Since we now have a bit of a break until the next event here is a bit of a review on how things have gone for Team Shock lately.

Maelstrom has had a run of good form over the last few events now after a slow start to the year. All the little changes and improvements came together at the UK Champs and gave us one of our most impressive displays throwing a couple of robots OOTA including our most impressive flip yet on Eruption. We think this is due to the new batteries firing the valves better which has greatly improved the flipper. This year also saw us fit new bosches for the drive which have worked brilliantly as it now drives with plenty of speed and pushing power which it lacked before.

We won't be competing with the feathers much at the main shows now although we will probably be bringing Heatwave along for Orla to drive as she did really well at Gloucester. We will still be competing the the FW champs with Inertia XL though.

Next year will (finally) see the debut of our new heavyweight. As of today we will have the body panels as they have been waterjet cut from Hardox for us. This will speed up the build and I hope to start welding the chassis together when I am home this weekend. Photos to follow soon.......
