Well i am finally back home. It took 10 and a half hours and a lot of coffee but I made it.

Sadly neither of the bots were effective as mentioned earlier due to a lack of ground clearance.

Congrats to dave, ed and james along with all the other teams that did well.

A big thanks to the RR crew for putting on the event. I would also like to thank everyone that offered me advice on which direction to head in robot wise. Lets just say you havent seen the last of that big disc

A big thank you to John and the RR crew for all their hard work in staging this event.
Congrats to Turbulence for an excellent performance. However Dave its worth remembering for future events its far more interesting if your robot only works properly in about 1 in 3 fights like ours... :wink:

Thanks to everyone who took part and RR for holding the event. Special thanks to Shane for helping when we needed him and to Storm II for giving us our hardest fight of the tornament 1 min 12 seconds I believe.

Secret weapon didnt do so well but very well to Sophie who did a better job than me driving.

btw David OOTA means Out Of The Arena

Will put photos and a report on the website as soon as I can.

See you all in about a month, so people can get some payback, lol. Hope the crew manage to get packed up before the predicted 3am tomorrow morning sorry I couldnt stay longer. But thanks again for a great event.

Big congrats to Turbulence for winning the HW title - you were consistently strong all the way through the competion.

Congrats also to FW champions Captain Scarlet - I agree with Johns comments above - didnt get to see much of what was going on in the end which was a shame :sad:

To Sarah (Dantomkia) - Great win in a very tough competition. You drive it better than Mike ever could (at the very least you know where the pit is and how to avoid it) :wink:

Kronic - The international champions - my money was on you for the HW title but you faced some VERY tough opponents to win this with style.

My special congratulations goes to the inaugural winner of the Tanja Smith Memorial Trophy, Tim from Team ADHD (Hades) driving Hannibalito. Special thanks also to Leo. Everyone dressed up their robots in pink for the occasion which was great to see.

Anyway I had a great time - was able to put many faces to names: Gary - We met at last - youve been a victim of my wit on the forum many a time Alistair - you have the makings of a nice solid machine which can and will get better. The Belgian and Dutch roboteers - we dont see each other often enough. Matt & Wendy (Sewer Snake) - Its been great to see you here. You have given us new ideas and have entertained us all. Hope to see you again soon.
Everyone that was there - hope you had as much fun as I did but after 5 days I was knackered!!!
