Can't 100% guarantee but we intend to attend this with our feather. When we're more certain I'll sign up.
Tomahawk will be ready for maidstone ... So Hades and Tomahawk will be there ... watch out for the belgium invasion ...
I´m staying over for 2 days ( sat. and sunday )... hotel or B&B already know ... ?
We are at the days inn Maidstone Saturday night !
Tomahawk ... As in the axe robot ?
If so then, be great to see it up an running again !!
Was it PK who owned it before ?
yep ... but tomahawk got a new design because with the new weaponsystem/dimensions we could´t use the old frame/chassis ...
Unfortunately I now won't be able to bring minor tom due to money and time restraints but i'll still be bringing 1 or 2 ants.
how late can we sign featherweights up as i'm waiting on some speed controllers
Signed up for this one, always look forward to it.
Hope the robots don't get too badly wrecked at the event on the previous week end in Swansea. :uhoh:
You an leave it until the week before the event as that's where the last minute planning starts, and emails sent out .
signed up my 2 FW cant wait to give them a proper test run
Got my ants ready now :) , does anyone know if dave will have the antweight spinner arena at maidstone or not ?
I have a week free between MMM and Maidstone so I will endeavor to get it spinner proofed by then :)
Thats good to hear, will have to bring a couple of spinners along with me so I can have a go if I get a spare 5 minutes :)
Ive signed up my fw flipper for this event, i hope i wasnt too late :uhoh:
Will sign up soon with T2, we're still on the road and internet isn't easy.
how did it go?
T2 did very well; fought a lot of bouts, replaced as many motors, came 2nd or 3rd (I think) in the main event and scored the best goals at the Rockey-match.
BTW: I'll be at Maidstone, to support the other DRG-Roboteers.
I'll be at Maidstone, to support the other DRG-Roboteers :?:
I don´t think so ... you´re gonna drive Tomahawk ... :roll:
Oops, that was meant to be a nasty surprise :-)
Bring Midnight Oil if you can :)
We came second in the main comp, John, and scored a few goals in the hockey on the second day. Drove the forks into (under) the arena side in our first battle of the knockout-style competition, so we went out of that unfortunately.
Overall it was a great event, as mentioned though we're going through motors and gearboxes like no tomorrow. Not entirely sure why. T1 survived with the same setup much better. :?
Mario has been great and has provided us with a new fix for our lifter motor sprocket shaft whatsit, so the weapon should be fully functional (barring another chain break!) for Maidstone.
See you all on Sunday. :)
As I want to actually have a robot competing this event I've been stripping the 4-bar flipper out my feather and canabalised it into something that can actually be fought, Before it was overweight and the CO2 mechanism wasn't finished.
Going to decorate rather.... interestingly for this event.
Is it possible if thor , scorpion , thz or other axebots incl. Tomahawk have a fight together ... ?
We can arrange it !! :-)
Book your tickets quick for Robots: Extreme Wars Live in Maidstone this weekend. Not many tickets left, looks like another sell out 2 shows :-) www.roamingrobots.co.uk
I´m asking this because I´m not coming al the way over to be flipped out in 10 sec. because we never drove the new TMWHK and used the axe ... mind me ... I don´t mind fighting Tiberius or a simular good robot , but just not a flipper ... For Hades ; Bring it on ... !!!
What time should I turn up with my ants ?
I found out at Swansea that Project X was 13.9Kg. Have successfully drilled about twenty 15mm holes in the bulkheads and removing two of the scoop strengtheners from the back, I have lost about 130g, but can't think of anything else to do :? . Will this be a problem, or can it still compete? As for Skyfall, with the new Gimsons fitted, I have no idea how much it weighs as I have no good scales. Last time it was 12.6Kg, so shouldn't be too big a difference, but you never know, so I may have to remove some stuff from inside to keep it in weight at the event.
First time they're both coming to an event because I finally have someone to drive Project X when I'm driving Skyfall. Two of my close freinds are coming to have a go at driving it, I'm sure they'll be good at it as, just like me, they play too many video games :lol: .
can we get away with 13.65kg or on a fw or do i need to loose the 0.05
