Having the drivers go into the arena to disable their robots is a good idea. I trust nobody suffered any serious injuries during the event.

I don't think there were any problems apart from the occasional weapon stuck on, which were disabled before exiting the arena.

It was a very safety orientated event. l didn't hear or see any silly/dangerous things.

The only thing l had a problem with, was that the below instructions, given prior to this event, were ignored by some and one in particular.

quote:

---

The pits do have a carpeted floor, and we would naturally prefer that any drilling, filing etc that would be hard to vacuum up be done in the little storage room at the back.

---

I know my desk ended up covered in filings as a lot of people came down there for drilling, and some probably ended up on the floor over the weekend.
We did try to keep such activities in the back room as much as possible, but it was sometimes crowded in there, especially with all the chairs.

Maybe next time it'd be possible to get an old wooden table or a sheet of ply to cover one of the normal tables, so a permanent drilling table could be set up in the back room?

I think people were more worried about trying to drill on a nice tiled floor than they were about drilling on the desk where they could at least prop things up and have the filings caught by the cardboard.

Thanks for organising the evnet guys!, but now its over its time to harrass!

Brett when do we get the go-kart lap times scanned and put up?

and while I am at it is the dvd ready yet??

Sorry for the delay in my event reports and results etc guys.

I'm busy chugging through the backlog of computers that were waiting to be fixed while I took time off to finish our bots and organise the event.. got a few customers who need to be sorted first. I'll try to get some time in tonight or tomorrow to get results/trees and reports typed up.

Thanks once again to the Kero's for their "Instant Video" results. If it wasnt for them, I probably would have been mobbed by now..

Well where to start
This years event was awsome there was a lot of strong competition .I had some problems with my lifter on sproing that i should have looked at but put it down to radio probs ive now realised it was my relays not clicking in with low voltage through the voltage regulator costing me some fights ..
Stewat did a great job with the cheese especialy against IG in that battle as he worked hard keeping up agresion and control with only one side driveing . David did well with vertical limits only to be knocked out because of the exposed power link geting riped out from the drum spinner when he got fliped upsdie down .I wil try and put the link or a switch in side the bot now .
I cant rember most of the fights so am looking foward to seeing all the video clips to recount .
All in all i think every one had a good time .A big thanks to George for letting us stay at his house again and a Special thanks to Brett and Mell for organising the event and spending so much of their own money and time to put on a good show.

I have finaly got all of the videos of the actual comp up ( http://kkeerroo.zippyvideos.com/gallery.z ) plus the Wacky racing and a pits highlights. Still got the lightweights, melee, grudge matchs and testing videos to go.

You've done well. Sheesh! we dont need a DVD now with all your efforts

l think the pits clip deserves 'honours' - it sums the weekend up just perfectly. If you haven't seen it yet - DO IT NOW

Dont worry 'bout the I.G V's Scoops clip l have already told everybody that l let him win anyway

Did Cobra lose any fight other than the final? If not, should Stealth have to beat Cobra twice for a win as was discussed after last RW?
