I've just heard about Mike's mishap, hope he gets better soon.

From all at Team Bud

Mike phoned me earlier today to say that he was still at the hospital and can move the lower part of his finger so hopefully will still be able to play the instruments.
Didn't say who dialled the number for him though

Well thats for the year, were already about set for next year as well. Thanks to all that came, well done to the Iron Awe pair for coming 1st and 2nd in the competition and winning the tag team. Well done to Tiny Hurtz in the feathers, not bad for a first outing. Thanks to all the crew for the hard work, thanks to Adrian and Terry for helping with the arena, i would have been in bed for midnight if it wasn't for dad doing his usual trick of loosing his keys and phone, found the keys this morning but if anybody happens to find a PDA let me knoe :P . Best wishes to Mike, get well soon old man, and a big thanks to those that helped out, especially Tim for driving his van back.

We'll be at the NEC in March and will kick off next year back at Whitwick in February.

Hi everybody, first off thanks for all your concern, good wishs, texts, e-mails and dark humour (you know who you are!).
For those that don't know I had about 20mm of my left ring finger cut off when Pressure's flipper dropped whilst loading it into the arena.
I was being assisted in the loading and, despite a warning not to, the flipper was pushed up in the effort to get the bot in.
This made the locking bar drop out and the rest is history.
The irony is I was watching and warning him to mind his fingers as he had his hand under the front of the machine at the time.
Weapon locks are often the subject of debate as some are ineffective and/or risky to remove, the committee are on it at the moment.
One of the main problems is that the variety of robots makes a standard difficult to establish.
Hopefully we can set a guidline with a testing system for weapon locks and make it part of the tech check.
Finally (almost) I would like to say a special thanks to Tim and Meryl for getting me and my van home, for Ian, Richie, John and jake (and anyone else that helped) for loading it.
To Clive and assistants for, in true, professional police standards, conducting a fingertip search of the incident site.
Mike.
PS The committee has decided that, to stay in line with descimination laws, the robot fight end countdown will be changed.
It will now be:
9and3/4, 8and3/4, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Cease.
