Just got home.
Thanks very much to Craig and his crew for a wonderfull event.Yes there were teathing problems but how many EOs had a perfect first event?Loved the scoring system, very impressed with the way that Simon the judge kept the drivers informed every time a point was scored.Great that there is another type of event compared to the normal events.
Congratulations to Karoline on reaching the final,it was very close,(3-3) till you lost drive( it was I understand Kennys fault ) also to Will, 2 robots in the last 4, some going.
Now all we have to do is to get Alex to put his trophy down.Hopefully he wont sleep with it again tonight.
Finally congratulations to Alex.We are very proud of you.

Is it too much to ask for the full results off someone? Would love to know who beat who. Also, can someone explain this scoring system for those who werent there?

Interesting...seems to favour powerful pushers over all other types, but its nice to have a new type of event around.

Not really, if you get hit by a spinner you could richochet over the line thus your opponent scores a point, similarly with being flipped over the line. What it does ensure that there are potentially 3 minutes of close contact fighting and the only way it could end early is by some failure of your robot.

Firstly can I thank everyone for coming you made for a great show, Id like to thank Brian, Colin, Derek, Chris,Pete, Mary and Amanda for all their efforts on the day, I couldnt of done it without you all.
enough of the Grammy speech

It was brilliant to see the points system work, as always the rambots coped better, in RW flippers took 3 years to evolve into the dominant force and spinners took even longer I think were gonna see a much more rapid evolution in the system
The points system only favors pushers for now!

You all did so well, cheers to McHarg team, Gary, Tony, Simon and everyone else who got their hands dirty for the cause.
A big BIG thank you to our scape goat Kenny for being such a good sport, an after all you know it was your fault

Thank you everyone for making my day and our special guest for a rare appearance
