Congrats to all the finalists in Robowars 2006 ( just wish it was my robot) . When I had the time I taped most of the fights using a old video camera I have . The sounds a bit low and the picture is only analogue but if you cannot get your fight anyware else - PM me and I'll capture yours and send it to you. Please - I will not capture it unless you really want it . Hopefully this may inspire others who shot camcorder footage to post it and maybe everybody can get footage of their fights

Fantastic guys! well done!

Also big congrats to all the other finalists , Yeah, they`re OK too!

Bugger, Iv`e inspired a monster in Andrew, should I really have let him
take El B last time? Now I will have to face another flipper at home!

Well done Glen, you must`ve had those magic red pants for luck!

Can`t wait for all the gory details.

If I don't have a robot ready for RoboWars 4 at least 3 months before the event, some one hit me with a stick please

Congrats to all who competed! Congrats to Brett/Mel and all those who helped run the event. I don't know anyone who is not insane that pulls $1000 cash out of their pockets and gives it away to a bunch of people hell bent on breaking each other and their toys....

We Salute You!

Thanks heaps to everyone involved in the event (and those not involved but who commented:))!

I ended up having a lot of fun, and my untested robot certainly got a real test!
I had zero reliability problems, but it's lucky I didn't end up having to fight any big spinners

I can't wait to see the videos!

Jeff, I had so much fun last time with El Bravo that I had to fiinsh what I started So, thanks again for that opportunity!

Well done Andrew and Glen and thank you to everyone else for attending and competing.

With so many fast competitive bots these days I am happy the time has finally come at last that I won’t have to lug along lots of extra bots as fillers to do the right thing by Sidetracked by keeping the crowd entertained, although it sounds like Moth Bots did more than their fair share, using their competing bot, something that we vowed never to do again after last year.

Robot combat is alive and well in Australia at last; the progress and improvements made between Robowars 1, 2 and 3 are huge, once having a bot that could run for 3 minutes almost guaranteed you would win a fight, driving skill was unknown, and radio was so bad we resorted to CB ariels.

Now I am not sure what it will take to win; extreme driving skill, perfect radio and total reliability are a good starting point.
With bots like King Cobra Stealth and Cyclonite out there representing the proverbial rock paper scissors the Feather class has gone from a cheap easy entry level class for a non existing heavy weight comp to a really tough comp in its own right.

Special thanks To Brett and Mel for a marvellous event.

My own personal happy thought was Maestro actually working, not for long I admit but I enjoyed every second of it .

Can you please post a list of winners by weight class?

A huge thank's to Brett and Mel and Sidetracked for a most excellent event.

Also a huge thank's to all who competed.

Well TNP and #5 Revived finally redeamed themselves after around 3 years of not being able to win a thing bot Mat and Myself won 2 fights over the weekend THE DROUGHT IS FINALLY OVER.

I had some minor radio prblems and Scoopy made short work of my bar spinner sawing through my weapon motor but I had a great time Thank's again to every one.

And don't worry Andrew and Glen, we'll be up there soon to claim our tital back!!!

im tempted to make an uber post but i dont think my fingers could stand up to such a marathon typing session

first and foremost thanks to brett, mel and the sidetracked team (there names evade me) for hosting the event, easily the best event ive ever attended and i cant think of one moment through out the whole weekend where i wasnt having fun. everything went great and ill be there for the next one without a doubt

and also to all the competitors. it was great to see everyone have there robots ready on time and the standard and quality of the robots has gone through the roof. im dying to see the fights now

I am just transfering the fights from my viseo to my computer now but I have no where to host them. That putfile thing doesn't seem to work so does anyone have any suggestions? They files average around 12mb each and they should all be done by the end of tomorrow.
