Thought id join the club and give ripper its own thread.

Ripper has been slacking over the last.... 3 years..!!!

Although suprisingly did quite well in the finals of the Winter Tour.

If steve has his way then we will spend a little time giving it some tlc, mainly, rewelding the broken Ti bits which have been bodged by me with steel.

And making the wheels round again not square!!!!

Mind due, i say that, but i bet i dont have time, and it will be used again in the same state its in.

Myself and steve have an ongoing debate, we both agree we need to build a new one, however

I say build it smaller, steve says build it bigger !!!

ripper has just jumped from being a good robot to being one of the best improved robots this year. man it was looking very very good at the champs. i am sure he is doing one or 2 more small mods but what a robot and what a driver. i am sort of jealous now. liam should have some vid footage of it on you tube shortly and its well worth a look if you wernt at the uk champs.

HA HA, i just re read my post above !!!

No body can say i make idle threats !!

I was chuffed with Evos performance, few tweaks and im going for the winter tour championship !!

Those tweaks certainly worked.... and watch out for 2009, where I have a few more plans for improvements. Terrorhurtz....more like Terror-doesnt-hurt LOL

That final fight was the best feeling in the world !!! Better than Robot Wars itself !!! you were unlucky you ran out of gas john, I knew what your tactics would be, and you did a good job !! Looking forward to fighting you again !!

So my arch nemisis has been beaten... two more to go which I always loose to...
