hey fuckers
Kristy did a vlog thing.
Skip to around 10-15 mins in to see robuts
Rest of it is raging at wacky overpriced foods, dumb security guards who want to refuse disabled peoples from a disabled viewing area's, lotsa damn people who want to block walkways and get huffy when asked to move.

Sorry if i was a lil meh at this event, my buddy Mark being there made it awesome and helped a bunch. He sounds keen to get into it and come to Nats. He fell in love with Miles and Jules and wanted to hook up with Steves girly i think, haha Wanted to smack that commentator in the teeth as he was shitting me royal, the lighting was fairly low and couldnt find shit. my robots sucked blah blah blah
Overall props to people involved in event, seeing peoples after a long layoff was nice even if i was in a bad head space
Props to Miles and Jules for being amazing as always drivings stuff and winnings
Heres hopeing vivid have us back in future
Also heres an idea, get Kristy to officially take pics/judge/help.
Shes been to a bunch of events, takes awesome pics. Knows more about this shit than some of the people being asked to judge.
Im fucking off for a while, got alot of shit to take care of, will get into it after i move hopefully into a place with some garage space where i can build something not crap
Keen for Nats but play it by ear
Take care and if you need me urgent most of you have my details _________________ Andrew Welch, Team Unconventional Robotics

Probably the best event I've been to. The action kept going all night and the crowd was just insane.
Endless thanks to the Super Troopers of the Martin Clan, Steve, Erica, Neil, Ceciel and Anthony. Your dedication could be classified as an obsession/insanity.
Thanks to the Devison Division, not only para trooping in from WA, but providing video work, judging, trophies and foot work.
Thanks to Jake and Cassie for repeatedly cleaning the arena between matches, helping other builders building their bots and for helping with the pack up at the end of the night.
Thanks to Nick for setting up the awesome light show, we probably should have stuck you on the microphone and music too!
Thanks to Glen who let me live in his workshop for many weeks leading up to this event, till stupid hours of the morning, for introducing me to TIG welding (I hate you, I can't use my MIG anymore!) and being a generally good chap.
Thanks to all the builders who spent stupid amounts of time building all kinds of cool bots and putting in the effort to make the event successful. I think sportsmen are the future for the public events!
Going to have a couple of quiet weeks then design my entry for Nationals! _________________ https://www.halfdonethings.com/

Wow what an event thankyou so much to Steve, Erica, Angus for all the work you put into all the organising and the agony that went into this whole event! It was a huge success big congrats to you. I loved the pace and enjoyed the 3-11 pm all in one battle. Lets do more of them.
Also thanks to Vivid for having us.
Thanks to Ashleigh for the fantastic T-shirt design once again x. Neil, Cecilia what can i say for all the work you did beforehand on the arena and carting it down to sydney and food coffee and all the other things you do that we take for granted (we owe you cash) !
Angus for those amazing trophies (i have one!)
Thanks to all who judged and Angus sister sadly cant recall her name, for standing there for 8 hours filming.
All the builders probably the best bunch of liquorice allsorts i have ever known! Sean, Steve, Erica, Adam, Dylan, Aaron, Daniel, Andrew, Ben, Glen, Miles for all the time and effort put into building. Apart from the mighty Citizen Flips my fav goes to brutal Brutas!
Nick for lighting, Nathan for some hilarious commentating ( i liked his sense if humour) Kate for her genius nut and bolt techniques, Jake and Cassie for all their work and support and waiting with me til Miles came at the end and Steve and Erica and you were all so tired x x x
i am looking forward to doing a builders report this has been the biggest learning curve for me and i am buzzing to build a new robot for nats.
