dont know what the full issues were personally. But fair do's to anyone admitting they may of made a mistake and making a public apology.
hopefully anyone else involved will be able to accept it and we can all move on for the sport. As I wasnt personally involved it maybe easier to say. but lets keep smiling and spread the love

What a great weekend. A massive well done to all of the drivers in Team Barbie,with a special mention to Sean Bell in only his 2nd event with Fortis,absolutely superb in the pinball.Congratulations must also go out to the other 3 teams for making it such a fun 2 days, with the Tilly All Stars making it more than interesting right up to the final Melee.Well done to Captain Jack for winnning the Team Bud.

Vey impressed with Ray's dalek and Ady's K9.

A brilliant social on saturday night with Stellios Thomas and the crew from Easy Jet.

Looking forward to defending our title next year

A survey conducted after the final show also confirmed that Team Barbie also retained tha Peoples Champions title as well so the perfect weekend.

And Swanny you know what I think, don't stop enjoying it mate,its why we do it.

Thanks to robots live for organising another great event, but I must apologise to everyone for my involvement with the arming up of my robot and spoiling the outcome, it was done with no bad intentions as we thought it would give the audience a great show but didn't think about any other teams that wanted to win. I feel very ashamed and hope we haven't ruined it for the future.
Congratulations to team barbie on your win aswell.

Re: 15th & 16th October 2011 - Robots Live - Kidderminster

It was me terry not you mate....Please dont feel ashamed. I was captain it was my responsibilty. It is my selfish attitude that just wanted to have fun. Teambud are thinking about giving the robot scene a rest for a while....we both came away from robots live enjoying the event itself but with a feeling that people just rather us not be there. Perhaps we upset too many people too often. Or perhaps our personalities just dont fit in anymore. We will never change....more so me....so maybee the best thing to do is leave you to it. I really dont know why i am posting on here anyway as 90% of roboteers dont read it.

Would be a shame for you to leave us all, at the end of the day, it's all about having fun, that's why 99% of us took it up in the first place

Hi Shane and Jason
Was I at a different show? :shock:
I had a great time, Lots of interesting fight formats, enjoyed the fight with Thor always do
I expect my robots to get damaged after all it is robot WARS! Cherub bust a weld and some bits got bent inside.
If some were annoyed then I'm sure they have chilled now.
Its team Bud, Saint and Batter almost all the rest are flipping flippers
See you at the next show that's an order

Re: 15th & 16th October 2011 - Robots Live - Kidderminster

Oi Swanny shut up you tart.Just be yourself, and get your new pile of crap built and along to Maidstone.Who else installs as much fun and mischief as Team Bud. :wink:

Re: 15th & 16th October 2011 - Robots Live - Kidderminster

Re: 15th & 16th October 2011 - Robots Live - Kidderminster

Team Batter had a fantastic event, thanks to Alan and all your crew they worked very hard.

Craig you're right flippers everywhere
I also agree with Clive: Swanny get this machine built & show us just what it can do - it's different

Team Bud cannot leave, you've given me more inspiration to make Scorpion even stronger and the only way I can test it is by fighting Thor with a very large nutter firing its axe

Anyway the audience apparently loved The Mighty Reds and the way they cheated, and I'm quite sure if Terry hadn't cheated in the speedway he would have easily beated Beast as Toxic is looking very good at the moment

Re: 15th & 16th October 2011 - Robots Live - Kidderminster

Thanks to all that took part, i think we must have had one of the biggest turn outs for a standard event in a long time. Well done to Team Barbie for taking the trophy, congrats to Team TillyAllstars for pushing them to the last fight. As always a big thanks to the crew (All the Ed's and Daves!), thanks to Ady, Ceri, Terry for their help with the get-out and to Tim for helping out during the shows and Mouldy for tech-checking (and the chocolate!).

Thanks to all the captains and teams for getting behind the format, please let me know if you have any thoughts on the games/format so we can look at it for next year (doesn't have to be on here, you can pop us an email or something). We did this competition for you guys as we know how much you enjoyed it last year, but it still needs tweaking from an audience point of view.

Next show is Whitwick on the 3rd and 4th March, we've got a few smaller ones between and we'll let you know regarding the Snibston event as a few were asking about it. We'll be doing a few tweaks and updates over the winter on the show and arena.

Anybody got a video of the final melee from the Saturday night? As i don't think i'll be putting 12 heavies in the arena again for a long time!
