All, in my haste I totally forgot to award the prize for the best dressed team - was so busy giving away freebies into the audience I forgot to give out the team prize.

After much deliberation between myself, Bob and Rick we decided that the prize had to be shared between the Big Nipper team (though I use that word loosly to describe most of the Big Nipper family who attended) - robots were painted and they had matching costumes.... and also the Pillow Torque girls Jenny, Karoline and Tanja who all looked scary enough even to frighten off the most hardened roboteer !.

Will get your prizes to you asap guys - and apologies again for forgetting !

Lol, that Matilda fight looked great - all this talk of entry class featherweights yet all you need to do is simply put an RC toy into the arena to win

Mark you were right, the motor in DB5 that took an axe hit from Little Hitter still works. Was quite surprised really as there isnt much left of the broken magnet.

Shane ( DIZZY TILLY ) started fighting with his matilda toy ... Called Tilly and faught over 40 fights with her and literally took all that the featherweights could throw at her and still kept going and going and going and going ... despite coming out of the arena in pieces on more than 1 occasion ..... now retiered from compeeting due to me finally building him proper featherweights to fight with ... even now in 4 pieces she still works and would still enter the arena just a little gaffa tape and shes ready to run ... so it is possable to fight with toys but alas the novelty soon wears off and you begin to want to win ... so you will soon build a real one to fight with im sure ..... but as to the matilda toy ... THERE WILL ONLY EVER BE ONE TILLY
