Thanks to the Robotslive crew for all their hard work and putting on a really enjoyable event. Iron-Awe 6 won its first competition after a tough fight with Tilly Evo in the final (well done guys!). Also, well done to Jack for some great driving with their new robot Orrion (Iron-Awe 4) I hope you guys get a lot of enjoyment from it in the future and inflict plenty of damage with the axe! :twisted:

Rob

I'd like to echo Rob's sentiments - I was there in the crowd on Sunday morning looking on ominiously, knowing that the sport's still alive and darn it I MUST do it myself!! For real. Even if only ant or featherweight... something!

I thught Orrion looked vaguely like Iron-Awe 4! Just a great robot right there in Orrion now where once a great robot was before that!

Disappointed by Dantomkia's performance. Lost drive on one side and lost a bit of power in the arm too?


Tilly did good too.

Well done RL, hard work i know !!

Enjoyed the event, Both robots worked fine, nothing major went wrong, apart from my driving... difficult to control a robot when holding a 2yr old who keeps grabbing the tx !! grrr !!

Looking forward to just being a roboteer again in 2010 !

Dave you are a star and when we do the RR awards again, we're not even putting it to a vote... you get the vote for
ROBOTEER WHO HELPS EVENT ORGANISORS THE MOST !!!!

Well after a comment at this event, Apparently I should have an award of my own, the Dave Weston award for stupid moments, because, as I'm sure you're aware, I have been known to be accident prone, falling through Polycarb, banging heads, getting stuck in McDonalds, that kinda thing

Any nominations ?

I do: Mike Hamilton Macey for not once but twice forgetting to turn his gas on before a fight

Oh, one serious note though: My camera went missing at the event. Its a small silver Kodak one, wrist band on it and the dust cover still on the screen. If anyone picked it up by accident let me know.

Hi all, two things:
1. I have a small, black gluegun left by the roboteer who was putting the R/C cars into the arena, I will have at Maidstone if you are going.
2. Yes Dave I forgot to turn my gas on twice.....this year, once at Portsmouth and the other time I think was Burgess Hill.
Not twice at Reading as your post suggests.
3. There is no E in Macy
