2011 Roaming Robots FRA HW Champs @ the O2

**robotwars** · 26th April 2011, 10:40

Hi Guys,

Well firstly i want to say a huge thankyou to all you guys, without your hardwork and patience we wouldnt have pulled it off.
I know Friday was a little frustrating for you, getting there there early and then having to hang around.

The rehersal was such a good idea, as it highlighted faults in the system, and our technical crows nest had issues with the new technology.

But as i knew, by the sunday night show we had it sussed !! Did you know our record turn around time was 3 minutes and 22 seconds. Thats from cease being called, to the doors closing on the arena. Pretty good i think !! Nearly as good as a redbull pit stop.

What a dream, an event at the O2, and to win the UK champs and be up there with the likes of Chaoe 2 and Ironawe 5.... soooooo Chuffed !! Ive rebuilt ripper's insides so many times, but I dont think i need to change anything now.

We now have to go away and look at the future and see what we can replicate at guildford. This kind of event is now our future.

Thanks to the crew, it hasnt been plain sailing, with the new build, new company structure etc... but we got there in the end !!

See you soon.

John

On behalf of my team I'd like to thank the Roaming Robots crew for a fantastic event. It was nice being able to play with the heavyweights again and I for one am very pleased that both our heavies came back home relatively unharmed. Also a huge thank you to Froggy for his hard effort and care he put into Bullfrog, it will definitely be put to good use.

Has Bullfrog Breed been sold then? Also any idea of when the DVD will be released?
