Hi Craig,

Looking forward to seeing you again.

Everyone should have recieved the last update email this morning.

Tickets have gone well yet again... so were in for some busy shows !! Not bad to say that this is the fifth year robots have attended this venue !!!


Yes were in the hotel too.... so the saturday night will be fun. Ive just been going through the rooms ive booked for us, and a few other people, i think i have one spare if anyone needs it.

Any probs give me a ring, as im off to load the truck and head down south now.

oops just reread,

Were in the travel inn, not lodge.

Join us though, and we can toast the Saint winning its fights of the day

Andrew,

That is the exact same hot air welding tool we got.

To weld our 5,6 and 10mm HDPE we use this nozzle for it:

Works like a charm.

Andrew, the link you give on Ebay is accurate, and the price, for second hand a bit high, but it could be worse. New these are £300, without any attachments.
HDPE welding wire. Originaly I had a small cardboard box of Einhell HDPE welding rods Pricetag ‚20 for 25 30cm rods.
Then I just bought a rol of 5mm HDPE welding wire, from the same source as our full size HDPE plates. ‚30 for about 300m.

Hints for welding HDPE. Dont let it melt. If its been liquid, it becomes almost unweldable. Also, when working HDPE before welding, do not use any lubrificant, cooling or simular. This will make the surface equaly difficult to weld.

Thanks,Leo
Thanks.Mario
Always good advice

Just come back from the RR shows in Portsmouth. A Very big thanks to all at RR for putting on such a Good show the crowed were great, I even won one fight I think it was fixed just to make me feel better!!! Thanks to all the other Roboteers I€™m sorry I can€™t make the next two events but hope to see you all in the New Year.

Portsmouth was a great event for us!

Both Whirlpool and Shockwave performed brilliantly and mainly due to the audience votes we won 5 out of the 7 featherweight fights over the weekend.

Bring on Maidstone!!!

That does it!! Pillow Torque will be rebuilt with the laser and additional LED running lights :wink:

Nice to have a 2nd place in the competition fight having been idle for so long. Audience was brilliant and Im really looking forward to the rest of the tour.

BTW managed to ditch Small Torques pit magnet but somehow pick up a metal post one

Well if you think Whirlpool has a lot of lights you should see my dads new one.

All im going to say is that the arena wont need lights anymore.

Will, it seems a long time since you first saw robots at your Mums school. It was great to see you and your Dad at Portsmouth. I hope to run into you again.

Best regards.

Mike.
