Stu,
Lighten up mate, It was said in humour (hence the smilie!) it could have seemed a little coincidental that the robot belonging to your employer won when you were the judge!!

Also I think I have to agree with Tim, maybe a semi out of control Kan-opener was not the best thing to put in the arena with the feathers, they efectivly put Scorpion Jr out for the rest of the day after hitting and shorting our NI-cads after inserting one of the claws INSIDE the machine. Not to mention tearing 3 wires off the top of the Vantec and leaving an impresion of the tip of the claw in its case!! (That was too close for comfort thank you )!
Other than that, as I said eariler, exellent event guys.
