophies to fight for.
Feather weights, every fight will count where judges will be looking at how well you do and the trophy goes to the best one of the day !!

Really looking forward to the weekend but I have one problem.The doctors have diagnosed frayed tendons in my left shoulder and so therefore I am not allowed to lift or push/pull anything heavy.As a result I will greatfully accept any help on sunday lifting the robot back into the arena if needed and to help load into the pen before the fights.

Many thanks

Clive

SA looks amazing, how did it perform?

Again another great show.

Cherub won it's first fight then reverted to type :uhoh: :uhoh:
Some one kindly drove Tron it seemed to go OK. didn't run for the rest of the shows as Toby felt a little shy :oops:
Seraph was everywhere in and out of the pit hitting every robot including Major Damage and Matilda but still didn't win :cry:
We had a great time and looking forward to next weekend, as always A very big thanks to all the RR crew for a fab time

From all at Team Saint

I had great fun, there was a problem with SA's radio system at first, but in the end we got the drive working, however, for some reason we where unable to get the axe and srimech working. Thankyou to everyone who helped us, I really appreciate it. Hopefully SA will be fully working for the next event, I still thoroughly enjoyed driving it, even though it got flipped and stuck in both fights. :)

Thanks again to everyone for a really good weekend- nice to see all the hard work pay off with loads of people in the audience.

Maelstrom had some trouble in the first show with the drive cutting out- got it sorted for the second show and it was back on top form throwing 2 robots out and winning the competition.

Also well done to Thor and Explosion for winning the other competitions as well as Toxic for keeping hold of the Team Bud Trophy!

Thanks again and see you all this weekend!

Is SA competing again under new owners?

Yep its Michaels, who is a part of Team Robot Avengers (Me, Matt, him and Ceri)

sweet, never seen that robot in the flesh

Well done to the winners, of what was another brilliant event.

The 12pm show had a few seats left and we had to turn people away for the 330....and that was after putting extra chairs out!!!!
8 Years of robot events at the mounbatten centre and still going strong !!

Thanks to the roboteers who came and made the fights so exciting, ive never had so many emails saying how brilliant the show was, I think its up there with the best of them.

The only downside is the hardwork, with the new Everything it is hard work for the crew of which they did a sterling job under pressure, so we need to look at that.. ill see if the xfactor rodies are free for maidstone. !!

See you at Maidstone, where it looks like it could be another sell out !!
