ye dave i remembered earlier that i left it in your car - look after it will speak to u on msn about it



and ye the format was how paul said it - feathers i think all the people who qualified went straight into the final - PITA was unlucky as geoff got the front stuck down the side of the arena for a while so he lost some points he could have gained there

Having been there at 8 AM because the boys had to go and collect another roboteer before the show started, I had a nice opportunity to watch how the arena is set up. Hard work is very enjoyable when one gets to watch it from a comfortable chair !
I was very impressed with the lighting. All pictures came out excellent, except that the cage kept interfering with my focus. But it was the only spot I had where the polycarb wasnt too badly scratched and no robots had to be transported through. It strikes me as very funny that the only spot where no cage and no audience were the builders used what I guess was the oldest and scratchiest polycarb panel they had. A pity, because that spot would have been perfect.
The fights were awesome. You can see that the quality and reliability of the robots increases still. My appreciation to everyone, and my congratulations to the winners, for some truly impressive fights ! Pits atmosphere was cozy to say the least. And there were many very good-behaving kids in the audience.

Pictures will be up sometime this week, as soon as I can get them uploaded. But in order to whet your appetite... check out my profile for a piccie... were these cars it would have reached the evening news.
