If ever you needed proof that humans descended from apes, the ninth photo in Dave's collection provides a bit of evidence

Hey Guy's,

I've half recovered from the weekend, although still aching and tired!

I hope this UK championships has been one to remember - and as much as I hate to say it, a huge congratulations goes to Alex for winning with Tiny Toon. I was dreading the day a box won the Championship's, but I have to say Alex did some very impressive driving and fully deserved the win so well done! I think it's time Tiny Toon retired now

There were some really great fights over the 3 day's, and hopefully the excellent trophies funded by the FRA and the huge array of prizes sponsored for us by Silverline Tools and Horizon Hobby were well worth fighting for!

I have to say a big thank you to everyone who keep on travelling the long distances to our event's and especially to those who build robots specifically for our 1 or 2 events a year - It really does show your support and we really are gratefull for that. Thank you to everyone who helped out over the competition including John Bell and Pip for sorting all the judge's and score sheets up to date through out the event, it was a huge help. We had a few roboteer's stay behind to help pack away (and set up) which is massively appreciated. We were so worn out by the end that I dont think we could have done it without the help!

I hope you all enjoyed the drag racing too - alans C5 was actually pretty kool hopefully Robo Challenge will take the win for all 3 catagories next year

I'm already trying to organise next years UK champ's at the moment - so keep your eyes peeled shortly for further details!

well done everyone!

Talking of driving and weapons (of sorts), at the Antweight World series we often have awards at the end, they change from time to time but the staple ones are:

Best Driver
Best Engineered
Best Design
Most Destructive
Most Destroyed
Best newcomer (robot and/or competitor)

So who fits these awards from the UK champs ?

I'd like to nominate CARCINUS for Most Destroyed.

Hi all,

Wasnt it a great week-end. Congratulations to all the winners, humbug & co. Just stripped Little Spinner 2 down with no serious problems the only thing that stopped us in the end was a keyway in the weapon shaft. I think my robot did better than most of the spinners even though it was definitely the oldest spinner there. All it needed was a good driver and it may have gone further in the competition. I think I was probably the oldest roboteer there and I think the most inexperienced but still had great fun.

The social aspect of it was great, everybody helping everybody else and a fantastic atmosphere. A big thank you to the Coopers and Silverline for providing the food for Saturday night although it came a little bit late for some people who had just ordered food and paid for it from the bar.

Graeme's thick lip has gone down from playing human skittles!

I'd like an additional category added to that list, most fights with a single robot, think I win that one hands down

[RogueTwoRobots]

Best Driver - Alex with Tiny Toon, without a doubt
Best Engineered - 360 (closely followed by either NST or LS4)
Best Design - Asgard
Most Destructive - Toonimator/NST
Most Destroyed - Yup, Carcinus
Best newcomer (robot and/or competitor) - Juggernaut (I don't know how new this robot is but it's the first time I've seen it so it's new to me)

And yeah, I think Boner took part in the most number of fight throughout the weekend. I've still to really sit down and sort my videos but I think I filmed most of its fights so that should give a rough indication of just how much fighting time it got

[razerdave]

I'll put my 2 cents worth since I asked :P

Best Driver - Alex with Tiny Toon, Although zaks driving with Seraphim was interesting
Best Engineered - 360/Asgard
Best Design - Not sure on this one.
Most Destructive - NST
Most Destroyed - Definitly Carcinus
Best newcomer (robot and/or competitor) - Juggernaut (new to the UK champs certinly, been competing at Roaming Robots and Robots live for a little while)
