Ed

I would just like to say a big thank you to Ed, the event crew and all the other roboteers who helped make this such a great event to be at. They really put themselves out to make this weekend as good as it was and it showed.

Cheers Ed and the rest of the team for a great event. DragonStrike worked for a change. Now it needs a bit of work on it thanks to Little Hitter 2. Rematch some time. Pic on profile.

Big thanx to Ed n Bob n Rick for a great event

Arena looked great, will be sure scary when youve got the mag-kill-saws in there... Lighting was amazing and looked great during the show.

Its just a shame I managed to blow an IBC and an Astro all in one event... oh well... I look forward to the next two events in Ipswich

Any videos ? , Marks one are all exceding bandwidth . I hope to be at one of the XFM events later in the month , I wonder which one is nearset scotland :P

We really enjoyed the event, a bit knackering on Saturday!!. microCHIP took a lot of damage off Little Hitter, nothing expensive or serious though. Looking forward to Ipswich now. Many thanks to Ed and the team for a well organised, family-orientated friendly event.

Id just like to say to everyone involved what a great show.

Well done guys

The arena was most impressive with its lighting system and smoke effects.

And the robots put on a great show (I was only there Sunday afternoon). Congrats to little hitter that is a seriously high rate of hits from that axe.

I hope to get my own feather running some time this year. But having seen how destructive some of the bots are I think I better get some more armour.

Oh yes and I liked vertigo doing its little dance when it turned. (I take its the gyroscopic effect of the disc).

Interestingly the most damage our robots got were from our robots

Thanks to all.
Unity was not actually meant to fight this weekend, she was a backup in case Tantrum failed, but she aquited herself well.

fight 1, won against Venom, the shovel, and pillow torque (who helpfully drove in the pit)

fight 2, oops, link fell out before the start agains robo-challenge clusterbot.

fight 3, took lots of damage to the 3mm steel armour against little spinner and BS, but would have had you both in the pit if the fight wasnt stopped with people panicing about little spinners smoke generator. I woz robbed !!!

not bad for a substitue robot eh? shell be back with a grudge, so get that magmotor ready little spinner

oh, and the pay2drives did well to, especially in the final melee, where blue was still fighting at the end (very well driven by one of the audience) and green dragon was out the arena. (not so well driven by me)

in seriousness, fantastic event, well done XFM
