Roaming Robots, Bristol 17/18th July

Axes always look good but it didnt do much damage at Newark and thank god that Pimp2 actually missed . The compressor takes too long to pump up but my brother has an idea that may solve that.

Now weve got the 4QDs repaired we need a robot to test them so a feather with 120A 4QDs is the next project. Watch out Mute lads we are going for your feather weight speed record . We have a flipper, Disc & Axe so guess whats next.

Was that why it took a long time to self-right? (aside from that I thought it was pretty good)

Does anyone local know of any buses from the city centre that go anywhere near the place? (as Ive looked around and I cant actually find one that does, at least not around the session times)

Best catch a taxi, as Im not aware (I live in Bristol) of any buses that come too close to Whitchurch sports centre.

Stephen, In a way yes. What happened is that we kept firing the axe too much and didnt leave enough pressure to self right and on top of that we waited a while for the compressor to pump up then fired the axe again. If there wasnt enough pressure it would then simply vent the pressure in there and we had to start again. After a few attempts we realised that we should press and hold the fire button. If there was not enough pressure, just simply waiting would slowly self right it as the pressure built up, Doh, should have though of that before. So in the later fights it was a bit faster but still needs improving.

Oh and its not a vapourbot. Just might not be as fast as we hope

can I put Terrorhurtz down for Sunday, though not absolutely sure if it will be fighting.

To make life easier for us we have decided the following€¦

All competing teams, attending throughout both days will receive a £50 appearance fee.

Micro-Maul doesnt seem to be in the featherweights list, is there a reason for this? I thought Id signed up quite a while ago...
