well done to everyone who took part it was a great event. can i just say to Rob that if i ever get my hands on it my dads welder will become non existant.

we may have come 4th and after the battering from terrorhurtz where we drove out of the arena i believe my robot has lost some weight as it is now about an inch thinner and to gas it up i may just have to put the whole robot on the scales due to the fact the flipper doesnt go up enough to allow the gas bottle out, thanks John team terrorhurtz it was a great battle and next time the outcome may be different.. but lets just say my dad has a lot of work to do.

thanks to everyone who took part though it was wonderful and i had loads of fun hope the next UKs are this good.

Yeah she was on TVX instead ! Which i swear has more of a kick than WKD, and cheaper still - hence why Sarah had them on school night as you know students cant afford that much. LOL!

Hi. From a VIP piont of view, we had an absolute absolute absolute excelent time . Even Lesley (my wife) said she enjoyed it. Daniel lost his voice by the end of nearly every show (which was good as we did all 6). I tried my best with supporting 3,2,1s but was worried I would not be able to order more beer (Poretti), crisps and popcorn. Who needs a copy of the video we made to include in the final DVD? Im looking forward to next year already, probably because Ill woop all your hides..., being on the other side of the pits that is. Thanks to every one who put up with my incessent questions about speed controllers, motors and armour. A nicer bunch of people I have never met. Angela, you are forgiven for throwing us out of the pits on the second day, every one needs their sleep. Best regards to all from half of the picnicers.
P.s. is there a Team WOT out there? if not its ours - Team Wilson On Tour.
Thanks. Gordon

Ah yes we did meet... I said great music, c..p PA... I think it turns out there must have been a problem with the rear right set of speakers, they were quite intermittant loud and quiet. 130% excelent on the pyros they really added effect. Especially when you set them all off and Angela nearly jumped over the arena... ha ha ha LOL-still makes me laugh now. 120% excelent on music choice too. I think theres a few others you can put in there too (PM later). The smoke drifting up from the pit edges when shut was also cool. Once you set off a pit pyro and i thought it was Tuff as nails speed controler - made me jump for sure. Are there any rules about mounting pyros on robots? That could be fun...hmmmm! All you need now is the angle grinder and sparks and your job is complete!
Cheers, Gordon

Gordon, welcome to the club Glad you enjoyed the champs.

To answer your question see rule 12.8 and rule 12.6.1 within the FRA rules.

Basically its a case of getting in touch with the organiser and arranging it with them.

just been reading about the missing transmitters? sounds a bit worrying, was this whilst they were handed in during fights? or whilst in your possession? as i have 2 spektrums and wouldnt be too chuffed if this happened to me.
