Not doing much to Saint the garage is too cold.I was going to change the speed controller in Pilgrim but the garage is still too cold so I will probably put the old one back in and just take the other over as a spare or change it there.

Re: 14th to 16th of January 2010 - RoDs Dublin, Ireland

Just want to say a big thanks to all the guys in Dublin for all the effort in making us so welcome. Congratulations to the Iron Awes for the first and second place in the competition. Lots of fun, but hard work doing 6 shows per day loads of people over the 3 days probably over 6000!
The Saint went well and I managed to keep my 100% record in not winning competitions when the saint€™s axe got stuck in the closed door of the arena!
Pilgrim worked quite hard trying to break dance at the beginning of the shows.

Maddest event of the year (always is!).
Great team over there:
Pete, Zulu, Joe, Joe (there are two) and all.
Batteries went on Puck, thanks for the loan of a pair Craig.
Two busted gas fittings, broken ram mounts and leaking valve for Mantis. :shock:
Blown speedo for Pressure (my fault, loose screw inside!), thanks for the repair Ian.
Ball thrower bust on wheely bin.
A few more dents and scratches for Odo. :|
As always everyone pulled together to keep all the bots running and put on some great shows.

Well done to everyone for a great time in Dublin, especially our Irish hosts. Pete. Zulu. Joe and all the others that made it happen.
I don't know where your boot has gone Pete but maybe its run (or should that be HOPPED) off with my hat! the one with the flaps for keeping your ears warm! It's a bit old and worn but if anyone has found it I would like to get it back.
Special thanks to Jackie for keeping me supplied with cups of tea. and to all the other roboteers for being such good company.

See you all soon, Gilbert.

A big thanks to all the roboteers for putting on a great show.

Well done to the Iron Awes for 1st and 2nd place. You finally got a Zulu trophy! (Still owe you one for your previous win).
Well done to Beast and Merlin for joint third place.

Special thanks to Mike and Ian for bringing and running (and repairing) so many robots. 11 in total between them if I counted correctly.

The show was a great success and we hope that we can do it again next year!

p.s. Didn't find any shoes, hats or socks. Did find about 40 yo-yos though.
