2012 FRA UK Featherweight Championships by RoboChallenge

It wasn't flat enough! I turns out you need more than about 1mm ground clearance. Sorry I got its name wrong, I get confused with all these 3 character names (nst,ts2,ls2)

So who won the UK Championships?

[RogueTwoRobots]

Still got a day's worth of fighting to go Liam. These are the top ten robots and the fight draw for tomorrow:

Mini Mighty Mouse vs 4 4 Toon
Beauty 3 vs Little Hitter
Explosion vs Venom
Drumroll vs Cobalt
NST vs Ripoff

How you finding the brushless jamie?

The brushless has been great. Although with the belts snapping it's not gone through that many impacts, but it's all survived so far so hopefully I can get the drum/belt sorted and get some more damage in

[Eventorizon]

I think Conker left in bits too, but not much damage really.

There did not seem to be much damage at the time. NST took off 2 of the wheels and damaged one of the drive motors (bent the motor mount and shattered the magnets) as well as the front and side armour panels. But now I have got it home the damage is more extensive than I thought.

The base plate has been shattered from the back left hand corner right to the center of the robot, splitting it in 2, as you can see...

Electronically however it still works perfectly. ESC's are fine, relays, BEC, receiver... even the lipo's escaped unscathed!

I would love to see that fight again, it all happened so quickly that it was over before I could take it all in, so if anyone has a video let me know.

Kenny went quite easy with cobalt's claw as I only had one wheel drive but will still need a good hit with a hammer to bend it back out

and thanks to Katharines driving of bruiser, I now need a new gearbox for my drills as I stripped the gears inside

Congratulations to Dave Weston, 2012 annihilator champion with Satanix!

[beast]

well congrats to Robochallenge
well done to NST and well done to Explosion for a hard fight but comming second 2 years on trot is no mean feat
hard luck to Colbot and cool 3rd for little hitter
Beautys wil be back!!!

[mattsdragons]

so NST is the new UK champ?

If so, well done Sam, a lot of work paying off

[Mouldy]

GO ON SAM!

Really glad a spinner won the title finaly, its been a threat for a few years, and the title couldnt of gone to a more deserving bloke.

NST - 1st place
Explosion - 2nd place
Little hitter - 3rd
Cobalt - 4th

Spinner...flipper...axe...hydraulic crusher... doesnt get more diverse then that!

Thankfully i got beaten by the UK champion, so it wasnt too embaressing... but 540 was pretty lame... back to the drawing board for me

Well done to robochallenge lads for putting on a great show, and thanks for all the hard work, and good laughs.
