[marco]

I know you´re gonna make a dvd of the complete wintertour . When it´s ready , it´s possible to order it from the rr-site ?

We really hanvt looked into it that far yet Marco. Everythings on the table to what to do Marco. Im sure if that happened the RR site would play an important part of a source for the DVD.

What a show. A great event and some very great people. Even greater fights.

Dantomkia had its ass whipped by two good robots and drivers. Thz had a few fantastic fights and in the end the mad axe man did the job with style. What a fight! A truly worthy winner.

So many good things happened. Friendships cemented, robots fixed and battles fought. What more can we ask for from the last show of the year.

My thanks go to the RR crew for a great series of shows and to my fellow roboteers.

Great event, had loads of fun. Alpha amazingly got to the final, might not bother building a new one! Well done to Blue and Terrorhurtz. Cheers to everybody who helped us putting the new tyre on (mike for lending us his rubber lubricant...why does he have that? ). Great event with some great battles, what a way to end the year.

Mmmm!

Rubber lubricant? Thats not the right attitude, you should be saying rubber lubrican.

(in vain attempt to steer this thread away from the gutter its in total danger of falling into)

Best event I have been to so far, better atmosphere, better battles, Jonno and the crew seem to go from strengh to strengh,many thanks for all there efforts this year, and more of the same next year I hope.

What makes a great event?

We are new to robot fighting in Australia. It would be helpful to find all of the parts that go towards lifting an event from just OK to brilliant.

Is it the facilities or the scheduling or something else?

You can have the best organised event in the world but if the atmosphere is c**p in the audience you just end up entertaining yourselves. If the atmosphere is c**p in the pits then the spirit of competition and camaraderie is lost.

This event had the atmosphere in both - call it that something else. We also had the fact that it was the last show of the tour and the prizes were up for grabs.

Yes, its the venue.Yes, its the atmosphere. But it also the ability to go and have fun. If its fun for you then the audience pick up on it and enjoy themselves. The audience are who we are there for.

The winter tour worked because it was well organised and everyone made a effort to put on a show. The final event in Doncaster was excellent, the scheduling was tight and everyone did thier best to keep to it.

But as as previously said it is a number of factors, you need to have everyone working as a team, and that is not just the organisers.
