Most probably hotel'ing it !!!
See how the credit crunch affects this event first :angry: !!!!
Hope you enjoy the event guys... take it all in and remember it good...
So, when is the tanja smith comp?
Although it says for guildford, so to does it for RIAT.
I just want to know whether to edit hunter or not. (and maybe chuzzle)
Hi Matt
the Tanja trophy is going to be at RIAT this year.I'm not sure if you are aware but for that fight you cannot use your own robot.
we had to move the fight to Riat as Jenny cant make Guildford this year.
Regards
John
thats ok time to finnish Beauty iv then :)
its drivers 16 and under as well as not your own
Ohh, ok, thanks for clearing that up for me.
Unfortunatly, cant make RAIT, to far (never know,might be able to persuade dad, lol)
Lol, if any one wants drive of hunter, feel free, but i warn you, turning is not an easy thing.
So, if its RR's birthday, any birthday fights?
We'll be there...! With P.S.M.B and Little B! (+ a new Extreme 5 which is COMPLETELY new called Extreme the Supreme!!) :mrgreen:

Will there still be a get together after the event? (since there should be a bit of time left over)
I'll be staying at home for this, since is just the one day for me and my dad.
hiya
the event is on the sunday. Two shows. 12pm and 3pm. We are traveling down on the saturday and starting building the arena saturday night. Thats all.
John.
By the sounds of things from before, saturday is party day.
If its been changed to sunday then hooray! :)
YES NORMALLY A BIG PARTY DAY ON THE SAT ....
Due to creditcrunch no swimming bowling or iceskating this years as in past years paid for by Johnno but if anyone wishes to turn up on the sat ... for a swim skate or bowl...

The day before that (13th June) is my sister's 15th birthday :)
But I'm not sure that I'll go to Guildford that day -_-. I want to put Dalek stickers everywhere and have fun! :sad:
BTW, are there any retired robots on display like last time I was there? (The robot I saw back in 2007 was Corkscrew 2)
Nor can I. :cry:Quote:

great event
robots did well really pleased
thor v dantomkia what a fight :proud:
plus block of wood a winner again 8) 8) 8) 8) :rofl:
thanks RR Team
Stagefright is safely back in the garage and hiding in the corner.
And His Army's gearbox isn't.
The other two are still stuck in the pit I think as they seem to have spent most of the weekend there.
Thanks to Jonno and the crew for another great weekend, looking forward to RIAT. See you there.
Shame I missed it cos I was otherwise engaged sorting out Hydras fire. Luke's optimistic comment was 'at least it's not structural like Dantomkia's damage' :rofl:Quote:

Thanks to all the Roaming Robots crew for their help and to Wierd Alice for the ready supply of fire extinguishers.
Surprisingly I really enjoyed the event. SMIDSY ran very well with not too many hicups (Apart from Maelstrom :angry: )

well guys cracking event !!
Guildford ended up being a great event, some really entertaining fights.
What we thought was going to be a quiet event, turned out ok, not as busy as hoped, but certainly busier than Swindon and Cardiff !!!
Looks like the war between Thor / Envy vs Major Damage continues !! Although it has been stepped up a gear as the front breast plate of MD now needs its mounting rubbers replaced after a few hits from thor. First bit of damage !!! Think its time to turn the pressure up from its 7 Bar its currently on.
Thats it for our first half of the year, no more ticketed events for a while, time to look forward to RIAT in 5 weeks time.
Over the next few weeks I will be taking stock of things, looking at the future and seeing where we can go.
It is now the end of the year trial of the flip out zone / cages.
The result....
Cages - Success
Flip put zone - Entertaining when used, but not used enough - Fail
So Portsmouth may see a new concept / design to the RR arena again which is going to change the way things work !!
More info will come when decisions are made.
