Well, Everybody knows why i do robots... to Win, but to win in an entertaining way. Thats why i try and keep the UK champs going.

Not that i cant take losing, more if theres a robot out there which i fear, i need to improve my robot.

I enjoy rebuilding Ripper, i enjoy making improvements, i do it all the time, i havent changed it over the summer as its working the best its ever worked, but i keep looking at it and thinking what can I do to improve it, the only thing i need to do before swansea is straighten the pannels from tiberious.

No one would fight tiberious, i felt sorry for the guys, why have a machine that you cant fight people, i have respect for them that if i think they are going too far or i say stop they will stop, the same as if they are stuck i freed them. It was a play event.

I'll fight anyone, and if my robot comes out trashed ill go away and rebuild it, the only bits im protective over are the expensive bits.

im looking forward to fighting tiberious more and more because it is a robot i fear, but i have a plan

Spinners, most machines will take the hits these days, id take on spinners and take the damage and go away and repair it, its my hobby. if you dont have time or the inclanation to repair or improve your robot theres nothing wrong with that at all. People are different and do our hobby for different reasons.

I really want to go over the pond, and if i could afford it i would, and i know a few others are itching to go there too to fight the spinners. Robot Wars is about the adrenelin rush, and spinners bring that , thats why the fw are so popular!

Kane if there is a spinner arena coming, theres enough of us who will fight them, and ill guarantee 50% of us would go and build a spinner in addition to our nromal robots because we can.
