Thor

Gravity!

[teamstorm]

Gravity vs Eruption has got to be worth seeing !

[Jeroenl]

Lets pull a Gravity vs Dantomkia on that one :P

[botmad]

The New Tilly Ew3 .... Tooo !!!!!!! Eruption and Gravity

[teamstorm]

There's going to be some air-miles earn't in that fight one way or the other !

Can't wait !!! Even with a great robot like Thor pulling out, it just turns the Heat into something equally amazing.

What is Faux? And is TMHWK2013 any different from last year's Tomohawk?

[maddox10]

TMHWK is getting some changes, like less leaks in the ram, a smaller buffertank, other batteries and easier acces to the parts inside.

will come down and meet some more people and catch up with others, will it be ok to pay one entrance fee for charity and then resides in the pits.

[teamstorm]

I'm sure we can arrange that - head to www.robotslive.co.uk to buy your ticket and then PM me the confirmation email and I'll add you onto the list for pit-passes.

Merlin has pulled out of Heat A leaving Robots Live with just Kronic as their robot in the competition. This means that 'Alien Destructor' from The Netherlands now moves into Heat A alongside Big Nipper and Faux. First round fight and our number one seed is taking on a robot they've never had to fight before..... the line-up just keeps getting better !

[Marien]

They may have met in Genk, in 2005 (?).

Genk

They may have met in Genk, in 2005 (?).

Yes, we remember Genk very well and the good battles we had there. I remember Alien Destructor getting impaled in the side of the arena for quite some time and people trying to find a crow bar to get it out. Is Alien Destructor still using pneumatic tyres, as we still have two of the old ones that he gave us that we shredded at Genk? I remember a youth hostel that we stayed in at night where people had strange eating habits. I will never forget people with ham and cheese sandwiches and putting chocolate hundreds and thousands on them, and a local Chinese takeaway that seemed to put broccoli in everything.

Also if you didn't get the first two showers in the morning, the water was cold after that!

[Marien]

Yes, AD is still on pneus. And the chocolate (hagelslag) is still on all kinds of sandwiches :-) It's one of my favorites, anyway.
