Congrats to all the winners, to John for bringing the spare cells (Ill send you an email about the cash), to Clive for letting me use the battleswitch and a big thanks to all the robochallenge guys for an awesome event.

Im not sure why but this event was a cut above previous events. Everyone was having a great time, everyones machines were working well even the spinners! and you never knew who was gonna win the comps (waits for comment from LJ )

I am dead chuffed I finally got hornet to the end of an event with it still working bar some seriously shot batteries. I cant wait to see the footage from the battles and if anyone got pics of hornet at any point then please send me a copy, its the one thing I always forget to do!

Roll on the tag champs

Very well done to Robo Challenge for putting on a first class event.
It was also great to see something of the city we were in for a change. Newcastle is a fascinating city.

First off Id like to say a big well done to Beauty 2 for winning the 2009 UK championships (again!). This time it wasnt so easy!!
Some excellent fights and some unexpected outcomes made the championship extremely unpredictable and exciting - with the spinners lasting almost all the way through the competition it looks like they really are starting to progress!

Well done to all the runners up, and to Alex for winning the annihilator.

Its great to see so many spinners being developed for the few events we hold, it means alot to us that you guys trust us to keep full combat events going!

Our arena shows the sign of good combat - this is the first event we will need to make some repairs, and luckily not to the new floor.

A big thanks goes out to Clive and Wendy for all their hard work before the event to get us on the BBC and all the extra bits of advertising they have done for us, its much appreciated! Thankyou.
And also to ALK Engineering for sponsoring the event with kennys excellent cnc machining and the Astroflight charger for 1st place. Great Job!

Well done everyone - you guys made it a championship to remember!

Beauty won again aye? This is going to do wonders for LJs confidence XD. Either way congratz. Sounds like you had to work for that win.

Looking forward to seeing the videos as they upload to you tube.
On my end we did very well and won our two important matches.
First game on Sataday went well with a 5-0 win.
Then after the game we had 30 minutes to recover for our match against Scunthorpe for the league. They scored the first goal but we managed to equalize 10 minutes later. We scored two goals ahead of them and they simply gave up and it ended 7-1. Shame as it started off as a very close match but when your two goals down I guess you loose the point of playing.
I was nackered and still tired. But we celebrated well after staying in the pub past 10 still in our hockey kit.
Sorry again for not coming but will hopefully see you when I see you. Either robots live or roaming robots.

Hi guys,

Well done to Beauty again... your so jammy !! and big hard luck to will.... the peoples choice lol

Well Stripper had an eventful weekend, what i thought would be a one hit wonder... then enjoy a relaxing weekend didnt quite go to plan.

Whod have thought it would still be working for the final mellee of the weekend, and is still driving now !!

Funniest moment - The disc coming off and the base still fighting.... ( not such a good idea to use my mag as a battering ram )

Hardest moment - spending 3 hours putting the gearbox together and proving people wrong that it would fight again !

Most rewarding moment - damaging ploughbot

Most annoying moment - not getting to spin up in the Annihilator final against Tiny Toon GRRR... ( just a battery pack went down )

Got the spinner bug now, Stripper EVO is already planned, just need the coopers to do an event sooner than planned so i can build it.

It was nice to see some great spinners, and they are certainly getting better !

Well done to the crew, enjoyable weekend, and the Toons for their hospitality !!

Looking forward to seeing the fights on You Tube.

John
