NEW ! Dutch full contact live event, 25/26 April 2009 !
Re: NEW ! Dutch full contact live event, 25/26 April 2009 !
Well After a round trip off 1072 miles We went with all the intetions of coming back with a trophy ...... Mrs Scorpion was ready in full battle trim .....
Unfortunately Due to Unforseen circumstances the Arena was not able to withstand her running full combat so she fought a brave fight with no disc ....1st fight =Win
2nd fight lost drive on one side = Lost 3rd fight Drive prob again so retired ....
On the other hand Tilly Evo 1st Fight no gas = Win 2nd Fight =Win 3rd Fight = Win 4th Fight = Win 5th Fight very close but battery failed = Lost ....

Firstly. Awesome event so thanks to everyone involved. Well done to the winners! The roboting was good but to be honest, my dad and I just went for fun rather than the fighting. The venue was good with all the other events going on inc. drag races, drift races, extreme tractor pulling, jet truck (Swanny and I couldn€™t get enough of the jet truck!). Videos and pictures to come but none of robots!

Just to add to my post above :
Was a great event well done to the dutch crew for staging such an event, bar the miss hap with the roof all was good .... didnt see much of the rest of the events going on too busy with the robots .... All in all a good event and congtatulations to all the winners .
I think everyone had a real good time in a relaxed sort of way ...
MANY THANKS to the dutchman who woke us up at 3.30 am wanting a drink of water ( Lucky i didnt come out me tent ) ........
Re: NEW ! Dutch full contact live event, 25/26 April 2009 !
Oh Pete, you didn't meet the Dutchman who didn't want to go to sleep then. Or the one who woke up and decided everybody had to wake up too... at 6 am.
Me, I go to bed early yet I can understand that people want to have fun during the evening. However, having a boom-box parked next to your tent is not my idea of fun really. But that's what earplugs are for I guess.
For the rest, I thought it was a nice but a bit primitive, and very dusty, event. The Dutch are wont to have laid-back easy-going events like this, we only had a larger arena this time. We were very happy to have had some British robots come over.
Pictures are coming, probably this week but I don't know.

Jonno and i had such a good event. Well done to the winners. The robot side of things like Tom Kane said came sort of second to what else was going on. The best bit of the whole trip was WJ taking us out in his car on the drift circuit. I can certainly see why he does it. WHAT A RUSH. William thankyou very much for the thrill of the year. Sorry Envys flipper broke for you i will do better next time for you. Martijn Benschop also had a spin of Envy and he was well pleased having a 100% fight record of fought 1......won 1 well done mate. The rocket truck was just awsome and the V8 lawnmower was just mental. Thanks to all the crew for putting on a good event. I was impressed with the arena and the loading pen and doors. I just love Holland its a beautiful country. Pretty girls too. Marien you are a nice man and you did good my friend. I will defo be at another dutch event. Leo i hope the foot is ok and thanks for the offer to stop at yours and same to Mario. If you do another event at that venue i am coming on my bike and making use of that drag strip.
Me and jonno had a mission to spend least amount of money as possible and i think apart from fuel and ferry we spent a total of around 30 euro the whole weekend betweenthe both of us. Job done. We did rough it tho in a carpark with no showers and water but the circuit toilets made for a nice COLD wash.

Firstly well done to Pete and co for winning, good on you guys
Secondly...Shane asked me to post this, he's gone and put a WJ drifting team sticker on his bike...now if he works out how to drift on a bike we could be on to something
me and my mates r talkin about going to one of the events but will be nothing like being in the car with wj!
my dad came and told me when jonno txt him saying u had just been in wjs car, if the dutch do the event next year we will be there, just bad timing this year pretty gutted tho
Re: NEW ! Dutch full contact live event, 25/26 April 2009 !
Was happy to give you guys a ride Shane
Driving a robot around the arena against Das Gepack was very nice to, felt good to be back behind the controls !
Now, finish the car, house, kitchen, bathroom, camper, feather, then Gravity 5, and off to the uk for a live event !
Congratz to the dutch crew too, and shame about the weather on sunday, otherwise crowd numbers would have tripled.
