I'll probably duck-out of voting till next year, as I don't know all of these bots and need to go to more events. But can anyone tell me where to find my membership number anyway?

We should probably have a censored section of the forum, for pictures of roboteers getting freaky with their robots round the back of the venue. Don't want to scare off potential newcomers.

To right Mouldy, was good fun though lol

It's taking me ages to edit down my videos and due to my moderately rubbish internet connection, it would take even longer to upload all 77 videos. Since Jarvis and Kane pretty much have footage covered, I'll just be uploading RogueTwo/Scot-Bots videos, but I've got almost all of the fights so if anyone wants any particular battle uploaded (maybe for an alternative angle) just holler and I'll get on to it.

Might have a wee crack at another montage video though as well. Quite pleased with how last year's one turned out

Sounds good Jamie- maybe another "best hits" clip would be cool.

All these spinners made Clive end up going out the back to take up smoking;

We're back home now, over the next few weeks I'll start getting what we shot uploaded. I hope to make a Tormenta 2 specific video, and a montage for the champs. Plus any complete fights I filmed.

Thanks to everyone who has uploaded videos of battles from this event. Especially microgravity.

Kane those edited vids are awesome, hope you'll be able to construct one with Sundays competition also.

[swanaldo]

not a lot of footage of IC....lol

[Ellis]

Doing video without audio in place is pretty much impossible. I intend to make a montage with the footage we shot.

[PJ-27]

And a best bits/hits video of the whole comp!

If one's made as an event trailer then I'll see about doing the audio post production.
