Not calling it Rabid anymore?

The NEC staff are useless, our first 2 years got sent round in endless circles trying to find a way to get a loading pass, even got told on several occasions we had to pay!

In short, if you can manage to carry your stuff over from the car park (tool box with wheels or sack barrow helps!) then park in the nearest open car park to the hall we're in and walk it over. You get parking passes as you leave at the end of the day so don't have to pay.

[james...venom]

80% full! Not many places left and lots of teams taking advantage of the 2 days of testing! As soon as the event is full rankings will be announced along with more event details.

I liked Heimdall lol

On my first year i got completly lost, out and inner NEC. I stayed on IBIS Airport/ETAP and walked across the Train station to NEC. Staff on NEC can help or not, depends of who you "found".

I always entered by the "main gate" of hall. But im sure that if anyone get stucked on NEC, we (another competitors) will do our best to help

Can't wait for the draw!

Providing I avoid NST for a few rounds I'm happy with whoever I get.

[plargen]

oh if night fury doesn't qualify can we get as many spinners in the arena as possible to try and kill it because if they can i have a new one planned and if not then it will be back lol

[Eventorizon]

Managed to book the 2 Thursday and Friday off work! Woooo!

I think I should start something to get some friendly competition going...

For each machine you are entering choose the following...

The machine you would least like to face and why.
The machine you would most like to face and why.
The machine that you think would give the best fight and why. (For the audience and video play back and should be able to last more than 90 seconds)

I will go first!


-Conker 3-
Least Like to Face: Little Spinner 4: It made a total mess of Conker 2.
Most like to face: Drumroll - I owe it an ass wooping!
Best fight: Rango - Ellis's relentless driving and robot design similarity.

-Binky-
Least Like to Face: NST - Most likely to be able to cave in the armour.
Most like to face: Cicatrix - It needs more air time!
Best fight: 720 - Should give a great fight with Binky's slopped armour and 720's thick outer edge. Binky will either put 720 OOTA or 720 will peel back Binky's armour like paper.

I'm really looking forward to this can't wait to see who i get in the draw, hopefully it's not one of the massive spinners though

[Revsmin]

Nice idea Alex!
Flow
Least like to face: NST - Horizontal spinner, could make a total mess of the Ti. Close between NST and LS4, but since NST is invertible, it makes it harder to beat.
Most like to face: Kaizer - Also needs some air time XD
Best fight: Defector (you'll see) - Battle of the Überflippers!!

Ricochet
Least like to face: Grant's hammer bot - Magnets to make it hard to push, and that hammer could cave in the top armour!
Most like to face: TS3 - Revenge!!Because
Best fight: Explosion - It was fun and entertaining at Ally Pally!

[harry hills]

Massacre:

Least like to face: Explosion/Beauty because it will be boring loss for me.
Most like to face: Any tall hdpe box robots or vert spinners. Clock some real horrorshow hits on them.
Best fight: Rango? We've designed the robots together, so know them pretty well and are matched. I could maybes pop his drum out, but he have thick armour, tough frame, fast drive and a pretty decent weapon against a slow robot with no armour.

Not bothered by any spinners due to me not being a massive pussy

[james...venom]

with 4 qualifying battles each we are hoping to spread the points out more as last year if you didn't win a couple by knockout you would be pushed to get through. Also with 4 qualifiers thats 8 opponents which means everyone should get a better blend of opponents.

[Ellis]

Or a more blended robot. :P

Will think about mosts and leasts, hmmm...

[razerdave]

-Satanix-
Least Like to Face: NST; most likely to jam my wheels, or cut them, or generally make a mess!
Most like to face: 720; I got caught blindside my him last time, I'd like to have a fight with it without any distractions from other robots
Best fight: Rango or Explosion, both for their relentless drivers
