All, really sorry but work commitments mean that Vortex is going to have to stand down - a real shame, but those of you who know me know I have a fairly hectic work life these days ! Really disappointed (as had been looking forward to being a roboteer for a change not a commentator, and also seeing GSL which I've not been to before)

Did already warn Grant some time ago that this was a risk..... another time - I know from James/Grant there is a waiting list of teams/robots wanting to take part as space was limited.

Have hotel room booked at Holiday Inn Express at NEC, PM me if anyone's in need of a room !

Was lovely to see the excitement that Vortex making a return after 10 years created, you might just have to wait one more year. Hope that someone deserving can benefit from the place.

That's a real shame Ed, I was genuinely looking forward to fighting it

.

How many spare spaces are there ? I was not sure if Grabberer's place had been filled or if anyone else had dropped out.

Quick question whilst you're here Ed; were you planning to use those purple skirts for Vortex? I saw them in a video and just wondered if it still had them.

No-one is more frustrated with me given the draw that I got

Yes it still has the skirts - sometimes run with them and sometimes without depending on what it's fighting. We're actually looking at bringing them back for Storm II to try to deal with all these pesky flippers.

Hopefully a disappointment for mean will be a positive for someone else who can now attend !

Oh how Vortex was so going to get it from 4 4 Toon as well

I'm sure a fight behind closed doors at another event could be arranged

I don't suppose you're passing Yeovil in a few weeks?

How do people sign up for the Annihilator?

**james...venom** · 28th March 2013, 10:23

After your qualifying day we ask the people who get knocked out if they would like to participate. We choose 1 of each weapon and then invite you to take part. The current Annihilator champ will automatically be given a place too.
