Thats a better second round fight than my first, another rambot and an overhead sword. I see the problem being getting rid of seraphim because Satanix and Alpha will just pass underneath it. I think I have the slight advangta because I have the spikes on the back, and if I can get them through the spokes I can stop it rolling away. Alpha is another problem, its insanely fast even for Satanix.
Dave you have a good final battle to get throughhave to wait til tomorrow to find out who
Adrian, I'm hoping to get as many battles on my camera as I can. I always aim to get at least the spinner battles on video, so there should hopefully be some good footage.
May have to go for a lower quality video setting to fit things in as my camera hard drive is filling up, but considering I'm currently on the highest setting, that probably shouldn't affect the picture quality too much.
EDIT: Just got the tent out the loft to check it was all okay and to remind myself how it went up. Last time it was packed up was at the end of the 2007 Eurochamps so it was in need of an airing! The good news is it's all fine and that I'm really looking forward to camping. The more important news is that I've now got a corner of my tent allocated for the coke and Jack Daniels bottles
Grant, did you have any luck with the campsite about a discount?
Sorry to spoil the wait guys, but the 3rd draw is already on the website.
And I got probably the worst fight of the lot.
Savage Evo and 360.
God/Lucifer/Allah/Buddah/Spongebob help me :P
Well I've got another Toon (of the Tiny variety) and Asgard. Quite looking forward to this one; not sure what damage I can do to Tiny Toon but Asgard is quite large so I'm hoping there will be weaker areas that I can attack that aren't in the line of fire of the axe because, err, my top panel isn't very thick!
Thinking back to what happened the last time Drumroll on brushless and Tiny Toon were in the arena together.....Alex, let's smash some walls
Well I think I have been pretty lucky with this years draw since I'm only fighting one spinner so far still got some good opponents though.
Tanto and Weed could be tough, know the robots but have never seen them fight so could make for another interesting fight.
Managed to get some more work done on Aftershock today and it moves and just needs a couple of small bits finished before it's fully battle ready. Can't wait now- should be a great championships!!
Its been bought to my attention that theres a few fights where robots have to fight the same one twice, such as Beauty 2 having to fight Toonimator twice, Blitz Quattro has Savage Evo HD twice and Heatwave *would* have had Juggernaut twice. Any chance of this being rectified ? Just in the interest of fair play.
In the interest of fair play we can't sorry. The draw was completely out of a hat so the results must stay. A team has no Real advantage or disadvantage by being drawn against the same opponent. Sorry.
Well I have time to kill waiting for the dog to get out the shower so I can go in, so in the meantime I fancy myself some predictions. All based on the assumption that every machine is in full working order. Bold names are the ones I reckon will take 4/3 points, italics are who I reckon will take 2 points, and the remaining robot 1 point.
