Thanks for that endorsement Shane, I know Kane has been in roboting a long time,I like the guy and get on well with him, but I did not start in 2007, that is when I joined the forum.
I started building Pressure mk1 for Robot Wars series 4 but didnt finish it til series 6 extreme 1 (got to a heat final, lost on judges decision).
We entered series 7 with the mk2 but did not get through the qualifying rounds we have been doing live events every year since then with the mk3 and now the mk4 as well as Skink, the boxers and Puck.

Sorry if i implied you started robots in 2007. I knew you have been doing it longer than that but my point was that he has been on the FRA since the beginning. He has been doing robots from the beginning. Not sure if he was on the committee from the start but i will get clarification on this point i am sure.

His committment was my agenda in the previous post.

Shane, Mike,
From the minutes of meetings published on this website, the FRA was started on 20/9/03 and had an interim self elected governing body until the 1st membership elections in which Kane was elected to a place of the committee - the result of that election was minuted in the meeting held on 24/4/04. For the record, Geoff also took office at the same time.
Only Andy and Tony Somerfield have served on the committee for longer.

Yeah pretty much since the beginning

Well Woodys post pointing to Eds event on the australian website is solid proof that the current committee acted in the right way without bias and is infact a democratic organisation.

No worries

I hate to say it but I agree with you Shane. The rule is there so shouldnt be broken for anyone. What if Ed stops organising this event and passes control to someone else? Just a question as I have no insight into this event.
