What a great day. Nice to have a grudge match against our old nemesis mighty mouse Thanks to Trev and the team for being such great sports. All weve gotta do now is find a way of self righting properly without the gymnastics!

Great couple of days. Well done to Bulldog Breed for winning the Heavyweight and Ploughbot for the feathers.

We also hit the roof, complements of Kronic and got repair work on 2 feathers thanks to Ed (note to self: Dont ask Ed to turn it over when its stuck). One of these days John we will not stop when that Axe of THz hits us (how many times?) and give you a better match.

Great event on the whole, and tickets did well in the end, after a worrying week last week.

A couple of entertaining moments....

the new improved arena flipper. stiff breeze from the flipper into the pit !!!!
Do i put the buffer tank on it now ???


The safety net stopping mighty mouse from ending up sat on someones lap !!!!

We broke both records for arena build (4 and half hours), and leaving the venue after ( 2 hours 20 minutes )

Thanks to all for coming.

Just one question... did anyone borrow our small silver 4 wheeled trolly, we came to use it when loading the truck, and it had disapeared, and we use it for all of our steel work.

Mark Great couple of days. Well done to Bulldog Breed for winning the Heavyweight and Ploughbot for the feathers.

No Rampage won the feathers - i know the teams are close friends and use the same type of weapon, but i thought rampage being black and Ploughbot being bright orange might have helped. Maybe its your age. LOL!!!

Jonno - BUFFER TANK, BUFFER TANK, BUFFER TANK!!!
Try and get the heavies to fly into the pit now is our next aim

Great event, loved the pizza sat night, everyone was great, show went very well, Ange and Gary did a good job with the crowd, fights were great, and the pit only broke once for one fight, aint bad.

Well done guys,
Great event, plus exellent food too!! Pity about the problems with Scorpion Jrs weapon drive ..But at least we found the weakness before the World Champs.
Sorry to Alan and Co. I hope G3 is repairable! (it worked that time! )
Jonno, two points..
1)Buffer tank with feathers...NO WAY! My pilots licence doesnt cover 12 Kg robots
2) Keep that bloody Hoppit bloke and that overweight lump of titainum of his out of the arena, we took more damage off him trying to be helpful than we have in ALL our featherweight fights to date! :wink:

Geoff, John & Sarah.

P.S. No, we didnt pinch your trolly!

Just Got Home

Stu maybe the coloured glow-sticks taped on Rampage created an yellowey/orangey glow and confused Mark. Ill have to put the name back on.

Well Done jonno and crew excellent pizzas

Bristol to Ely in 24hrs - did you go by train? Not even my Mum can drive that slow

Dont know what I was thinking. Sorry I knew it was Rampage :sad: just cant think clearly in the morning. Of course he won, he had some good motors in there .

Looks like that last melee smashed the magnets in the weapon motor and did the speed controller at the same time so a bit more repair work than first thought.

Yep, that was a good show all round. Terrorhurtz impressed in particular, and once again the feathers put on some great fights.

Ill be at Newcastle for at least some of the time, if the event goes ahead. (as there arent many teams signed up atm)
