Storm Force !

[team_mayhem]

check the wire hasnt come out of the blue micro switch usually why it doesnt start

[liambryant]

I was told it was all gassed-up, charged up and ready to go when I recieved it. When I tried testing it. I saw that there were some different switches other than the Safety Link. Ill need to know what order you should turn them on in. Also, seeing as SF is part of my army, I gave it a bit of tartan to go on its flipper blade!

Well its that time again, update time!

Was testing Storm Force in my garage today on the cradle, when me and my dad were going to testing it, he had problems with what thing to turn on like we didnt know what a dump valve was but soon knew those things when my dad got in touch with John. I got into a bit of a flap when we tested the flipper and the axe as well as the wheels!

The flipper would return to the closed position when releasing the flipper button but the axe stayed in fired position after being fired once! Ah well, this sunday, well hope to test it in the outdoor tennis courts at my mums work, should be good! But in the meantime, Ill get John to help me out a lot better when I go to Barnsley in a weeks time

Dont worry Liam...

Ill be there to help, which days are you coming.. ? both ? Should have plenty of time to get it in the arena and let you have a drive by yourself on sunday morning if your early enough !!

[liambryant]

Yeah, Ill be making my way down on the Saturday, and I think Ill be around on both days

[liambryant]

Well as most of u probably know, Barnsley is now over and I had only one fight with Storm Force out of the 3 shows held over the 3 days.

Saturday (Show 1)
Storm Force Vs Meggamouse
In this fight, I didnt do well due to the amount of driving practise I have been having and also the fact that I was standing behind Major Damage. Meggamouse flipped me around where I was rolling back on my wheels until near the end, I found myself stuck on the wall. When Angie asked the audience who they thought the winner was, they booed Storm Force, but then again I do admit I lost to a very good machine

Sunday (Show 2)
We never seemed to get Storm Force working in any of the fights it was due to fight when it was put in the arena, Johns working on the problems just now so for both its fights, it had to be left in the corner of the arena and didnt compete at all in the 3rd show. But hopefully after Jonno gives it its TLC, itll be ready to fight again next time I go to Roaming Robots!

Liam,

Been there, done that! Last year we ran Hydra at Colchester for one day and then it started going in circles. It was great at Stoke (I think) and then at Aylesbury it didnt run at all, then at Guildford it didnt run at all.

Weve also been in the position where Iron Awes bungee got caught round its wheel and we were all over them and still didnt get a any sort of cheer from the crowd. Theyre a fickle lot really.

Its just a case of getting to know your robot and persevering a bit. Itll come good soon enough. You also get better at nursing it along.

Are you at Burgess Hill or Cardiff by the way?

Andy

Hi Andy

I dont know if Ill be at Burgess-Hill, I really doubt Ill be at Cardiff, both these events are far too south for me, I might be going to Wigan at the end of the year though

Regards
Liam Bryant

P.S. Speaking of Hydra and Storm Force, Ive just realised we both have Axe/Flipper robots when theres not many left

Not for me to decide for you, but two great weekends are at Easter (Robot Rumble) and RIAT. Theyd be well worth the drive and the Easter one has a bank holiday on the Friday and the Monday!!
