Re: A return to television

seems it's from my free video editing software, i'm trying to play around again to see if it will sync it up again

Re: A return to television

I really enjoyed it, i agree about the constant cutting during the fights, but other than that, couldn't fault it. Great to see new stuff back on the TV and shows a show can be made for a relative small production cost.

Well done Dave, hopefully we'll see a series next year! One year i'll make it over!

Re: A return to television

just finished watching them all, i wish HW spinners were still legal since they put on such a great show!

even if we could limit the size/weight/power of them, just to bring them all back into the arena

Re: A return to television

Just watched it all, really cracking battles! Particularly the Last Rites v Original Sin/Sewer Snake fights. And I can't believe I used to be indifferent towards the Touro family of robots

It's probably just all talk at the moment but I'm now really tempted to go over for next year's games. It's the first time I could probably afford it, and besides, they need a proper Scots team over there, not some Yanks in Scots kilting

How about a collective UK attendance effort next year?

Someone should start up a fund or something to get the money to get some people + robots over there. I'd donate.

Re: A return to television

That should be what our Team Scotland middleweight effort turns into Jamie, sack the middleweight aspect of it and build a heavy for that next year .

Although, if we did do that we probably couldn't use the excuse of Its too far everytime we're asked to drive to England for an event

Has ComBots lost interest in the featherweight category, then?

Good program BTW. I think the contest came out really well. Grant came across brilliantly as a presenter.

Why not bring back typhoon 2?

Re: A return to television

It's not my machine and it's still busted up from when it last faught in the US 5 or 6 years ago. There are plans to rebuild it purely for display and small demo purposes

Re: A return to television

Thanks for posting those videos Gary. It was a great show. I will make it back to Robogames next year - it is far and away the best robot event currently running anywhere.

Combots has not lost interest in feathers - they have places for 16 of them and as of today only two are registered. You can get a feather on the plane as checked luggage - that's what I did last year. Combots is also running 1 lb, 3lb, 60 lb, 120 lb and 22lb robots.

I'll add in the autonomous 1 and 3 pound classes. Just haven't yet.

Re: A return to television

I suppose Beetles would be a nice easy option to take across the pond! You could carry them in your hand luggage, just remove any sharp blades and what not...

I'ts funny how a lot of the American robot were similar to eachother but very different to those in Britain. The block o' cheese flipper is big here and the Fit-as-many-tyres-as-I-can-on-a-ram-bot-shaped-like-a-VCR is popular there. Would be interesting to see how they would stack up against each other.....

Flippers don't seem to be big and the semi's was 3 rambots and a Hori bar spinner!
