Re: 10th May 2009 - Roaming Robots - Aylesbury Town Centre

just got back, thanks guys i sure had fun

mythras only got running with the help of some very nice people you guys know who you are but id like to thank you again :P : thanks to ed for doing a huge amount of work for us, thanks for the led and batteries btw

thanks to the owners of the carrying cradle for letting us borrow it and Trevor for identifying some possible reasons why we couldnt get it running at the beginning

thanks also to clive for the wire and the dantomkia guys for giving us loads of ideas

but a very large thank you to the roaming robots crew for a brilliant day out


the battles were very entertaining, my first fight against dantomkia seemed to go well accept for us dropping a chain , we even managed to wedge him into the side wall at the end but i guess dantomkia would've done better if his tank hadnt exploded right before the fight lol

the second fight was a bit more destructive, tilly evo made a bit of a mess of our wiring and our lid flew of at the end

anyway a great event guys...we will be back...

Thanks for the chance to display our antweights once again, we got some good enquiries, so we hope that our community will continue to grow.

And we managed to run antweights just about all day. I'll bring some run-all-day bots for the next big event, and we will hopefully keep the audience entertained between HW and FW battles.

Re: 10th May 2009 - Roaming Robots - Aylesbury Town Centre

Having had my old car speared through the side by a scaffolding pole I know how frightening it can be getting hit by debris - let alone while driving at high speed.
Glad to know that all are ok and hope they get home safe and soon.

UPDATE ON THE UPDATE.
Toon Army home safely,shame we didn't have Puck with us or we would have got here sooner.
Karoline we were not hit by Debris but by Leeds, We were vehicle number 6 hit by bricks on this bit of road since last night, and the police helicopter is out of action. at least the Commander in Chief liked the traffic cop.
Thinking of trying for sponsorship from Green Flag
Apart from this a great weekend again, thanks Jonno and crew, see you all in Swindon.

Re: 10th May 2009 - Roaming Robots - Aylesbury Town Centre

Another succesfull Ayelsbury Out Door Event !

This was the 6th year we have been in the town centre, what started off down on the cobles with our small pay to drive arena, has now grown into something very impressive.

The town centre manager wanted me to say thankyou to all that attended, and for putting on a great show. This goes for me too.

Put the same date in your diary for 2010, as long as they get the funding, they definately want us to return again.

See you in Swindon.
