Robo Challenge - 2013 FRA UK Featherweight Championships!

Binky - Alex's other spinner, goes on about how powerful it'll be. In the words of Craig Charles, let's see if he's all mouth and no trousers.

I think I have managed to hype myself up over it... though it has all the ingredients of being really quite dangerous. But knowing what happened last time it will probably go up in smoke and become a really expensive door stop in under a minute; cos that is how long Conker lasted last time.

And oh bugger... Vortex is Storm Vortex.... not good...

Lh2, Venom and B3 have not entered this years champs otherwise they would be seeded. Robots below bump up.

There are 45 entries, plus we need to make room for Matts entry.

Hot Picks are not nessasarily winners, they are exciting bots to watch out for. May need to add No Toy to that if its a new axe machine

Vortex is a great machine and could certainly go all the way if it can take on the likes of Nst and Ls4

[PJ-27]

I only count 15 spinners? Unless some of the ones I don't recognise are spinners.

What's *Unamed* Matt's entry?

Who are the reserves James?

[mattsdragons]

@PJ

Its my entry that I paid for but something got lost in ciberspace and the form didnt get through

Mine is a (hopefully) 6wd vertical spinner with a 2kg disk and a A28-400 Magmotor behind it :twisted:

Spinner number 19 is here

[psychostorm]

Any chance of the pit working this year?

[Ellis]

*unnamed* is actually our machine as well! We have decided to call it Grabbererer, so that an be changed as well as Tormenta spelled correctly.

[typhoon_driver]

6wd, 2kg spinner with a mag? So 540 with a magmotor......I look forward to seeing that one

Cheers PJ, a fair few I didn't recognise on the list as I wasn't at last years champs.

Incidentally, I'll be bringing 540 for whiteboards and funsies. Means that boner doesn't have to fight outside the main competition

[calumco]

wicked im seeded number 8 never been seeded before, looking forward to the champs and fingers crossed i should have TS3 by then

and i wrote trouble starter 2 and ts2 down as the same robot though,to stop people calling it troublesome 2 on youtube videos lol
