As always, a massive thank you to all that came to the fist 'big' show of the year. Great to see a good turnout of machines.

Thanks to all the crew and everybody who helped with the arena, its been a busy few weeks but we survived (just!).

Congratulations to all that took home a trophy, Kronic finally won (yippee!) after making the final for the previous 3 years, but breaking down every time Well done to Big Nipper for coming second and making it until the final fight before breaking down! Maelstrom taking 3rd even if it did end the fight with its wheel and flipper not attached to the robot! MeggaMouse got his revenge on Toxic 2 and took the Challenge Nut off him, he was definitely in the pit this time Shane!

Time for a few weeks off for us, we've had a busy few months with building the new arena and doing 3 events on the trot (over the last 16 days we've had; 107 fights in 20 Shows at 3 venues). We'll be at the NEC in a few weeks for the Memorabilia show, next big show is Burgess Hill in April, make sure you've signed up!

Is it me or is the forum a little slow these days.
I was expecting some comments from the teams after a great weekend of robotic carnage, banter, videos or something.

Unfortunately I couldn't make the weekend and am now suffering from some sort of robot fighting cold turkey!!!!!!!!!!

VIDEOS PLEASE

You missed a good weekend Craig. Some great fights, so they tell me, spent to much time head down inside a robot.Trying to get TR2 ready to fight, after having to fight Tiberious and Thor twice with Toon Raider. All I can say is that Jason has got Thor working fairly well now. But its nothing that a sledgehammer an angle grinder some new hardox and a bit of time can't fix. Thanks to Alan and the crew for an enjoyable weekend and congratulations on your win with Kronic.

See you all soon

I don't know Clive you have all the luck! I haven't fought Tibe or Thor for ages, after a while you miss having to hit your robot with a 12Lb sledge hammer! just to get the wheels to turn.

Looking forward to Portsmouth hope Tibe or Thor is there,
