10 years of Roaming Robots !!

[robotwars]

10 years ago Roaming Robots was at its debue event at the Newark kit car show !!
I had passed out after no sleep after I went in the back of the van to get my coat !
Happy birthday to us !!!

Thankyou to ALL previous staff who maybe aren't with us anymore, the current crew, and all the roboteers. A big Thankyou !!
I remember the scepticism from quite a few people about what could or couldn't be achieved but we proved you wrong !!

Hope we last another 10 years !!

There's going to be a big bang to robot world very soon, remember when Jonnos quiet, it means he's working on something, be warned ;-)

See you at Guildford !!

Remember the day well, Mighty Mouse was one of the first if not the first machine in there.

Was one of the sceptics, but from the moment of walking into the hall and seeing the arena was instantly converted.

It must be remembered that at that time we used to meet in car parks and the only other arena was Debenham - and RW of course - but Jonno was mobile. It transformed my hobby and I will always be grateful.

Having seen some of the c*** he has had to take and the financial knock backs over the years I reckon we should be throwing the party, 10 years is a mighty acheivement.

Thanks Jonno

Congrats to Jonno and the Team, shame Lee isnt still about to see 10 Years.

Still remember all the discussions about getting started, things were simpler then.

Re: 10 years of Roaming Robots !!

Dave you were either number 1 or number 2.
Lee was the other ! I remember the chats about how I wasn't going to waste your money LOL

Re: 10 years of Roaming Robots !!

Hi John,

I was No. 1 Lee was No2. I remember the first event I attended, and the Robot died as soon as it went in the areana.

Good days!!!.
