highlight of the day cutlet,I was nearly on the floor in tears of laughter

2nd best highlight of the day was Tom Ross new perm!! Its not unusual.....
(check my profile to check it out he! he!!)

I think I need a new camera as well as a new flipper - all mine came out badly. If anyone has any pictures or videos they can share that would be great.

Rob You Bas***d!

Yes I really enjoyed today ,,was dead pleased with Chips lifter and we didnt break down!!..

Great crowd with Mexican waves, and plenty of foam hands etc.

Well done to the RR crew for another great show.

Finally an explanation of the perm...

In 1978 when I was British Gas apprentice I had a perm as a bet..it then stuck and I continued to have it permed for a further 23 years! My wife (a hairdresser) continued to do it but after many years of statements like..You are the only man I know who has a perm and, You are a 70s throwback I went to the barbers and had a No 1 cut.

Since I joined Rob in Team Chip it was always the No1 or No2 cut and none of the new roboteer mates I have made have seen me otherwise....hence the re perm now for a laugh....I will now let it grow out and it will never be seen again...will still have it at Enginuity though!

Just thought an explanation was needed.

Tom

I thought Tom was going to give us a song

Good show for the public, hope cutlet is ok what with Air flipping it and slamming into it a few times, oh wait that bit was us, dont think we crushed it too much when we picked it up

Had a good test with our new feather as well even if weve gone through 4 motors.

Only 2 bad points though that i feel must be mentioned. One is the space in the pits, struggled to do anything on those small tables. The other is in the second session, no one new what was going on. Every 10 minutes fights were being moved & canceled. I was ready to leave at one point but in the end glad that we stayed for the melee. It would have been better just to have a meeting before hand telling everyone how the fights were going to be organised.

Jonno, I thought you said you had a working pit

Sam, hope youre ok and have a speedy recovery. (Those that dont know what happened dont jump to conclusions)

I was at the 12:00 show and thought it was a great event. It was good to finally see some of the bots and the arena in person. Good performance by all concerned and well worth attending.

Just a postscript to Marks working pit comment. Did anyone else think that the floor flipper was less powerful than at Aberystwyth?

Im alright.. though a little sore to say the least!
Thanks for the thought.

I was pretty impressed with this event I must say, its undoubtedly the best Ive seen from the point of view of presentation, well done to the RR crew for keeping things moving forward!

Looking forward to seeing you lot battle it out at Enginuity.. Im expecting a cracking year
