Re: 2010 Featherweight UK Championships - 3 Days September

Who/what is weed?

Not too bad a draw for boner, few minor upgrades to the machine but essentially it will be the same as it was when it was fighting last year. Jamie we could always see if there's time for a grudge match at some point or just have it out in the car park old skool style!

Works for me
Weed is a pneumatic flipper, a scaled-down version of Kronic. I used to know where some pics of it were but it's been a while and I forget now

Looks like Tron and Seraph aren't expected to do well!! lets hope they can keep going For those 3 fights, I still want a fight Tron v LS4

Re: 2010 Featherweight UK Championships - 3 Days September

Don't worry Craig, my predictions could be well off, and in most instances I've gone for who I consider to be capable of having the most impact. However history will show that this is often not the case and regularly the unexpected/lower-powered robot wins.
In other cases, I was maybe being a little biased towards my robot/robots I've previously competed with
But although I've put myself as winning my first battle, I honestly don't know how to tackle Seraph - pinning it down is going to be tricky and any front-on assault will just result in me driving right under you!

Looks good Clive, be interesting to see it run. I always get beaten by wooden robots lol how high of the floor does the disc run?

John I'll have to see if I can beat you for the 4th and 5th time in a row

Wheels from Tiny Toon

Ah good, that means I don't have to worry about Tiny Toon moving and attacking me in my 3rd fight then

Alan - I am just waiting to hear back from the campsite - It looks like they are trying to keep the whole campsite clear for us. As soon as I have heard back I will let you all know.

Re: 2010 Featherweight UK Championships - 3 Days September

OK guy's, I will put it out in an e-mail very shortly, but just to confirm we have now reserved the entire campsite for roboteers/dragster competitors.
I need to give them a list of how many tents/caravans are arriving, and how many people per tent etc.

You will then be allowed to book in and pay on arrival. I was unable to get a discount on the web price sadly.
We will be trying to hold a BBQ on the saturday night, and there's a pub over the road for the friday/sunday night aswell .

The schedule for the 3 days has been completed and will be sent in the e-mail shortly.

I hope everyones ready!

Re: 2010 Featherweight UK Championships - 3 Days September

Nope

Good job (and thanks) on reserving the whole campsite for us unruly lot! It's probably for the best as any other campers would probably get royally p****d off by the antics of drunken roboteers. After all.....'Ladies and gentlemen of the drinking circle.....'
Additionally, anyone for a game of Roxanne at some point?

My dad's staying in the Halfway House Country Inn on Friday/Saturday. I'm guessing that's the pub you're talking about? Damn handy for me scadging a lift to the event those mornings, and also if I want a decent shower if the campsite ones are rubbish/cold. No washing my nuts in a mug for me

Only if we play strathclyde university union rules and play with our trousers around our ankles

Re: 2010 Featherweight UK Championships - 3 Days September
