I also thought it was a great event. A marvelous venue, very well organised and enthusiastically supported by the crowd (even after Mute had managed to stop the show again
).
We managed to win a bout for the first time (which we were quite pleased about
) and then were the first to enter the pit in the melee (which we were less pleased about :sad but thats normal.
Thanks very much to Jonno and the crew.Comment

I think I need a new camera as well as a new flipper - all mine came out badly. If anyone has any pictures or videos they can share that would be great.Comment

Rob You Bas***d!
Yes I really enjoyed today ,,was dead pleased with Chips lifter and we didnt break down!!..
Great crowd with Mexican waves, and plenty of foam hands etc.
Well done to the RR crew for another great show.
Finally an explanation of the perm...
In 1978 when I was British Gas apprentice I had a perm as a bet..it then stuck and I continued to have it permed for a further 23 years! My wife (a hairdresser) continued to do it but after many years of statements like..You are the only man I know who has a perm and, You are a 70s throwback I went to the barbers and had a No 1 cut.
Since I joined Rob in Team Chip it was always the No1 or No2 cut and none of the new roboteer mates I have made have seen me otherwise....hence the re perm now for a laugh....I will now let it grow out and it will never be seen again...will still have it at Enginuity though!
Just thought an explanation was needed.

Good show for the public, hope cutlet is ok what with Air flipping it and slamming into it a few times, oh wait that bit was us, dont think we crushed it too much when we picked it up
Had a good test with our new feather as well even if weve gone through 4 motors.
Only 2 bad points though that i feel must be mentioned. One is the space in the pits, struggled to do anything on those small tables. The other is in the second session, no one new what was going on. Every 10 minutes fights were being moved & canceled. I was ready to leave at one point but in the end glad that we stayed for the melee. It would have been better just to have a meeting before hand telling everyone how the fights were going to be organised.
Jonno, I thought you said you had a working pit
Sam, hope youre ok and have a speedy recovery. (Those that dont know what happened dont jump to conclusions)Comment

I was at the 12:00 show and thought it was a great event. It was good to finally see some of the bots and the arena in person. Good performance by all concerned and well worth attending.

Just a postscript to Marks working pit comment. Did anyone else think that the floor flipper was less powerful than at Aberystwyth?Comment

Jonno and the team - well done I thought it was one of the best venues so far and that goes for both Roboteers and audience - who at times threatened to engulf the MC and arena hazard control area! Never thought I would be scared of little kids but there were so many of them and all so exited!!Comment
