Me too.

Loacl local local. Let me know if you have any flyers to distribute as I can get them out via people from Brighton to Crawley and out to Eastbourne.
If I still have a job by then of course :sad:

Hey I just remembered - this is exactly how I got into roboteering in the 1st place :)

Will sort some out for you Karoline, probably wont be until Leicester event as we have to concentrate on that for now, but thank you.

We shall certainly need something to hand out at Brighton Modelworld if thats OK with Jonno. One of the most asked questions at Modelworld last year was when would there be a full event locally so getting as much publicity as possible could open the doors for everyone.

Local for me too, can you put the Carrot down for the Saturday show at the very least
Cheers

Be good to see you there Rob! Any chance you could fill the form in on the sign up page? http://www.robotslive.co.uk/triangle_07.htmhttp://www.robotslive.co.uk/triangle_07.htm

It helps us keep track, and takes address for the fules costs. Can the other roboteers who have showed interest do same aswel please?

Thanks
Dave

Just back from the Saturday Evening Show, and I have to say what a very well organised event it was, lights, effects, little sideshows with Ians radio controlled wheelie bin and chair, a dalek and mechanoid. Boxing robots, feather weights and heavies.
... and even old Ed (Alan Partridge) Hoppitt with a rather good bit of commentary.
I enjoyed myself even though I broke two robots.
More than impressed.
Well done chaps
Rob

And the Sunday was just as good. The arena is very nice. The roboteers were well taken care of (as was the audiance). The whole thing had a wonderful feel to it and it was great to see so many people packing the place - there must have been close to 2,500 people at the three shows in total.
More please.

Just got back from the event - and what an event it was too. There were 2,500 spectators give or take a couple and the positive feedback from them was overwhelming.

Rob : Thanks for the compliment, though Im not sure about the Alan Partridge reference - if we didnt ham it up a little bit it just wouldnt be the same. Rick passes on his thanks too for all the compliments we had on the commentary and how refreshing people found it.

Storm II was suffering a few technical niggles - nothing that cant be fixed though, and thanks to Tim for some sterling driving. Looking forward to the next event guys - keep them coming !

An exellent event, well done to THZ and Little Hitter.
Also a big well done to Robots Live, 3 great shows plus 2500 bums on seats too!!

Pain In The Asp managed a reasonable 3rd, but still needs a bit of fine tuning before its 100%.
(thanks to the featherweight guys for allowing a fat Yankee spec. robot into the comp.) :)

can you email me geoff, i keep getting bounced messages.
cheers

Well done to Robots Live for putting on an excellent event.

John

I would have loved to be there, but i was too busy winning stuff in Germany. :)

I look forward to pictures and videos if there are any.

Another really enjoyable weekend. Thanks to the Robots Live guys for all their hard work and a truly excellent event, its just a shame that we broke down so couldnt compete in the final show!

Well done again to Robots Live for another event even better than the last. Arrived home exhausted on Sunday even though it was only a 30 minute drive :)
Well done also to THz and LH for their hard fought wins

Overall I have come to the conclusion it isnt robots that have pit magnets - its pits! That just leaves me looking for the giant lump of iron hidden somewhere in Small Torque :mrgreen:

Great event, and appologies for not being able to help with taking down the last bits of the arena.
Sam Smith doesnt have access to the internet for a few weeks and would like to say a big thankyou to RobotsLive! and is now going to make a point of not being so nice next time hes in the semi finals against THZ :)

Hi all,

First just to say a big thank you to all that attended the event. This event is a sign of things to come from us with over 2€™500 people attending, shows the sports still alive and kicking. Talks are already in progress regarding next year and possible other interests.

Big thanks to the crew who without it wouldn€™t be possible; Ed Wallace, Dave Moulds, Dave and John Lang, Dave Gamble and Sian. Thanks as well to Sam and Grant for staying behind and Dave Western for helping on the Saturday (too many Dave€™s!) and anybody else I forgot. Thanks to Ed and Rick for doing a great job presenting the show and getting the audience involved. Thank you to all for your positive comments.

Well done to our winners THZ and Little Hitter, the axes are back on form.

Check out the announcement for our next event.

You did just the right amount of Ham Ed, top stuff

Thanks for a fantastic event we all had a great time.

Well done to THZ and Little Hitter.

Also that pit magnet must be quite strong as whirlpool ended up in there within 15 seconds in one fight.:)

Thanks Again.
Will & Matt
Whirlpool & Splash
