I've voted :)

As I have been unable to attend any RR events this year, I cannot gauge which robots have performed best, improved most etc.

Therefore, cash bribes will be accepted if you wish for me to vote for you (or your robot) in these awards :proud:

Yo ditto on Jamies post, this brushless stuff ain't cheap!

Good Guess though wink wink !! :lol:

Yeah, probably lol (This is the moment Hunter gets his a** kicked in by Beauty at maidstone... (SHE CAN TRY, HAHA!!!) :rofl: :uhoh:
I doubt Hunter will get a vote for any of these catergories (although he is very nicely engineered, and a very good newcomer, lol XD)

Well there are my votes take em or leave em.

I'm bovered I will need all the votes I can get :uhoh: (Thanks Shane :D )

Surely this is a contender for the most comical moment?

Yeah, but i'd probably say that the 'great' PITA tko'ing not only block of wood but himself aswell has got to be a classic moment in my book (my very short book of going to events :P)
If anyone wants to see that classic Aylesbury moment then here is the vid:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJdPoirJFLE (2:37 for that moment)

i think the one of the funniest moments was the saturday night at the drag racing event with the magnet :):)

Yeah it's a toss-up between Team Toon's dragster taking 65 secs to cross the line (or John Lear's dragster achieving 72mph! :P) and the magic minutes of magnet mayhem - how's that for alliteration :)

Either that or Mr. Lear trying his best yet failing every time at the game of 21 :lol:

i had to try and win at drinking LOL ;)

Most comical moment 2009:
I am having trouble deciding on which to nominate from the following list and I know for a fact that there are loads that I have forgotten, and some that i dare not suggest.

Barnsley-Wendy falling over the supports of the overhead screens

RIAT- Mike Lambert. John Bell walking all the way down to the far end of the runway on the saturday morning hung over because he knew we were after the AWACS plane not realising that there was two of them, and he didn't see the first one.

Featherweight UK Champs- John Lear whats your friends name? John Lear can i watch? John Lear and Jonno running away from the bar to get in the car.The spinner falling off Stripper when he fought Beauty.

Drag Team Champs-Dave Weston getting the magnet from 360 stuck on Satanix. Ian Thomas describing how he washed his bits in a cup. John Lear and the sleeping bag.

Portsmouth-Saturday night in the hotel with Team Bud ( I lied).

Thor Anti Virus, Stagefright every event,Jonno MD rolling forwards and crushing his dx6.

Now to decide

Clive, how could you forget John Bell and the cat at Barnesly :rofl:

An award for the most comical moment of 2009 is very difficult because the moment was only comical to the people involved. Like the Dave weston magnet gag i am sure it was funny at the time but as i wasnt there i cant really vote on it.......so here is what i suggest.....

How about a vid made from small clips and pictures from comical moments over 2009. that way we all can see what a good year we all have had.

I second John's neighbor's cat as the funniest moment. How far did that cat travel?

I would say best part of 200 Miles :)

Best event of the year for me, hmmmm......... My 18th :proud:

i did quite like guildford...and ayelsbury...but im sure maidstone will be a blast :P

^couldnt of put it better myself :D (and the preveiw of my RR AI pack, which reminds me, i only have about 2 weeks to get as much done, and so far i only have 6 robots finished off, EEK!)

Voted :D

Most successful robot? - Iron Awe 5
