Venom Can

Just got home after loading the arena away.

Just want to thank everybody for supporting the event. Little Hitter and Hornet 2 put on an amazing display indeed. Venom went out in the second round to wedgie :sad: i thought the battle was already over lol Well done to Beauty 2 Alpha and little hitter!

We hope you all enjoyed Robo Challenge hosting your 2008 Uk Championships! looking forward to the next event

thank you!

Thanks Robochallenge team for putting on a great event. Lots of fights, lots of excitement and the usual controversial judges decisions!! For our team, coming fourth was brilliant. With thanks to all the teams cheering us on when we fought Beauty 2.The highlight for us has to be flipping Venom . See you all at the Thinktank.
post my videos asap!

Just got back in the house about an hour ago.

What can I say, my third Robochallenge event and as good as I have come to expect from the team. The amount of work the Coopers and their crew put into these events is phenomenal and it led to a fantastic couple of days

Well done to Beauty 2 for claiming yet another victory (grr :P)
And to Alpha and Little Hitter who claimed 2nd and 3rd place respectively.

Drumroll put in an improved performance compared to Thinktank but still many areas to improve on. The biggest change will be the weapon motors, going to go for a pair of Speed 900s to the drum for hopefully increased destructability
Although finding space in the robot for them could be challenging!

Thanks again to everyone involved who made it a great event, and hopefully see you all at Thinktank!

(Pics and vids should be up over the course of the week)

Well we all got home safe and sound. Excellent event, well done to all the people from Robochallenge for setting up such a great show. Too bad the audience numbers were so low, but those that were there at least got to see some terrific battles and worthy winners.

Well done John and Little John, Beauty 2 really came through in the end but not without electrically challeging you all the way.

Just got home, congratulations to beauty 2, alpha, lh2, and wedgy. Great event robochallenge looking forward to think tank. As 4 4 toon was immobilised after 3 seconds in the first round losers melee, after brutally attacking hornet,(the only thing stopping me was a battery connection seperating by the way ) did i officially come last? Dont forget without us losers there can be no winners
