After getting back and unloading the robot at 2am this morning its a good job Im not working today.
Shame about the Air Show being cancelled, but well done to roaming robots and all the roboteers who still made it happen. Nothing seemed to go right for us apart from the robot. Set off Friday morning, got 5 miles and had to turn back as the turbo didnt work as my Dad couldnt get the caravan up the hills. Luckily the garage fixed it and we were on our way a few hours late. Got to the campsite and a Land Rover tryed to pull the caravan on the field and failed, but with a tractor as well suceeded.
We were all disapointed when we hered it was canceled, but with a full extra day on saturday all the robots were well prepared for Sunday and no delays between fights all went very quickly.
Some really good battles on the day, best for us has got to be against Tiberious, been a while since we were that nervous against fighting anohter robot, every time that claw came down and just missied us I cringed. One day we will find out if that arm is powerfull enough to get threw our armour.
IA5 were on top form again as they have been all year, and made our driving look like amatures :sad:, well done, its been a long time in the waiting. Good to see DTK back on form again and the new hinged front and brillient driving by Sarah made them almost unbeatable.
One thing for sure is that roboteers dont make for a good audiance, but it carmed down when Angela got the armed police involved![]()
