Series 6 Auditions.....
Team death was on a high from series 5-immortalis had 3 outings,the most we had ever
done,but with that one wheel drive,same wheel steer it was unreliable and a dog to drive so
it was time for a new robot.
My teamate had sourced some motors on dodgem cars located in skegness,so we took a trip over
and negotiated 6 dodgem cars for £100-sounds a bargain but if you consider the cars fell
apart when you picked them up and only the motors when useable, it was a fair price.

So the new robot-Devil rider was 2 wheel drive with an angular body shape built
around a briggs and stratton IC engine, the weapon was a 2 inch thick steel bar about
12 inch long with a cutter in the middle all driven by the engine and braked by a solenoid
rubber plunger against a flywheel.

Four robots went into the arena and we shared a control cubicle with ming 3 team.
Stupidly we didn't make a pact to take out the other two robots before going one on one
but I'm sure the other teams did do this.
I drove straight at ming 3 and took out his removable link within seconds and he
was immoblised our robot had very low ground clearance and got stuck on the uneven
floor within 30 seconds, the other 2 robots clashed and became locked together,they
waited untill Devil rider was counted out and then freed themselves on our spinning bar.
This had the effect of freeing our robot and we had 2 more minutes of battling on.
Ming 3 and the other two robots were invited to the show (series 6)but we were not, which I
thought was unfair-Still we went on to take part in the techno games sumo.
