craig we might of won if the roboteq didnt blow up cus of tib lol

n i think sidewinder makes it slow? so was rly hard to push them to side and they just drive off u when u have them lol

but atleast we went out to the champs

I think the sidewinder was incorrectly set up.
A little tinkering with the current limiter and slew adjustments should solve this problem.
Drop me an e-mail if you need any help or advice on doing this.
Tough as Nails has plenty of grunt, and he runs a single sidewinder.

Guys,

Firstly a big thank you to everyone involved, this was certainly a top class event.

What was encouraging was that everybody who confirmed there attendance actually came and no one dropped out at the last minute,

With 27 heavy weights, and 19 feather weights taking part, certainly shows there is life out there !! And to have 19 feather weights In the arena at one time is just pure madness !!

A noticeable difference in atmosphere from normal events, the competition element certainly brought out the fighting spirit in us all.

Everyone worked so hard, and what was incredible was the small amount of machines being taken out of the competition due to unrepairable damage !!

The feedback from all the Audience, and Haven is nothing but positive, and already I am being asked which park we will be attending next year so they can book their holidays againâ‚¬Â¦. Nothing like being in demand !!

I wasnâ‚¬â„¢t there for the final as you know as I was working in London on a corporate event however from what I heard the two Friday shows were the best, and the fights were fantastic.

Congratulations to the Big Nipper team, a well deserved victory, although I think Terrorhurtz was unlucky !

Chris with Tanglefoot, and Smash our newbie roboteers did themselves proud for there first event, looking forward to seeing your robots evolve with time and attending more events.

One other thank you has to be for John Bellâ‚¬Â¦. He was the Alan Gribble of the old robot wars, he set up his van / mobile workshop outside the back entrance, and I think he spent 99% of the time in it, helping fix every bodies robots !!

We certainly showed David Calkins our celebrity judge how we run a UK Event !!!
Hope you got back home safe David !

Looking forward to next year, watch this space for when we get it organised, hopefully by the end of September / October so people can plan their holidays.

John
