Re: 2012 FRA UK Featherweight Championships by RoboChallenge

Very interesting draw this time- looks like Inertia will have a tough fight with NST but hopefully I will have the Anti-horizontal setup done properly this time (unlike last years rushed effort)

Lambda seems to have a reasonable draw- no big spinners and a couple of robots that it might be able to damage- as long as Kat can learn to drive it

Aftershock however seems to have a fairly evil draw this year with 3 spinners and 2 of them in the same fight- not sure if the old chassis will stand up to them so it might need a new one.

Really looking forward to this one now as it should be a good competition

Not too happy about being drawn up against the 1st and 3rd seeds, but it's about what I expected.

Atleast we've avoided LS4 this year!

You're on the right tracks Tony :wink:

Re: 2012 FRA UK Featherweight Championships by RoboChallenge

Tony: his old spinner was called Stripper.

Nice also to see the amount of new robots featuring this year, as well as entries from Portugal and Spain.

Wait. Spain, Portugal, Scotland, Wales & of course England.

5 nations melee, anyone?

You're the number 2 seed! Surely you're best for the job.

I would very much be up for a drum-off Jamie.

Ceri, that sounds like a plan to me .
