Gona have to Pull KR2 out of the event sadly, just had a few problems with the front motors, and there buggered from pratting around. So KR2 in bits and 2 duff motors and running out of time so no KR2 this weekend, maybe next time.

Though ill still be there as im working part of the XFM crew. Event looking great, list of bots going should be great fun, would have liked to fight feathers in 1v1 instead of big melees.

Good luck to everyone and see you this weekend.

I have managed to get hold of Two 12v Motors today and fitted them in KR2, and playied around with the electronics to limit the current on the motors, so i shouldnt be pushing them as hard as i normaly do. Though the motors i get off you Ewan wil come in as Spare as im sure ill bugger a motor up, its Kr2s way at an event. LOL!
So Kr2 will arrive at the event 90% built and ready to burn - litually! Ekkk.
Thanks Ewan, and see you tomorrow morning to take you, least we wont be fitting the motors into KR2 at the Services. LOL!!!

Cya all Tomorrow.

Just a quick note to say how much I enjoyed the event.
I thought the arena was excellent and offered an amazingly clear view of the action.
The fights were exciting and sometimes unpredictable. Little Flipper removing all the robots from the arena in the melee was particularly impressive.
Ive uploaded my pictures and videos to the group I setup before:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Robogames_videos/http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Robogames_videos/
The pictures are in the photo gallery and the videos in the files section. I know some people dont like the signup thing you have to go through to access yahoo groups so if someone wants to steal them and put the pics and vids on a proper server that would be cool.

Im going to have to get my robots finished soon so I can join in the fun!
cheers

Yes
The arena gave the audience a clear view of the action. A very enjoyable event with some good fights. A lot of damaged robots (mainly due to little spinner)were repaired very quickly. The audience participation in the proceedings and the heavy demos is definitly a good format. The event got better as the weekend went on and the monday play was very relaxed and enjoyable. Im sure it will go from strength to strength. Well done to Little Hitter for winning the competition and to extreme fighting machines for organising it.

Roll on the next one!!!

Hi Geoff, sorry i couldnt give you a grudge match, sorry if my un grown up drill motors brunt out, we cant all buy astroflight motors or £50,000 jeeps But i think you woul have beaten me anyway as your driving was great. (What was it, flipped out arena, in the pit, stuck on arena wall 3 times?) LOL!!!
Na you will get it one day im sure Geoff. Maybe Pillow Fight v KX ? Hehe.

Event was good, bloody well done to roboteers for trying very hard to be ready on time, even when Little Spinner wasnt helping things. LOL! Na Well Done to Big Nipper team for winning and also keeping the show going with demos and having 3 fab robots. TTMT - Team Too Much Titiaum.

See you all at the next one!
