words can not express my loathing for flippers, they remind me of armour plated slugs with a bad attitude

But look on the bright side you lost too

Well thats where your wrong, I just wasn't 1st !.Im very pleased with where I got not sure where yet ! but I am seeded but just didn't get into the top 4, will know soon and also got a trophy for winning one of the main shows !

I think saint was also pitted in another battle.

Just been watching robot wars on Dave to find an annihilator with Kan opener looking exactly the same.

Well, I know that my team finished 2nd with Envy and 4th with Thor. A huge well done goes to Jonno for winning the final with Ripper and not also forgetting really bringing the spirit of Robot Wars alive, it was without a doubt the best event I have been to as RR just gets better and better, keep it up guys

Pics and footage will be up very soon!

Congratulations to John , Trevor & the crew of RR for a fantastic event. First time in this sort of format and after Friday's frustrating (for everybody) dress rehearsal the event ran vey well. The new way of entering the arena with a robot was far superior from an audience point of view, bringing far more theatrics & drama to the event. Very well done.

Congratulations to all the winners over the weekend, Jonno that was some fantastic driving - you are now the one to beat!

We had great fun with Scorpion at the event, we won our first competition fight against 3 flippers. I wouldn't call them slugs Craig in our battle two of them were more like turtles stuck on their backs and the other one was impersonating a begging puppy

Many teams worked very hard, no-one more so than Team Bud as their robots always seemed to be in one after the other & then at the same time, congratulations on a very successful event for you

Just like to say thanks to Jonno, Trevor and everyone at Roaming Robots for a brilliant event. All the hard work definately paid off as the shows looked great from the audience perspective.

The new loading method took a bit of getting used to but by sunday everyone seemed to get the hang of it.

Very well done to Jonno and Ripper for winning the UK Champs- you deserved it after all your hard work getting the event to happen.

Also well done to Swanny, Rob and Jason for 2nd, 3rd and 4th as well as Alan for winning the Annihilator again.

We had loads of fun throughout the event with too many things to mention but I think the thought of dad and Clive getting very 'close' to each other will remain with me for some time

Anyway, thanks again to everyone for a great event and here's hoping we get to do it all again

We had the most amazing time, thanks to all involved, especially Jonno and the crew who were just super-human, and for him to win the event too was purely showing off!
Far too many people to thank individually, so just a great big thank you from team Die Gracefully Robotics to you all for making it such a pleasure. Special mentions for Chris who did a sterling job as commentator, keeping the crowds entertained, and to the collective teams of Terrorhurtz and Tiberious for giving me what was hopefully the closest thing to a heart attack I'll ever recieve!
Wilhelm's Scream is in perfect working order and will return to the arena soon!
