Fantastic fun, and had a great laugh. Well done to the Robo Challenge crew for a great weekend. Was well organised (even Kay organising 3 or 4 fights in advance).

We€™ll done to Beauty and Prolodju.

Iv got videos of a lot of the fights, drop me an email (dave@robotslive.co.uk) if any one needs any fights.

Cheers,
Dave

Great, and really safe event. Thanks to all event organizers and competitors! Id like to see more raptors next year to get a bit more fights with them. I didnt get that much damage on Pro-lodju, only the lower bearing needs changing, some bearing housing upgrades to prevent bearings coming out and sharpening the blade. I will be also making it faster to drive, now it was way too slow to get the best hits. We will fly back to Finland today and i really hope that airport safety checks will go ok, as they might be interested of robots and lipo batteries...

We just got out of bed. Travelling can be a tad exhausting.

Great event, well organised barring a few minor details. Good atmosphere and good robots. Congratulations to the winners of the -sometimes quite spectacular- fights. Most of my pictures are on Leos laptop and I dont know when Ill get them but well put them online as soon as possible.

Thanks to John Lear for setting up his Palace of Knossos we could sleep in. He put it up in the pouring rain, bless him.

Big thanks to the Robo-challenge crew, it was a great event, ran as slick as any ive seen and in the superb arena.

Congrats to the winners Beauty and Prolodju.
Id not seen many feather/rapter competitions previously and was really impressed by the quality of battles over the weekend.

I would also like to say that I was very impressed with the perfomance of the robots from Finland. Purse, the feather is a very good flipper and well built. Prolodju is awesome. Viilake and Hyperion looked great too.

Never mind, it is a optical illusion since the sides are sloaped it looks higher and shorter.

Here are some pictures of Nebelwerfer vs Kaizer:

Theyre some pretty damn good pics of Nebelwerfer against Kiazer, captures all the good hits - although I didnt realise the battle lasted that long to get that many pictures. It seemed to be over pretty quickly

Got some pictures online as well now - http://s31.photobucket.com/albums/c367/ayrshirerobotics/Robochallenge%202007/http://s31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...llenge%202007/

Yeah was quite an amazing fight Jamie, amazing that you were able to fight again. I like DB5 with a full pressure system on, shame it would be over weight.

Great event, exceptionally run. Thank you to everyone that made it a success. Im sure next time Robo Challenge put on such an event even more improvements will be seen and I certainly look forward to it. Congrats to all the winners and runners up for their well deserved places.
