Thanks for a great event.

We almost won both featherweight competitions until the arena stopped us (well done Stu!:wink

We will be getting our revenge at colchester though with an improved Aftershock, more reliable Shockwave and hopefully the all new Whirlpool Evo.

Congratulations to the winners,

Two fantastic shows, and a continuation on what is looking like a fantastic year ahead for Roaming Robots.

Our newest addition to the family, the daleks and Star Wars characters went down a storm... hopefully we will be seeing more of them as they added so much to the intervals when the robots were being loaded.

Time for a couple of weeks off to enjoy fatherhood, before getting ready for colchester where our new house robot will be officially launched, plus a few other things along the way.

See you all later.

Mark was saying that one of the mosfets blew along with a capasitor that evaporated.

Sounds painful . Ive seen the best bits - I think its AWESOME!

All over Big Nips, so you should be after we lost steering 20 seconds into the fight.

Personally I think that The Saint should have won since Kan-Opener went for a disabled robot for the whole fight

After watching Tonys vid its clear we lost drive to one side after being slammed againsts the arena sidewall by KO and was unable to steer. It just got worst from there.

Not looked at the damage yet, other that at the event but looks simple enough to fix. Just replace the FET board for that motor, clean up the black stuff and with a bit of luck nothing else will be damaged, wiring looks intacked but will know more when we look at it this weekend.
