What we fighting for?
We got £500 last year so I assume a similar figure
Hope you have a good time, at the finals.
I wonder that if posable the winner could get to my static event the next weekend. [See Static event in Wollaston thred]
is there room for a thor robot at this event. just for testing or you never know a fight
Always room for a robot to come and play in the white boards/test and also to see an old pal Jason! Cant wait to see you, hurry up and get back in the swing of things :) Cya THOR DUDE!!!
Mr Stu
Looking forward to seeing the new Thor. Hopefully a fight too...

John
Back to the rocky horror show Inn.
Is it the same price for children as for Adults?
Phone them up and find out.... Tell them Do you not know who we are? were last years winter tour champs... We should get it for free... were celebs! LOL!!!
Mr Stu
if the children are under 8, or at least look like they are, they should give you a discount.
Rocky horror?????? your very welcome to stay in any other hotel in folkestone :)
John
Some people are never satisfied :crazy:
Depends if you like the bell boy to hold your hand and take you into the small cramped lift of doom and go up while hes still holding your hand.
Personaly i took the stairs.
Mr Stu
I can confirm, that Manwell the night porter does not like getting woken up by a drunken mr jonno at 3am in the morning !!!
Weve stayed there several times already over the last few weeks while doing PR stuff. Nothings changed !!
We now know which bars and clubs are the ones to go to :) and the ones NOT to go to !!!!
Poor guy !!! LOL
Whats a night porter doing asleep anyway LOL
Thanks for the info. Wasnt it £15 per person last year? Will there be a meal in the evening like last year, if not I need to know to plan alternatives?
Dave

Were in the inn too
Just got the e-mail, still not on the distribution list again! Whats all this about the draw being done behind closed doors? Surely this should be done just before the first fight so nobody can be accused of cheating in the draw. Not happy with this. Not happy at all.
I agree, dont understand that one.
Come on guys - a behind closed doors draw ? Whats the reason that teams cannot witness the draw - you have to admit it hardly creates the impression of a fair competition
...Lol its like the days of Mentorn :op
Ed
Guys
The draw is not going to be done behind closed doors as suggested.
As you can imagine and know things are always hectic at the start of the show therefore the draw will be done at 3pm
If any team wishes to witness it you are very welcome to join us so then you know it has been done fairly.
Nice to see you are taking this competition seriously you names already on the trophy again Dave :-)
I hope that clears this up that there is no conspiracy it is purely for logistical reasons
See you all tommorrow
John
wasnt the draw for the world championships behind closed doors Ed?
the words pot kettle and black come to mind
Robots currently out:
thz - flipped oota by turb.
beast - flipped by behemoth.
knigtmare - flipped oota by merlin.
tiberius - beat by storm.
kan opener - flipped oota by iron awe.
kronic - flipped oota by kronic. honest!
One word, doh!
Craig - nope. Draw was done in front of a number of FRA members who we invited to witness the draw taking place to ensure impartiality Craig. Was far from a behind closed doors operation !
Short of inviting all the teams was about as open as we could do.
Ed
