Roaming Robots, Winter Tour

Ive just got back from Doncaster and Id like to moan.... Id like to moan, cause deep down Im the moaning sort, but sadly I cant.

This event was brilliant, without doubt the best one I personally have ever attended. The organisation by the RR crew surpassed even their high standards, the cooperation from all the roboteers in getting their machines ready for each bout meant that the tight schedule was met and the crowds were equally magnificent.

The winning robots - Terrahurtz for the heavies and Blue for the feathers - deserved their victories, but to use an old clich, everyone who attended were winners.

Thanks again for a most enjoyable weekend.

It was a great event, tons of great battles, well done to Terrorhurtz and Blue. Chompalot, Ewe2 then finally Mute felt the sheer force of the 120psi max flowrate Terrorhurtz. Bits flying off chompalot, Ewe2s High pressure pipe work being ruptured venting all Ewe2s Co2, and fianlly against mute, damagined the tis bits of armour at the front, then finally smashing the top down which then popped the link.

Blue well done for winning all their fights out with with full points well done.

Big Thank you to all the roboteers for getting their robots ready and lined up on time. We managed to do a 11 fights in 2 hour, which was a fight every 11 minutes (minus the 3 minute fight time). Thats a great achievement in its self! Thanks again from all the Roaming Robots Crew.

Glad this ended the 2004 roboteering season on a big bang, 25 Heavy Weights, and 16 Featherweights (41 robots in total) from over 29 different teams.

Once again - big thank you from the Roaming Robots Crew, web site update due very soon, pictures and movie clips of the great finals due to follow very shortly after!

See you all in 2005!!

Hi Honey....Im home!

Had a great weekend - Good crowd too. Great to see everyone pulling together to get Chompy and Ewe2 together again and to see the China Dragon Team - it must have been an eye opener for them.

Whee, a cracking event that was. Lots of robots, lots of action and the continuity throughout was great. Terrorhurtz definitely stole the show with its awesome displays, and that 8-bot flipper fest was awesome too. Also a great performance from Ewe 2 in beating Storm 2, Big Nipper who was dumping robots OOTA and Blue for winning the feather title. (it was the paint job that did it really...) And although it sounds bizarre, the arena light failing actually improved the atmosphere IMO, as those portable floodlights were used instead. (call me what you will)

That sort of event is definitely the way to go in the future.

Only one thing to say, Fantastic. Cant wait to get back to it again next year and I hope that this tour will be repeated too (maybe one in a venue in the South West )

Congrats to TerrorHurtz and Blue on winning and thanks to everyone who made the event such a good one.

Most of it has already been said, but Ill say it again anyway.

We couldnt ask for a better end to the year and the winter tour. Everything went without a hitch and although THz stole the show every robot that fought him deserves a lot of credit, especially Chompalot for being the only robot to last an entire 3 minutes with THz and a special award for the most damage taken.

I really do hope that this format can be repeated next year, well done to Roaming robots, Gary & Crew, and all the roboteers for making this possible.

Amazing !!! I came home with RobotWars buzz!! It was just like being back at filming. Maybe it was because i had to spend so much time fixing the robots and there was loads of pressure on to get things ready..im not sure, it just felt great!

A Big Big thanks to Steve Johnson, Mike Lambert, the Big Nipper Team, and everyone else who helped get EWE2 back together after the THZ fight.

A big thanks to John Reid who has now given me an excuse to be in the garage all over the Xmas hols. ill be an expert welder by the time I get out!

Well done to everyone involved.

Marco, videos and pictures coming soon on the Roaming Robots web site. Phantom filmed the event but no idea what the plans are in their department. But i think Dave Findlay and Paul Kendrick (PK) filmed most if not all the fights anyway. Movie Clips will be on the web site soon, and a possible VCD or DVD or something can be made of the Winter Tour.

Hi everyone.. what a great event, shame that Pillow Torques battery connection came out in the first fight, we might have made the final.:wink: Congratulations to Blue for winning the feather weight final.
As usual THz was spectacular, and all his fights were brilliant. Thanks goes to everyone who helped put his victims back together again.

Well done to Jonno and the RR crew for a fantasic and well organised winter tour. Lets hope there are more events like this.
