More upgrades and work done to Storm II than it's seen in a long time - I'm flying back from Jo'Burg espcially for this one !

Bring it on ! (trademark to Mr D.Gamble acknowledged)

Mute is being stubborn! Rear flipper has stopped working twice now for no apparent reason - but typically it fails open And somehow we've managed to crush the relay on a battle switch - although the relay still works - which is good!

I get the feeling Mute doesn't want to go to Wales... it doesn't bode well...

You don't need the rear one, it doesn't do anything anyway

Thank-you to you all for visiting this fair city. I hope you enjoyed and weren't too hacked off by anything. Well, asides the rain - can't do anything about that.

Major Thanks to Robots Live! for putting up with a lot of inconvenience behind the scenes to put on these fantastic shows. Also for not choosing Cardiff.

Thanks to Kim Davies & Family for turning up. I finally got to see Panic Attack live. YES!

Apologies to Ed for holding up... everything. I try not to, you know.

Get well soon, Clive. Staff were a bit surprised there wasn't greater injuries considering the event.

Commiserations to anyone who couldn't make it. Particularly Mr Weston who missed a win to go to Germany. Murphy's law.

Thanks all.

Nothing too bad, I think. Clive's finger was bleeding - I don't recall the cause.

Wouldn't be the team champs without a finger injury, would it?

Re: Robots Live! - 29th & 30th September 2012 - LC2, Swansea

Thanks all for a great event and to the hard work of Alan and the crew for their tireless efforts in running the event. I'm aware they had more than a few challenges with the venue, but despite that audience numbers looked good and based on the feedback that I got standing at the door people were really impressed and hope that we'll be back again.

Congratulations to Saints and Sinners for winning the competition, it was hard fought with the Mighty Reds coming a close second.

It was great to see Kim there with Panic Attack, I think he was really taken aback at how far things have moved on since he was last running his machine - a testament to everyone involved at the passion, innovation and expertise that lies within the community. In the old days we turned up at Robot Wars, we fought, we lost and we went home. There was no suggestion that you'd get it fixed in 20 mins, re-gassed, recharged and back into the around for a quick mele just for the fun of it. How times change.

Clive's injury was nothing exciting, I believe he dropped his feather Tiny Toon on his finger when loading his van - silly boy. Think he's had a couple of stitches today on his thumb.

I won't be at Maidstone I'm afraid, off to Barcelona with work, however Tim and Meral (and Elissa) will be there with Storm II, and I'll be back to host the UK Champs later this month.

Finally - a quick thanks to Tim for all his efforts with Storm II and managing to keep Storm II running across a weekend, after nursing some nightmare gremlins, it seems that we're starting to see light at the end of the tunnel, and not just the train coming towards us waiting to hit us !

As always many thanks to the robots live crew for all their hard work. I hope the venue's management fears were not realized regarding any damage to the floor.

I didn't expect to be having the crowed chanting Saint, Saint Saint. But the Welsh are a devout lot

I am surprised to be part of the team that actually won a trophy! though I do not expect anyone to believe Saint made much of a difference.

Saint was quite reliable only the link got broken (I will be blaming Thor for this not that I have any proof ) and Seraph worked very well too.

I hope to see all the robots and crews around for next weeks fun, Clive get better soon.

Re: Robots Live! - 29th & 30th September 2012 - LC2, Swansea

We had a good event all in all. Excellent shows put on by robots live. The mighty reds losing by 1 point to a well deserved winning team the saints and sinners. Hope that finger gets better soon clive.
Thanks to the mighty reds we did good.
Great to see me old pals the mute boys.. Gonna have some fun we are.
Was pleased with Air it went well for its first outing.
Has anyone got a vid of the last 8 way mellee.
Was good to see panic attack after all these years.
Behemoth is looking good.
Tilly was running well too... Keep up the work pete.
Thor had issues but he will get it good soon enough.
Mute looking great too.. Still lovin the 360 self righting.
Storm ran well and as soon as thatweapon is done it will be feared once again.(not by me tho)
The teambud nut will return but under a new name available only at robots live events. RR seem to have their own now. Still flattered by using the nut for advertising tho... It must be good
Again well done to robots live. Shows done for roboteers by roboteers.
