Great event. Great arena, Fierce competition, with some very spectacular fights and impressive looking damage. The new Lexan walls came in handy straight away in the first day of the competition.

I made it to the semifinals, wich was a first for me. There Hannibal met Kan Opener and unfortunatly Hannibal is now a convertible. So it will need a bit more repair than the usual spit and polish. I had great fun though and Hannibal will be fine.

Bloody hell!!.. What was the disc of that robot at the begining of the clip made of?? That was just a bit too scary the way it came apart!!
The arena looks good though.
Any more pics or vids available of this event?

The disc was made from Aluminium (driven by a Magmotor), they now know not to make a disc from aluminium.

The robot it broke on has titanium armour; we actually didnt have any damage from that impact, only a small scratch .

Its not that clear on the video btw, but the disc flew straight into the polycarb (12mm). Fortunately it left little more than a scratch and a small dent.

And any Brits that wanna show us how its done are more than welcome at a next event!

Aluminium is perfectly fine in most cases as a disc material, but only if its the right grade... that one evidently wasnt

Very nice arena guys! Do you think its up to the biggest spinners?
