Only 2 weeks to go, can roboteers please make sure you sign up, we need to know numbers for the food (as it's meal vouchers rather than a buffet), if you don't sign up, you won't get fed!

Remember this event will also see the launch of the Robots Live Challenge Nut, with £50 and a Mini-Quadcopter up for grabs!
The annual FRA A.G.M. will also be held here on the Sunday morning.

Roboteers email has gone out, if you haven't got it, chances are you haven't signed up (either that or i've clicked the wrong button)! :proud:

Re: Robots Live! Whitwick - 2nd & 3rd March 2013
Just a heads up, no bulldog for this one, currently in about as many bits as it could be but will be bringing a featherweight to have a mess about with for the weekend

Re: Robots Live! Whitwick - 2nd & 3rd March 2013
Great event! Had a really good time (until robob somehow broke from between removed from the arena after the final fight to the pits!)
Cheers Alan!

Re: Robots Live! Whitwick - 2nd & 3rd March 2013
Thanks all for a great weekend! Had loads of fun with Maelstrom as we finally managed to get it running properly without jamming our flippers- clocked up 7 OOTA's too which is a new record for us.
Well done to Michael, Adrian and Eruption for a well deserved 2nd place- nearly threw us out in the final but we got lucky. Also well done to Beast for winning the nut!
See you all at Portsmouth in a couple of weeks.

Re: Robots Live! Whitwick - 2nd & 3rd March 2013
Thanks to Alan and all involved with Robots Live for another fun packed 2 days. Congratulations to Will on winning again and to The Chief Mechanic of Maelstrom for getting it running so well.
We had a mixed weekend, TR2 ended up with a bent axle,Stealth froze up after every flip,4 4 Toon has a problem with its speedo, but Tiny Toon is rocking and ready for the NEC :proud:
See you all in 2 weeks
Team Toon

Re: Robots Live! Whitwick - 2nd & 3rd March 2013
Thanks Alan and Robots Live for a great, if busy, weekend! I'd like to see anyone try and top four heavyweight and two featherweight fights in one show!
Well done to Will and Ian for winning the comp again (grr :lol: ). I reckon Maelstrom's the best heavyweight about at the minute. Also well done to John for winning the Team Bud Nut with Beast. Hard luck to Alex, I'm sure that link must have got very frustrating by now! Hopefully you'll have it all sorted by Portsmouth.
Eruption's still not right, and my Dad's actually admitted it for once so there really must be something wrong :lol: . The flipper sticking up is a major issue that we'll have to sort, and we'll be looking into why it didn't self right against Kronic, never had that happen before. Also Explosion broke for the first time ever in six years!
See you all at Portsmouth

Re: Robots Live! Whitwick - 2nd & 3rd March 2013
Thanks to the organisers and everyone who took part, a great weekend.
The videos are slowly going on to youtube in 2D and 3D, I think i got them all, some with close up views of the action.
Picked up a FP system ready for the new featherweight!
