Well done to Turbulence for a great win and to all the other competitors along the way.

Was great to see Storm II back on form again, made our efforts worthwhile I think we made it a total of 18 fights across the competition if you include the whiteboards and main comp fights - and thats only that low as we werent allowed to enter any of the other competitions :sad:

Also can I just say a big congratulations to Geoff and John from Team Scorpion for building one of the scariest machines Ive ever come across. No dis-respect intended to the Turbulence team but I was far happier meeting them in the final than I would have been meeting Scorpion, which looking at the fights is probably who wed have met had they not retired. Anyway, just thought that Geoff and John both deserved our congratulations too !

Roll on the Winter Tour

Ed and Tim

Whoops! Sorry Mr Lear, I lost a round there! 5th is still a great finish in such a tough field. So, thats one each for Beast vs Ka-Pow! Lets hope both machines are 100% for the next one- were looking forward to it!

Sewer Snake didnt really find its form in the early stages of the main tournament. It beat us (our flipper wasnt working in that fight) but was beaten by Beast and Kan-Opener. Having run out of spare gearboxes for the weapon motor they used a passive droop-snoot arrangement on the front for the International and whiteboard melees and started to do much better. As mentioned above, in one particular melee they were giving Storm 2 and Behemoth all the trouble they could handle. A very impressive machine when its working right and a charming and friendly team.

Me and Dad got loads of really good photos of Saturday and Sunday that I will upload as soon as they are edited below about 13 meg each. At the moment we have about 1GB of photos - not much use for a web site!

Well done to Turbulence & Captain Scarlet!

Cant remember anything toyota nor IG-88 :sad:

Congrats Dave & James! Deserving victories all round.

I went off in something of a huff on Saturday after being beaten by the arena floor (which Im still not too happy about), but good to hear it all went well on Sunday. At least I had a chance to try my hand a sailing in galeforce winds (and capsizing a few times :blush

Thanks to everybody who worked so hard to make this event happen. And everybody who travelled far... our Scottisch friends, our American friends. Biiiig hug.

Hope to have my own robot in competition next year. In an arena with a more dry and sturdy floor (sorry, people moaning so much about the state of the floor -deteriorating even as you looked at it- it had to be mentioned, it messed up quite a lot of really good fights. There are issues about the arena, but these will be discussed in a more serene frame of mind and preferably not smeared out on this forum.).
I appreciate the hard work of the crew, and the organisation of the fights went as smoothly as my hand over my kittens pelt (who, needless to say, was celebrating the moment we got home. Apparently hes missed us. A lot.) and the turnover of the robots went as fast as said kitten can run away from mischief. All in all that was a marvelous achievement to see happen each and every day of the competition !

Regarding pictures:
At a rate of 15 to 30 minutes per folder (one for each day) my pictures are being transferred from the old (t)rusty laptop to the pc. Then I will have close to 4 gigabites to sort through and get the best pictures out. Then they will be uploaded. I dont know where yet but Ill let you know.
