See you there... :crazy:
Mr Stu
this event might be thors next outing with i hope a fully working hammer.
Just checked times and distances...Ill be there, with HA working and not a tape-on shell :P
My axe mech is gonna be in my hands a week prior to this event so it may be working, it may not...
Ah! but is Thor going to have a fully working Driver Shane
Dont be silly!!! Both Jason and Shane will be drunk as normal!
BING!!
Mr Stu
it all depends on testing with all the new kit on it. i am sure jason will be there with the mighty thor but he is being a bit careful with the clutch starting off weak and tweaking a little after every test. if you ask me its about time he started reading these threads and posting himself but he is busy.
HI THERE
magna will be my first event i will have been to watch and just woundered if there were any lists of robots that will be there and fighting ? so to know what to expect
cheers for any info
paul

Well looks like another busy show. The 2pm show is going to sell out very soon, more chairs being ordered.
I will post a Robot list here for you tonight paul, and update to roboteers will come either tonight, or tomorrow.

i was hoping ufo was going but never mind.
thor wil be there but probably with no drive because his amp flow speedo hasnt arrived from the good ol us of a. still i think we can stick it in a corner of the arena and give the hammer a good testing. nice hazzard i think :)
Shane,
Why you hope UFO was going? UFO is on display at Burgess Hill promoting our next event at the moment. But we will be there with merlin, Knightmare, G3 & Alpha.
envy is of similar shape also with a front hinge flipper but i have made an error on the front hinge. was going to spy on your ufo and see how the flipper is hinged thats all. :)
missed off
Dantomkia, and Scorpion.
Sorry :)
Jonno its actually psycho ram not psycho fling
this probably wont matter but i like being difficult
cheers alex
And psycotilly ...and ....ST.....:-)
and razer and tornado and hypnodisc oh and dont forget the mighty, the incredible, the 18 horses of power, the awsome, the robot that took the world by storm.....storm2.
and envy
and hells teeth and hells teeth and trax and hells teeth 4wd and air and and ok ok i will shut up
Lol - looks like this is gonna be the biggest attended event this year so far, even without the vapour bots Swanny has come up with. LOL!
Mr Stu
Just to amend Davids post, Alpha and Knightmare probably wont be there (cheers Dave M, last time i let you drive one of my bots :) !)
hey guys, Ill have some motor mounts for sale at magna.
they are now £10 per set (enough for 2 motors) as im selling out quickly.
Hi
because of public transport Ill be arriving a little later than the time asked on the website, but as I wont be fighting it shouldnt matter, just thought I better say so someone can save me a bench :)
Sadly we wont be attending Magna this year due to a holiday that conflicts with the same dates. But I hope its a good show, shame really because Magna has always been a great venue/event.
Chris - ^_^

ill upload it tomorrow and post the link
alex
Hi Guys,
Well firstly I have to thank those who helped out yesterday, you know who you are, as you may have noticed things didn€™t go quite to plan, a week of stress followed by a stressful event.
Starting off with two of our friends having a 60mph bike crash, both in hospital, and going to be for months. Not a pretty site I can assure you, Kirsti might aswell move into the hospital !!!
And then on Thursday/Friday, a certain someone decided to try and well and truly sabotage the event which I wont go into detail on this public forum, all I will say is€¦ NICE TRY !!!! But it did put my schedule back, and could have done without the stress.
So I€™m sure most of you noticed I was walking around like a zombie yesterday, and pretty much still am due to lack of sleep and energy. Didn€™t get to talk anyone, couldn€™t tell you which robots were there or not, as I don€™t remember most of it.
Although we had a disastrous start to the first show, not only running late, but the lights going out, we did manage to pull it back and comments from people were positive. Big pat on the back to everyone. Oh and the carpet€¦€¦ no marks, Thank you. I didn€™t fancy the £1000 plus Vat cost if any of the numerous strips needed replacing !!!
That€™s it for our first 3 shows of 07, apart from Colchester where hopefully we will have finished the upgrades, we now have a bit of a break so we can recoup some energy ready for a busy summer once again. I might even have a holiday !!!
Regards
John

You know who you are - and we now know who you are - if only it could become public. You know who you are and your just out of order and your day will soon come!
As John said, the event was a bit stresful, but finished on a high and was great at the end, thanks for those who helped me also, you know who you are, just shows that there are some nice roboteers out there and some people want our sport to grow and not try and sabotage coz they cant get their own way.
A big well done has to go to Jonno for pulling that event together and working to stupid hours. Without Jonno this sport would have been gone along time ago, and even all this cr-p he gets from cerain roboteers, he still keeps going and doing these events so keep the lot going, and its sicking and dishearting when certain people try and spoil it. So a well done needs to go to John for having thick skin and trying to keep this sport/hobby alive!
Hope too see you all at Colchester which should be buzzing!

Amen to that Stu!
Lets not forget that despite all the BS and other problems it was a damn good event.
Thanks has to go to John and the rest of the crew for all their hard work on the day.
Pain In The Asp preformed well, at least it did until it got stuck in the arena filpper hinge!
(and I also need to have a quiet word with Mr Stu and his flipper regarding a slightly bent left hand rear axel :wink:)
Unfortunatly I cant make Colchester, so Ill see you all at Aylesbury.
(Enjoy your break John, you fully deserve it)
WTF? Who would try and sabotage an event? Why would anyone want to do that? Whoever did that needs stringing up and kicking out of the FRA
*whistles the theme to bewitched*
Eh? :uhoh:
Who?, how?, why? are questions me and others are surely asking. Will we be kept in the dark?
