Re: Robo Challenge - 2013 FRA UK Featherweight Championships

6wd, 2kg spinner with a mag? So 540 with a magmotor......I look forward to seeing that one

Cheers PJ, a fair few I didn't recognise on the list as I wasn't at last years champs.

Incidentally, I'll be bringing 540 for whiteboards and funsies. Means that boner doesn't have to fight outside the main competition

*unnamed* is actually our machine as well! We have decided to call it Grabbererer, so that an be changed as well as Tormenta spelled correctly.

Any chance of the pit working this year?

Re: Robo Challenge - 2013 FRA UK Featherweight Championships

@PJ

Its my entry that I paid for but something got lost in ciberspace and the form didnt get through

Mine is a (hopefully) 6wd vertical spinner with a 2kg disk and a A28-400 Magmotor behind it :twisted:

Spinner number 19 is here

Re: Robo Challenge - 2013 FRA UK Featherweight Championships

I only count 15 spinners? Unless some of the ones I don't recognise are spinners.

What's *Unamed* Matt's entry?

Who are the reserves James?

[james...venom]

Re: Robo Challenge - 2013 FRA UK Featherweight Championships

Lh2, Venom and B3 have not entered this years champs otherwise they would be seeded. Robots below bump up.

There are 45 entries, plus we need to make room for Matts entry.

Hot Picks are not nessasarily winners, they are exciting bots to watch out for. May need to add No Toy to that if its a new axe machine

Vortex is a great machine and could certainly go all the way if it can take on the likes of Nst and Ls4

Re: Robo Challenge - 2013 FRA UK Featherweight Championships

Binky - Alex's other spinner, goes on about how powerful it'll be. In the words of Craig Charles, let's see if he's all mouth and no trousers.

I think I have managed to hype myself up over it... though it has all the ingredients of being really quite dangerous. But knowing what happened last time it will probably go up in smoke and become a really expensive door stop in under a minute; cos that is how long Conker lasted last time.

And oh bugger... Vortex is Storm Vortex.... not good...

Re: Robo Challenge - 2013 FRA UK Featherweight Championships

Yes it is. Hopefully he doesn't drop out this time (UK champs last year and a demo event in Belgium he signed up for).

[Eventorizon]

Re: Robo Challenge - 2013 FRA UK Featherweight Championships

I am wondering who Vortex is. It it storm vortex by the storm 2 team, cos that would be worrying.

Re: Robo Challenge - 2013 FRA UK Featherweight Championships

I didn't see rip-off in the seed list, sorry Jamie.

PJ: Rabid is now a brushless operated vertical claw, was a vert spinner before :P

[PJ-27]

Re: Robo Challenge - 2013 FRA UK Featherweight Championships

Last year a few reserves had to be called up so would be good to know who they are!

I'd feel bad fighting Predator, all that effort!

Re: Robo Challenge - 2013 FRA UK Featherweight Championships

Which one's that Dave?
I was confused as to why Drumroll was 6th when I finished 8th but LH isn't in there and Beauty 3/Rip has been sold on. Venom was top ten as well I think, but James has Predator this year (would love to draw that!)

PJ, I'm pretty sure TS2 and Trouble Starter 2 are the same. In the list James posted, there are 48 robots, but there are three robots listed in both the top 10 and the other entries (mine, TS2 and RipOff). Take those three out and that leaves 45.
