Event Report

Quite bad really

Eric got his one fight and beat Storm Force somewhat by default, which is good, but really needs the weapon back working again. Also looking at shortening it a bit as the back bit isn't really needed now that the electronics are pretty much all contained in one box whereas before they were huge. So thats something for the future.

Eric Jr got one fight too in the feathers, the other 2 fights the transmitter wouldn't bind to the receiver, the first time it didn't work in the arena, then took it out and one wheel did work. So Glyn and I had a look at it and messed about with the Scorpion which seemed to fix it, second fight it worked well and the flipper was ok, perhaps needs a bit more power though and the third fight it again didn't bind. Apparently the RadioLink gear sometimes doesn't like bonding when theres too many other radios around, and as I had pneumatics I was arming up close to last. At least I got to see how it performed with the other robots.

Cicatrix pretty much just sat there until the very last fight then had a pretty solid outing when Jamie had destroyed all of his other robots and had a go on it. Looked fine, as good as its probably going to get the way it is. Upgrade for it is already set really when I get the cash to build the drum.

So there it is.

I'm probably going to leave them all to gather dust for a few months for a number of reasons, mainly as i'll hopefully have something bigger to report around August/September time, but not confirmed yet.
