You'd just have to fight the urge to stick an 'R' on the end of that name

Only just noticed that there is a countdown clock on the Robo Challenge homepage, and with only 40 days to go, there should be some trash talk flying about by now. So, ahem....

SPINNERS FOR WINNERS
Flippers wear slippers

Re: 2010 Featherweight UK Championships - 3 Days September

Im really hoping my new machine may be finished in time however i think that may be a little optimistic lol. There are quite a few spinners entered this year. Number of flippers are certainly down. Its going to be crucial who can keep their machine reliable.

Re: 2010 Featherweight UK Championships - 3 Days September

Any chance of getting a sneak peek of who/what is currently entered?

[james...venom]

Re: 2010 Featherweight UK Championships - 3 Days September

not yet

We are expecting the spinners to take another leap forward with some new technology around. Also we have a few come backs which look interesting. Surprised by the lack of flippers this year so far.

Re: 2010 Featherweight UK Championships - 3 Days September

Fair enough, was worth a shot

Reliability is going to be a big thing I think as you said James, especially for the spinners. Spent the weekend beforehand last year bashing the robot around with/against Hornet, which was a big help in highlighting any problem areas and fixing them, rather than discovering them in the arena, and the results spoke for themselves with both machines I believe.

Depending on if there is an entry cut-off date soon or if it's just going to be before the draw, there's still a few weeks for more flippers to get in, although I won't be complaining if the flipper numbers stay the same

Re: 2010 Featherweight UK Championships - 3 Days September

Definatly reliability is going to play a big part at these champs. As I said for our video I was very impressed by drum rolls upgrades which radically improved the performance last year. If the new machine drives well and can take the big hits I think it could be a contender, be under no illusions though, I think the steps forward made by the big teams this year could well be bigger than last year. Which is incredible.
