congrats to the winners !!

Got home at 4am, quick hours sleep in the truck before unloading.

two new records set...

Loading the two trucks 5pm friday - 2hrs20 minutes.
Unloading after 1 hours sleep at 5am - 1hr55 minutes.

And thats just myself, and paul my helper !!

Sorry trevor once again for what major damage did..... pure accident .... was funny though.

Ok so feather weights can stop the monster.. like putting a car on bricks !!

Of course there was no pint putting a new floor down for guildford, better to wait for the UK champs.

Work now begins tomorrow morning after a good night sleep in a minute... getting things ready for fairford... signups, seeds, plans, etc....

thanks to all the roboteers for two fantastic shows, we have already booked in again for 2009, and nice to see some new faces of which we welcome you to the show for the future !

Does anyone have any photos of Luke collecting his trophy as my camera died at the time.

Luke was really pleased to win the Tanja Memorial Trophy. Slept all the way back in the van clinging onto it and rushed in to show his mum when I dropped him off.

Just a shame Hydra played up again. Really annoying when all you need to do is make up a lead and you looked at the connectors on the way out and thought nah I wont need them.
