What Motivates people ????

[xtreme]

I always think WOW when I see your robots Calum, usually the WOW is followed by that thing looks really heavy

I'm motivated to come to events because the people are great, I get to see and a compete in a sport I have loved since the day I saw it, and it keeps me technically active (my job is not the most stimulating)

Well for me ....

i just wrote a long post and lost the post as the hotel connection decided to pack up as i hit post so it got lost .... :sad: :sad: :sad:

So i will do a sort version ......

ALL OF IT !!!!!!!!!

OH and biggest motivation is ... Seeing my son Shane Crowned THE UK CHAMPION !!!!

For me (like most people) it gives me something to do, and im also living out a childhood dream.
I have loved robots since i was 3, and was the only thing i could talk about! (my teachers got a bit annoyed when i kept on answering Hypno-Disc to their questions :P)
And now that im in my teens, i often find myself bored, but thinking up new designs for robots, looking up parts and making them has become a hobby i absolutely love doing.
It also means i get to travel quite a bit - if i wasnt doing this then i probably would of never of gone to see an Air Tattoo in Fairford or even gone near Guildford!
Winning is nice but i just love driving my robots around and being able to entertain people with whatever i build (say Alejandro + swimming noodle for example :P)
I also love the fact i can express my creativity on my robots :P (you should all see what i have in mind for Teeth lol)

Social side is a big ++++ as at events im quiet busy and dont get much chance to chat....

Entertaining the crow also a big ++++ as i like to see happy audiences and lets face it thats where the new bloods are potentially coming from ....

And being the best becoming No1 ....
