It looks as though its going to piddle down :sad:
Can someone save me a dry spot to pitch my tent on Saturday?

I suggest someone go and lie in the space until I arrive

With much regret, Team Revolution are no longer able to attend this event.

Best of luck to everyone, hope the weather turns out OK for you.

Roger.

Many apologies, but I wont be able to attend with Cayenne. Ive hit a problem I just cant fix in time, Ive been at it solidly since 9am and only achieved a headache. I might come down and see if theres anything I can do to help to make up for it.

Well day ones gone fine except for the weather which has been a disappointment with Rain and Sunny spells its not a good combination as after the rain because of the surrounding fields you get a great smell of the countryside in the Robot Hall but its not a complaint, it cannot be helped lol.

Also everything seems to be safe and sound just the usual smoking electronics.

As for us we only managed one battle today with Conundrum which was the first featherweight battle off the day where we sustained very little damage but the drum did fall off of the bot and we have completely not traction but after working on it today that was quickly fixed in half an hour or so then we missed the other battles because we went for a trip to Newark town centre.

Overall its been good meeting people, the crowd seems reasonable and Kevin and Co. (Sorry forgot the womans name) are doing a great job on the mics.

Ha! Id made it there and came out alive wifout getting wet (only by rain)...

Thanx Mikey for getting me a pass, so he was spared from getting wet from my water pistol!

Yes, I have made myself known this time round, had fun chatting to all the roboteers, thanx for the good day!

Was disappointed Lee didnt turn up though! :sad:

*kept the pit pass as a nice memento*

Thanks for the fine organisation, Kevin, Jonno and all. Everything went smoothly as far as I could see.

I picked up my new full pressure ram (Thanks Mario). I hope that I will have a replacement robot working for Newark next year!

If you saw a second-hand item for sale yesterday on my table that you need, email me at home.
