If someone does the driving, David & I will gladly go........any offers?

Mind you, whether anyone would like to be in the company of a 5 year old in a car on a nearly 9 hour trip and coming back for him to face school the next morning is another matter hence reason for me not travelling up in my own car plus flights are far too expensive :sad:

Just got back from Edinburgh and it was rather good. I must admit I partially felt like it was going to be the 7th war all over again after the first fight (OOTA fest) but I was pleasantly surprised when it wasnt. Fights of the night (and day) were Terrorhurtz/Thor/Velocirippa (show 1), Ripper/Ewe2/Merlin (show 1), Dantomkia/Terrorhurtz/Ripper/Big Nipper (show 2) and most of the feather battles. The new format works well, as each robot gets roughly the same number of fights with less chance of any re-matches (feathers aside, as more of them fight at once). The circular arena is pretty good, even though its unfinished afaik. (can it take heavy spinners as well as feathers?)

I couldnt see show 3 because I had to get home. Thanks to the guy who offered to show me round the pits (dont know who it was) and to everyone for a great show, see you all again at Doncaster.
(where I might have some questions, as Im starting the learning process for feather building)

Just got back. Good event and a good turn out for the distance. There was some weird man we meet in the service on the way back.

That would be me then Dave .........Unshaven and eyes on stalks after all the driving!

We enjoyed the event. Another 7 points in the bag . Although Ripper is going to take some catching. Another clean sweep for Jonno and Steve. How will we stop them (sweet papers and links springs to mind! LOL).

Ive just watched the EWE2, THZ, Chomps, and Velocirripa fight again. Dont beat yourself up Stu...as the rules stand I think you got it right. (The rules stink though!)LOL. THZ did hit us 11 times! (No damage caused) . Its something that could be talked about for the future as I think the audience were a bit bemused. Ill upload the video later to get other views.

Well done to THZ in that fight. The kid from the audience on the axe certainly has a future in the sport.

Im not bitter, just very twisted.

Were booked in at the travel inn in Warndon as well, see you in the bar Ian and if Mikes there slap him like that again ::grins::

enjoyed the weekend immensely. Unfortunately I have just lifted the lids off Velocirippa and the mouse and the damage is considerable.
I had a 250;1 ratio gearbox motor for vel steering, I have only found 2 out of the 24 gears (thanks chomp) and thx has smashed the steering mech on the mouse. Still thats Robotwars.

see you all at Worcester
