Nope, the Supernova teeth kept to the disk in that fight, but did have a serious di«t.
Nice steelblue discolered and shortened teeth.

Nope, we Belgian/Dutch didnt see any money. And I prefer it that way.(now that is officiialy, Im not averse to some cold hard cah) As money seems to distract form the fun,and attracts the wrong kind of atmosphere.

No John we aint got our £50 appearance money yet...I dont think anyone has!!

re the £20,000 prize money...how is this made up..I thought the series winner got £5,000 and runner up £1,000 ...are they counting all the £50 appearance fees as prize money?

Anyway great show ...well done Paul...BRILLIANT performance.

I thought the format/presentation was good...cant wait to see us in show 14 (heat N if I have counted right)

Mechaniac did prove that hardox/Creusabro makes good armour.

Because it was a very expensive test

using of welded threaded tubes seems not to be a good way to fix armour against spinners.but our main problem was, all functions of our remote had inverted in the bullpit, don´t ask why....

But we had great fun and get a lot of experience.

our new robot is under construction. new and better armour (much stronger than hardox/creusabro), 2 perms, loads of pneumatic stuff and a brandnew roboteq are waiting in the workshop. no screws on the surface, only welding seams.....beware!

Excellent first heat, Didnt see much of what should have been the first heat though but I guess that this was more enternaining to watch and well done paul. During the Tiberious vs M2 fight when I saw Tiberious go through M2 and get stuck I was wondering if they could let go but having seen the clips at the start of the show I knew that they would. The only thing I seem to remember is that you cannot hold a robot for more than 30 seconds and even when Tiberious had a chance to let go they held him longer but this could have been part of the editing they seem to do alot.

Should I mention how quickly the discs were disposed off and flippers ruled.

we were there when the final was filmed, tiberious held on for nearly the whole fight, and at no point (until near the end) did they bring the claw far enough out. M2 did say something about this in the interview at the end, but was cut out. When tiberious went through the armour it missed everything, bar the tyre. Had he of gone through anywhere else the result might not of been the same! But well done paul, about time the public stopped saying who? at live events!
great first show, got abit annoying when they repeated everything when they came back from the adverts!

RW with ads and you are too brain-dead to remember what happened repeats is better than no RW at all!

With luck we will have a better aerial setup by next Sunday, at the moment our TiVo, large TV and VCR cant cope with the faded Five signal we get. Only the 14 portable can manage for some weird reason. Otherwise wed have started watching late and fast-forwarded through the ads and repeats.

I seriously wonder if advertisers get their moneys worth in these days of recording and fast-forwarding.

Hi all. Just got my account working. Yep, a great start to the series. M2s performance was superb. Lets hope the punters like RW7 as much as the Roboteers seem to!

The £20,000 was very misleading and probably reinforces Joe Publics opinion that we make money out of this! I wonder when those little cheques will arrive?

Ive got to say that fives RW7 trailers were about the most naff idea that anyone could have come up with. Everyone Ive spoken to who has seen them thought they were really awful. What a missed opportunity to get the show up to speed.

I personally think its somewhat out of order that on the one hand Mentorn are making a huge feature out of the £20,000 prize fund in the show, yet there isnt a single competitor who has recieved their £50 appearance fee.

Its a bloody con is what it is!
Ill bet there are more than a few people seriously considering building for next year under the misconception that itll be financially worth their time...

Anyone thought to speak to RW production and put it forward that the community arent particularly impressed with this blatant bit of misinformation?
