      Thank you, admin.

      It was clear that this had happened - and yes, Ive got it on tape too. The only question was whether it was yet considered appropriate to talk about it or whether forum policy was to hold out hope that the BBC would eventually get around to showing it on terrestrial. I dont think yelling it happened no it didnt yes it did at each other is helping much, agreed? Robot Wars the pantomime - happens to many stars past their prime.

      Anyhoo, sorry WJ. :-) Mind you, Growler looked like he completely left the floor, which Psycho didnt.

        Fluppet, the first war tape is pretty good, its mostly craig atually, even though old Jezza was on the tv version, its Craig on the vid.

        One thing I will say about the vid, is that it should be played at the next FRA meeting, I want to see how many safety reps pass out

        as to the firestorm/psycho thing, no offence, but it was ages ago. I must say, firestorm DID turn psycho over by firing his flipper, but I doubt he could have done it unless psycho was already overbalanced, which appeared to be the case.

        As far as I know, WJ is the only robot to flip Growler and dead metal, not so sure about Cassius chrome, but never seen him go over any other time.

        I was in a prime position during the fight, and must admit to getting a little over excited watching it, but in the end, Growler was out, psycho was immob, cassius has been in and out of the pit, and old reffers was the worse for ware. Gravity holds my personal record for best fight.... so there ;p

          thnx james

          all this good comment is inspiring me to build a Gravity 5 (after budget Gravity 4) in a year or 2... and stuff the biggest ram/valves/buffertanks I can find in there !!!

          oh, and by the way, I think theres a big difference between flipping a robot and topping it over !!!

            First off let me apologize if it was a spoiler, but since Menorn itself have shown it over and over again i would have imagined theyd shown it on TV also. Therefore i saw no reason not to mention it in this discussion.

            However, its apparent they didnt. So im sorry i mentioned it. But denying it is not the answer either.

              Thanks James - and glad weve got the spoiler thing sorted out. :-)

              Looking forward to seeing it, WJ!

                        I think thats the budget Gravity 4 he mentions.

                          yeah it is.
                          just building a robot based on all the parts I still have laying around. small ram (67x320, full pressure) small buffertank ( 2 litres) fire extuinguisher valve, small motors ( 2 x 500 watt) thats it

                              A flipper with a 67*320 ram and a 2 litre buffertank will probably work quite well, as will the two 500W wheelchair motors.

                              But dont spoil it all by using fire extinguisher valves, they have reaction times and terrible flow. Invest in some decent 2/2 solenoid valves and use two inlet holes to your ram. Youll get much better results!
