Hiya guys,

Cracking event, it was great to be on the other side of the fence so to speak, i am looking forward to 2008 for more of the same.

For an old machine who has sat for the last 2 years in my workshop as an empty shell after the days of litle spinner and scorpion junior takin chunks out of it time after time,it doesnt do bad..... and with a little bit of help from beauty !!!

I must also thank my daughter Sienna who helped build the robot, sat on my kitchen table annoying me, i mean helping me

Hope you run it again next year ill be there.

A nice event, and very happy with a 4 year old G3 making the final (along side LH2) - it shows you cant keep an old hand down! But a slight upgrade is needed.

Congradulations to rip and beauty, your performance was strong throughout and thanks for all the nice comments about 360, just a shame i couldnt get it spinning after all the work thats gone into it, it should be going tomorow, ill try get a vid online

well done little john, you had a strong tag team partner LOL, after seeing your fight with Hornet i really want to have a go against Beauty, if we dont get drawn against each other perhaps we can arrange something :winkperhaps we need a challenge belt?) next spinner event is may (as we are so dangerous we can only come out a few times a year) well done

ye a challenge belt sounds cool actually or challenge trophy anything. ye ill fight you - id fight ne1 as the only thing we dont have spare of is a ram that good but its in the making

spektrum is most expensive thing and its on the top , LH missed it tho which was lucky but jonno was there to save me

and ye the spinners now are to dangerous , i really like 360 tho lol as everybody does , looks mega tough as it was in arena with the house robot it was smashing into it , getting picked up n dropped - mint robot

the next event will be very good

Finally got home 30 minutes ago.

What an event, a big thanks to all the robochallenge crew for putting on yet another fantastic event. Smoothly run, well organised and great food

Well done to beauty and Rip for winning the title. I suppose if I had to go out of the comp at least it was to the winners!

Thanks for the comments on hornet 2. I will hopefully be down at the next spinner comp with a few improvements.

Distance to travel - 700 miles round trip
cost of machine - Into the thousands
The look on someones face when you put a big dent in their hardox.....priceless
