I might need some help with the lifting this weekend as my neck is not completely better

still looking forward to the event.

Gravity 5.2 is waiting in the car! And it is more ready than it has ever been.

tonight was great. Team Ripper!! Unlucky Team Mealstrom but the final fight was close and it was a great way to end the night.

Nice show, good driving from behemoth
*Definitely not biased at-all*
I was under the impression that dantomkia would be coming, but it didn't. I really want to see that bot.

As always many thanks to John and all the Robot Wars team for a great time.

As for Team Saint.
All three robots broke :shock:
Saint the Wotty blew!
Seraph the battery pack started to smoke!
(The name Seraph dose mean creature on FIRE!)
even Tron a gearbox failed.

Before Saint stopped it was going better than it had in years the new batteries seemed to do the trick.
So some repair work for this week and back to the Robot Wars

Once more huge thanks to Jonno and the crew for another superb weekend of fun, stress and bad language. Congratulations to Michael and Adrian on winning the first new Robot Wars Trophy

Oh yes and somebody else also won the grudge match challenge as well

Quite a traumatic weekend for Team Toon. Toon Raider was rocking and as good and reliable as it always was ( after the receiver battery was charged

) TR2 had a weekend which resulted in bad moods, tantrums and much bad language. On the flip side Alex was quite cool about it all. The Grudge match ended up with what we at first thought was a bent ram, it now doesn't look that way,I burnt my finger with molten solder,I dropped the flipper arm on Alex's hand, I cut my leg on Toon Raider, only half of the TV worked in the Travelodge and no internet at the Travelodge.

Really enjoyed the banter with Kane over the weekend, next time we meet I will have a large tin of polish with me :wink: Great to see so many Dutch,Belgian and Germans make the long trip over here. Finally thanks to Mario for my little gift

See you all soon

Captain Grumpy

Forget the polish... Ain't nothing gonna buff that up!

(Still quite impressed with TR2, it's gonna be a mighty machine once the kinks have been worked out)

Had great fun again! six fights in a weekend is the perfect number

.
i knew i was going to lose my wheel in the last fight.

Back to the drawing board on Gravity's flipper arm. Major damage did real damage to it while throning gravity out of the arena after a fight..

Maybe a grudge match between gravity and major damage next time?
