Robots Live! Burgess Hill - 27th & 28th April 2013

[Team Invade]

Could you send me a copy as well please.

[blazerbotics]

sent, didn't realise there was 2 pages of sign ups in the database! Kane didnt get one 'cos you didn't sign up :P

[psychostorm]

Probably not supposed to talk about it so I'll keep it brief
£600? Where?

[harry hills]

Have I signed up?

[blazerbotics]

Can't see one Harry

[blazerbotics]

Got yours Harry, just a note to you (and any others), I don't believe there will be an antweight arena there as Dave can't make it, unless you can sort one out amongst yourselves.

[psychostorm]

Just to follow on, I've got Dave's arena. It's up, bring antweights we're very short on them.

Rght, well i may have to do some last minute soldering to get a couple running would anyone have a smallish iron i could borrow?, but have at least one that i can run. Bulletproof little thing, literally.

[tweedermeister]

I have a regular sized iron you could use if you don't manage to find a small one.

[razerdave]

Glad to hear my arena got some use then

[SamO]

I'm not sure if I missed it or something, but who won out of the feathers and the memorial fight?

As always A very big thanks to all the Robots Live team for a great weekend lots of fun and so good to see all the gang there.

The robots had a mixed event

The biggest disappointment was that Cherub didn't get to fight. one of the battery packs failed, we had charged the packs up and put them in the robot, then about an hour latter it just went up. this is the second time with different packs for this robot so I will be changing the technology for this one.

Saint worked for a couple of fights and in the comp fight the Wotty blew BIG TIME when we opened the Wotty up a small mushroom cloud of magic smoke floated out! this did not help the mood first show not over and no hope of a heavy for the rest of the shows.

Tron worked well and with the new battery pack (I forgot I had) fitted it worked a treat.

Seraph was running around hitting everything and still not winning what more can we do?

But the biggest hit was Kettle bot. this seemed to put a smile on everyone's faces (Except Ed Hoppit's)
It was great to see the Young children and older ones, just driving it about. Thanks Shane for your help with driving it at the shows.

And to finish Zack won the memorial fight with Skink (I think that's the spelling, it is a type of lizard!)

A funny old weekend

Ed has no sense of humour .

Not enough for my liking. LOL
Big thanks to everyone who helped me with the antweights. Notably Craig for bringing the arena down & Harry for bailing me out with a huge Lipo @ the last minute.

Eh ??? I thought it was fantastic !! *confused*

Another great weekend from the Robots Live crew, the shows ran really well and it was great to see almost sell-out crowds for the peak shows. I stood by the door as people were walking out, and the crowd were loving the shows and the effort put in by the roboteers.

A huge well-done to all involved
