I had an excellent time despite Massacre being about three kinds of rubbish.

I did enjoy the longer competition formula but I still keep my reservations about it with regards to booking longer times off work etc.

Congratulations to the Beauty robots of course for taking first and second but more so to Ellis for taking 3rd place with a robot that struggled to move under its own weight a week ago. I would also like to thank Ellis and Peter Ware for the lift to the event, their help with Massacre and generally making sure I ate and slept over the days! Thanks also to all the Robochallange guys for the organisation.

So many great guys were around, your company was wonderful and everyone was so helpful. It was great meeting Matt from Hardwired and Sam from Hatchet, really good guys and I hope to see you again at the next one. Thanks to Nick for talking me through Mr Mangle and humouring my stupid questions. There is more, but they know who they are.

Can't wait for the next one!
