Hey, dont thank him for flipping me out. first fight i was working properly in and i get thrown out after 10 secs of the round starting. It was a sweet flip tho. gotta thank Little Hitter. If it wasnt for that robot we would have been sat about doing nothing in the pits, But it managed to break 3 out of the 4 robots i took. So i had plenty of repair work to do in the pits.
Almost forgot, I have uploaded a few more pics of I.R. onto my website:

its good 1 of the super flipper heavys didnt accidentally flip that feather...

i think its merlin who got a flip who thank god looks like it was running out of gas (i think)

one of the most ridiculus things iv seen as a roboteer

yes theres nets on the roof but thank god we didnt have to test the nets out...

might be moaning but thats my view on this

[xtreme]

Dont worry fella, everyone in the arena was told about it. It would be the same as being flipped by Flow anyways.

[john]

obviously its not the same as being flipped by flow

[Gaseraki]

Just had time to post
Thanks for a fun event and cheers tom for the feather videos. Also to say your nuts!
Gratz to Big Nipper and wedgie.
Big Nipper has just proven to withstand the most powerful crusher around and wedgie for absolutely dominating that first round melee.
Thanks Mark for teaching me a few new soldering tips and Andrew Marchant (from tornado) for the kind words on my feather Trojan.
Sad to not go to any events for a few months. Esp since I just got the dam feather working properly! But I guess this gives me time to get a heavy started.
Hope to see you all soon
Regards
Marco

no john, its probably not as bad. Flow has the same size ram and more flowrate then iron awe.

[grant_ploughbot]

Flow still wont have as much flip as some heavies as the stoke as WAY smaller. Although it is probably better than most (if it ever works)
