24th, 25th & 26th May 2008 - Robo Challenge

[ady]

anyone got any decent spinner fights?

[john]

no because there wasnt any

na there was a few - i think the losers fight was the best one

i want a one on one with a spinner :sad:

but at every robochallenge event iv only eva lost 1 fight - well iv lost fights and got bk in but they dont count

been in 4 finals - won 3 and lost 1 to grant as i had a major gas leak or he would of been out! lol

hopefully at tag team event ill get to but ill make rip do all the hard work lol

[james...venom]

you have been lucky though aswell john. Rip kept you in last years tag team as LF through himself out and this years UK again LF almost had you out but you bounced off the wall and got a lucky position on him. both events could have gone a completely diffrent way. especially if you had a 1 on 1 with venom lol

[john]

o i no :P been very lucky

its all about luck

iv been lucky in all the comps to as i think iv only ever been up against 1 spinner which was leos last year - as we have never had many fights against spinners we dont know how good we are - but its the luck of the draw

LH went stright through the spektrum at the event b4 the champs and it could of happened again at the champs

hornet was also very unlucky in his fight spinning himself oota id like to see gary go far next event

and im glad an axe got far - i think there the best robots and would love to see more - as i think we only have 2 atm? which is a low number compared to other weapons

[botmad]

or a 1 on 1 with dizzy :P:P

[john]

my dad told me before that hes already done that before with the old one and you cut it in half :P

[botmad]

TWICE

[kodster]

You crazy lot :wink:

[typhoon_driver]

Lol you and me both John.

After 3 events I am finally understanding how the internals of hornet act in a battle and have gained valuable info which you can only gain in full combat.

One of the problems with finding problems in a spinner is that they can only crop up during full combat competitions (like all other machines) but with so few comps around it takes a few to find these weaknesses.

Might throw a damage report on a hornet 2 thread at some point in the next few days as I dont have much on
