Well done to the finalists...my money for the final rests on either Beast (that new ram has greatly improved its performace) and Iron-Awe 5 (who always kicks arse)
Good luck to the finalists :wink:
Envy, THz, and Iron Awe 5 are the ones to beat.
Sorry LJ.
First of all, on behalf of all the teams, I would like to send our heartfelt condolences to John and family on their sad loss.
I think you will agree that it was a good event, yes, there were some problems and delays but they were sorted and lessons were learned. Maidstone should be quite something!
I need to address a small problem before it becomes serious and someone ends up getting hurt.
I mentioned it to the featherweight teams at the event, but I want to bring it to the attention of all.
At the end of a fight when cease is called there has been an increasing problem with one or two robots who decide there is further business that needs to be conducted!
The whole point of cease is to denote the END of a fight and give clearence for the arena marshal to enter the arena to start the disarming process. I have no problem with robots doing their victory spins or being driven across the arena to the doors to be disarmed, but further combat type contact between robots WILL NOT be allowed.
Therefore starting at Maidstone if any robots are seen to be going at it after cease has been called, they WILL be disqualified and any points or place in any final that were gained during the fight will be lost!
Good luck to all the teams in the finals at Maidstone, I understand that a complete list will be published shortly.
I was just about to say, surely the bots can give a victory spin!
Was working on a new Hydra replica, but for some reason my computer is being held ransom, i have a virus on it, and i need to pay £80 for some anti-virus thing, then it will be ok, well you can £80 my arse!
On WII.

anyone got any vids of beast?
Hi guys, back to norm is now.
Overall i enjoied the event, even though few things were iffy. The inner cage coming off still wasnt a problem with the arena to contain it with the new polycarb structure, but right after that fight, the little hicup was fixed, all bolted now, well meant to be in first place.
Lighting is being moved about, not sure why it was placed on the inner cages, mis comunication with the lighting guy.
Angela was missed of course, but nice one to Jenny for filling in, will welcome Angela back with open arms, Jenny scared me too much.
Thanks to all the teams for dressing up, and the extra effort some teams went for, really did add to the comunitty spirit.
An offical list of Robots through to the grand Final at Maidstone will be published on Tuesday Night, along with winners of the Halloween dress up.
Tuesday is the Update day..... more then...
Again, cheers all, was a good event overall.. cant wait till Maidstone.. more media and effects to come...
Mr Stu
Tom- If you mean Colchester, then yes.
Since this virus has completly ruined my computer, all 7 years of my work is now going to be deleted.
Me and my dad will hopefully be able to work on Hunter in the next 3 days.
John-I have a good picture of Beast, if you like?
