Just got back from Edinburgh and it was rather good. I must admit I partially felt like it was going to be the 7th war all over again after the first fight (OOTA fest) but I was pleasantly surprised when it wasnt. Fights of the night (and day) were Terrorhurtz/Thor/Velocirippa (show 1), Ripper/Ewe2/Merlin (show 1), Dantomkia/Terrorhurtz/Ripper/Big Nipper (show 2) and most of the feather battles. The new format works well, as each robot gets roughly the same number of fights with less chance of any re-matches (feathers aside, as more of them fight at once). The circular arena is pretty good, even though its unfinished afaik. (can it take heavy spinners as well as feathers?)

I couldnt see show 3 because I had to get home. Thanks to the guy who offered to show me round the pits (dont know who it was) and to everyone for a great show, see you all again at Doncaster.
(where I might have some questions, as Im starting the learning process for feather building)
