HIya guys,

Sorry i didn€™t manage to do it last night.... Firstly, I knew there was a reason why I wasn€™t originally posting last night when my wife reminded me that we were going out to the Nottingham festival... no excuses as I don€™t get many days off.

Got back at 11:15pm, and then spent over an hour trying to get my internet to work... damn thing !!!

Gave up after I tried one last time at 1am.

Anyway, better late than never .

Firstly the seeds for the 2007 UK Champs.

There are 8 seeds for this year€™s competition, and they are chosen from the results of the 2006 competitions over the year.

They are:

1) Turbulence
2) Iron Awe3
3) Kan Opener
4) Big Nipper
5) Terrorhurtz
6) Dantomkia
7) Ripper
Beast

The competitors have once again been split into pods. Each pod will feature 3 robots, and include 1 seed. Each robot will fight the robots in its respective pod in the first round. Guaranteeing two fights per robot before they can effectively be knocked out. Points will be awarded by the judges, and the highest scoring robot from each pod will go through to the next round.

We have had a quite a few drop outs, and non confirmed entry€™s over the last week as we knew we would, and so it is now a 24 robot competition with several reserves, which fits a lot better into the 3 days of the competition.

We will be running the main UK Championships throughout, losers from the first round will then be asked if they want to take part in a 6 robot annihilator. And the others will be used for white boards.
There will be a Feather Weight competition of which entry will be sorted out when at the Uk champs.

The list.

Pod A - Turbulence(1) v Tan v Kapow
Pod B - Big Nipper(4) v Envy v Leveler
Pod C - Iron awe 3(2) v Tilly Ewe2 v Iron Awe 5
Pod D - Beast( v Tanglefoot v Tiberious
Pod E - Kan Opener(3) v Das Gepack v Thor
Pod F - Dantomkia(6) v Scorpion v Edgehog
Pod G - Terrorhurtz(5) v Velocirippa v Infinity
Pod H - Ripper(7) v Obsidian v Hive



There will be lots more information coming to you on Friday this week, ( originally planned with the draw results ).


Enjoy and Good Luck Everyone !!!

Regards

John
