Ripper R.I.P(uck)

Gutted...... what a poor performance !!!

Beast and Ripper suck !!!

We should have stopped with stinger instead of taking the motor out to put in ripper.

:sad:

Sorry to hear that Jonno

how is the Saint doing? I hope it has not been the usual embarrassment it is to me!!
Hope the legs haven't dropped off Pilgrim

[robotwars]

have you not heard !!!!



First it puts a saint sized hole in the polycarb !!!! yes massive hole.
Then it breaks a floor pannel.
Then it gets flipped and the spike goes through the floor into the tarmac !!

Its done the most damage, done the most fights, and hasnt broken down !!

Most destructive robot here !!!

Good performance!

See embarrassing!!! Love the pictures

Please convey my apologies to the organisers for the damage,

Glad it hasn't broken down.

Say Hi to Ian for me, It was so kind of him to bring the robots along with him.

How are things going today?

Craig
We didn't run Saint on Saturday as Pete was worried about more damage to the arena. I was going to put it in the final melee but John asked me to drive Beast.

Apocalypse was a major embarrisment as it really struggled all week, it is now stripped down and still not behaving properly starting to run out of ideas why the drive electronics are playing up.

A really fun event, thanks to all the crew and organisers.

Thanks Ed I never thought I would here that about Saint!!!

How did the other robots do Jonno and John, had a few problems with theirs, was that drive issues too?

[geeza]

John had a problem with Beast's flipper, but got it working by Saturday. And Jonno had some probs as well but Ripper was working very well by the end minus human error. But it wasn't working soon enough!
