Well done Team Iron Awe.

Also a very big thanks to Jonno and the team for getting the champs off the ground in such difficult circumstances,
this was a marked improvement on all the worlds air forces who bottled out when things got wet.

Well guys, Im back in Edinburgh now, Id like to take this oppertunity to thank Mr Stu, Jonno & the rest of the RR crew for putting on such a great show and congratulations to Iron-Awe for winning (despite not being there to see the final :sad But the only thing that matters is that this event still happened which I think would not!

well done mr Grimm. unlucky DTK.

Envy is was having problems and even struggled to beat storm force. my bigest nightmare was to draw tiberious and it happened. great bunch of lads we had a discussion and i said if they were to get hold of envy and i knew it was gonna damage it as it would lose then i would tap out and so it happened. tiberious has a new front scoop and it got under envy first and with that part of the armour being 5mm ali it was sure to cost me money which i dont have at the mo. was a bit dissapointed with envy anyway it had probs and dont think it would have gone the distance anyway. envy is a good robot with lots of potential and i love it but i need to build another and to do that i need money so envy might be up for sale shortly. need a couple of days to think first tho.

good on you jonno you did really really well at keeping this eventon track your a star and the most dedicated person there is.

thanks all the others for the cool social at camp bud had a great laugh.

I just got back home... cheers for the people who helped take down, was nice to get the arena down in record time so we can go home, or in half the crews case - back to the camp site for some well deserved beers.

It was up and down. ,... i got to the camp site Thursday night and thought this is going to be horrible weekend... the mud was just really bad.. cars getting stuck etc. I managed to pull mine through. hehe (with a bit of help).

But as the days went on, it picked up and was ace.. then when the show was called off for Saturday, we went on a small downer.. then when Sunday was called off.. then everyone was on a mega downer.... but then Jonno talking to the Head RAF guys etc... managed to let us do our champs on the Sunday - everyone was buzzing and went back to the camp site for a aprty...

starting at 10am till about 6am i think was a fun day - even RAF and army and other stall crews taking down their event sections came and sat in our seating and watched and gave us a bit of a buzz.. and the funny roboteer aundience laughs.

Well done to Iron Awe... and Must say Sarah really shined today with Dantomkai - well done babes!! xxx.

Was a great weekend.. hoping to get event report and pictures online tomorrow - and movie clip and full report/results will be online at the end of the week.

Not sure on the DVD front - thoughearly viewing the footage briefly, it looks good, so never know... keep an eye on the web site.

Anyway - great weekend in the end... more of a buzz i think an all roboteers party and fighting day...

Mr Stu
