17th March 2007 Roaming Robots - Magna, Rotherham

If their is backable evidence is should be made public i think. Roboteers need to be made aware we may deal with this kind of ........ person,

stu i have an excellent idea. at the next event you must dig out the old beastie boys sabotage record and play it. how very dare a spineless, wicked, evil, jealous person or persons do such a thing. i really hope i never find out who it was.

[kronic]

Nah, I would like to know. I want to know who I can and cant trust. I know there are people who have had issues in the past, and I admit to being one of them, but I think that trying to sabotage an event is taking it a step too far. Most people have no problem with a bit of constructive criticism and of banter but there needs to be a line, and whoever did this has well and truly crossed it.

[leorcc]

I doubt you will find out who it was. He or she will deny it anyway.

[typhoon_driver]

I have a feeling that if it was sabotage then the issue will probably go legal so I doubt we will hear anything more from Jonno or the other guys.

[kronic]

True

[ady]

can someone at least they what they did?

Adrian,
It is a matter for Roaming Robots and not something that needs to be discussed on a public forum.
Subject closed.

Guys,

Although we may know, or think we know who did it, this is not something I am prepared to put on a public forum.
As always with these things they did it anonymously, and so we have no proof either way. Very clever once again, but eventually they will slip up !!

I didn€™t mention it to apportion blame, or to start rumours as to who did or didn€™t do it€¦. I was just simply explaining why things didn€™t go to plan at magna, and why I was walking round like a zombie and didn€™t really get to speak to anyone, let alone thank them for coming.

Over the last 4 years I€™ve done my upmost to keep our sport and hobby alive, and the fact that someone felt they needed to try and close our show down simply disgusts me.

Saying that, they failed, mainly because we are up to speed with paper work, and also, because I was able to highlight the FRA, where the rules and regulations are downloadable that we follow. Why do we need an FRA, and why do Roaming Robots fully support it€¦€¦. This has proven the point, and anyone who disagrees is very foolish and would potentially have been sitting in a big hall with their robot alone !!!

We live and learn, and then move on !!!

Looking forward to my holiday, and then bouncing back with some VERY exciting news coming soon, and Colchester !

i have to wonder if certain people blamed us, as we were clearly a target of some revenge attempt ourselves.
Thankfully Jonno is in agreement that his troubles are nothing to do with me or the edgehog team, so it was a pointless exercise.
This sport is suddenly showing itself to be very hateful at times.
