Can middleweights come and play?

Would like to come to this one as its just round the corner. Being the Winter Tour Final would i have to go to 1 of the other events to qualify or can i just come along?

This should give me the boost i need to get the feather finished. :)

All robot weights are welcome at Folkestone.

Obviously the competition will be coming to an end, there will be 10 heavy weights, and 8 featherweights in the final, however there will be white board fights for people to enter in along side.

Sign up for white board only at folkestone will go online nearer the time.
However you can register your interest here so we can plan accordingly.

Thanks

yep no problem,

we will be taking sign ups after the final qualifying round in birmingham in 2 weeks.

Then we will know who will be in the final, and who wants to come and play.

Just notice Beast is currentley knocking Tanto out of the final. Thats Justice for you Craig :)

Im alot nearer than u mark

Whys Beast in orange and tanto in yellow, even though they have the same pionts?

Cause John slipped Stu something :)

yeah lol (pass)more white board finnishes lol

either way Craig wil be driving (we hope)

The points table is nothing to do with me.

Mr Stu

Hi Guys,

The reason that beast is above tanto, just in case your wondering, is in the event of a tie of points, then we look back at the fight results, and how convincing any competition wins were.

Beast throwing Big Nipper ( a seed ) out of the arena gets it lots of plus points.

That and hes paid me 100quid to say so :)

Its all up in the air, birmingham is going to be very interesting as to who ends up in the top 10.

Im getting ready for the event. I had to make some necessary repairs.
The old is made out of 7075 T7 and is broken on a bolt hole. The new one is 7075 T6.

Is it allowed to add a small buffer before the finals,to prevent the regulator from freezing? Thats if it still stays within weight limit.

Jeroen, have you tried to fit a coiled hose assembly to act as a boil off coil? This is what I do for Dantomkia and it works a treat for me. But if you do need to fit a small buffer tank to allow the liquid to boil off then as long as all the parts, fittings etc are rated to operate at that pressure then that should be fine. One other thing to try, you obviously have a larger fitting out of the regulator than the output hole in the regulator body. Try fitting a smaller fitting and then have a LP buffer tank. When Co2 is allowed to expand thats when you get freezing so if you have a smaller output than the input then most of the freezing problems will be cured.

I hope that this helps.

Mike.

Hi Mike, thanks for the info. I tried to use one tube towards the LP buffer tank instead of 2. But it only made it worse. Ill see if i can find a coiled hose. If i cant find it, then ill machine something out of aluminium.

What time do you need us to arrive at this event then so I can plan for journey times, etc?

Cheers,

Dave

:) Going down Friday so not much chance of that unless by some strange reason the A1 gets blocked, so dont get your hopes up.

(thinks) I wonder if I can arrange for a huge licorice spillage on Jct 33 at Pontefract during morning rush hour? Itll take them about 3 days to scrape the stuff up :)
