Sounds like a good event overall then...Thor did really well, Envy did well, Cabraken not only survived but beat people (!) and it seems as though apart from the dodgy webcam no problems were had with the event at all...what can I say but well done to everyone and especially Jonno, Stu & co. for making everyone happy

Great event, nice to see another large audience.

Maelstrom seemed to work well in the end, got the flipper working how it should now and got a bit more speed from the drive.

Well done to Thor and Little Flipper for winning.

Also if anyone has any videos of Maelstrom could you let me know please

Will, Ive got one of the first fight with Cabrakan, Maelstrom, Big Nipper and Horton. It will be going on youtube when I get home tonight.
Maelstrom was very impressive, and a contender to look out for in the future.

Hi guys,

Well what an event !!

Thankyou for all that attended and your hard work !!

Congratulations to Thor ( finally ) on winning something... I know how much hard work and development has gone into that machine... certainly starting to take over Terrorhurtzs reputation for hurting things !

And Well done to Little Flipper 2.

Robot of the event has to be Cabraken, a fantastic first event for it ! Well done boys !

Best fight moment for me has to be Big Nipper vs Major Damage, that was comical, and the crowd loved it when it drove back in... nice to see it being used !!

I notice a few of you are starting to have a go at him, I would recommend you dont, remember the pressure is on its minimum at the moment :-)

Beast tried to flip him.... no chance !!!

You will be pleased to know the floor has now been binned this morning.... it was always going to be its last event, but it did take a hammering.... 2 new layers for cardiff now I have some funds in the bank !

Day off today, and then straight into PR work for Cardiff, just hope we can repeat the sales all year, but 2009 is already looking pretty good in the RR camp !!

Best bits clip, pics, event report, league table all coming asap.

See you soon.

Jonno

[stu]

Your lucky he didnt give me the controls like normal.. but when he starts getting into the comp fights more with Ripper, ill get the controls of Major Damage - then your all in trouble!!!
