alex - i got someone out but part from that i didnt see any lol

the game play favours push bots but could prob be changed abit by like you have your own 2 sides and you have to get the robot to them instead of any side or something like that

Pic on Profile of Hornet after battle with Kishar. The fight only lasted for one hit. Hornets Weapon support got bent causing the disc to pop out and damage the weapon pully. Kishars weapon shaft got bent disabeling its disk but it was still mobile so won the fight.

700 miles
500 quid in upgraded and new parts
150 quid on car hire, fuel and accomodation
150 hours spent upgrading

15 seconds or so of fighting....

Really beginning to wonder if its worth it.

Well done for throwing the event Craig along with your team, got a few things I would like to chat to you about on msn.

Not long back, twas a nice brisk drive back up, snowed a little but nothing much to warrant stopping to have a snowball fight

Firstly, thanks very much to Craig and all your team for running a successful event! Yes, the first show had to be cancelled (it was Kennys fault ) due to the time taken to get the arena up plus the little problems encountered during the build but what would your first event be without several stress-inducing incidents? :P
But seriously, a lot of effort put in, another spinner-capable arena and one of the best events Ive been to in terms of comedy. Your compere quips throughout the day along with the general banter really added to my enjoyment of it. Look forward to competing at Rebel Robots events again.

Kaizer went out in the first round against Pillow Torque. Had a couple of whiteboards (that was the robot Beauty 2 flipped out) and then a gearbox jammed (now fixed). Thankfully its held together well and will be good for Robochallenge next month. Many thanks to Clive for lending us the battery packs - they work really well and make for a nippy robot

Drumroll made it to the seocnd round but lost against Pain in the Asp on points. However, I think Ive given Geoff a couple of nights work perhaps - really good fight though, thoroughly enjoyed it

Alex, thanks for taking a lot of pictures! With all that was going on, I kinda forgot about my camera

Thanks again everybody, and well done to Alex for a great win with Tiny Toon!

A couple!! and then some!! you actualy managed to give it a fair seeing to!!.. About time someone did, its had far too easy a life so far!

But rest assured, it will be back.. Better, stronger and it may even be a bit quicker!

Despite some early problems, I think everyone who was there would agree that it was a good event.
At the risk of incuring the displeasure of the gas-bag brigade (filppers) I like the scoring system!:wink:
