Well there we go, we have crowned the 2013 UK Robot Wars Champion - Eruption.

They have been consistently on form all year, reliability is the key to success no doubt ! Well done Micheal and Adrian.

Behemoth has been constantly improving, and it shows how much work they have put into it !!

Iron Awe easily beat Ripper to take 3rd place, as every flip another bungee chord snapped until eventually there was none!!

A fantastic event as always and the suppoirt from the roboteers is awesome. A great atmosphere in the pits, like a proper community. no fighting ... erm well apart from one team LOL, no politics just good banter and great fighting !!

So we have our break now until October, apart from the 3 day mini tour of the North East. Where in October we start the winter tour for Ripper to defend its title.

Ripper had a great weekend, even though every fight it snapped the bungees! 4th in the uk for a machine which had only done 4 fights before the event is pretty good going. thanks to Gilbert for helping me put the ram back together in about 10 minutes !

Manta was impressive too, and unlucky to be knocked out so early.

See some of you up north, and the rest In Maidstone !!

Well done guys !
