Maybe we should keep you broke to stop you building that MoFo.

Actually Karen is the best. She is very good with money. I am a very lucky man. I just like living dangerously.

All ready to go did a bit of testing between the cheese and sproing as well .
I had a few probs with my grab arm on Sproing self destructing on the return as its so fast but hopefuly a rubber buffer and a limit switch have fixed it every thing is packed in the car ready to head off in the morning so we will see everyone when we get there .. cheers .

1st - Vertical Limits
2nd - Cheeze Shredder
3rd - Scarifier
4th - Sproing (had a broken drive so would have lost if we had a fight for 3rd)

Melee 1 (7 robots) - Scarifier
Melee 2 (5 robots) - Scarifier

Interesting things that I could remember:

Marauder flipping itself upside down, then trying self-right by throwing itself into the veiwing screen at head height.

Prancing Queen always being picked on. It never lasted more then 10 seconds in any fight or melee.

The sound of RP7's drum. That thing it awsome.

Scarifier owning Hercules for 3 mins with only one drive belt attached. I must have thrown the other belt before the fight and not realised.

Hellbringer X's pushing power. We have a new champion pushy bot.

That whole first melee. Prancing Queen pretty much exploded when Marauder flipped it. The battery hit the roof. There were robot flying every where. We need this fight on the internet as soon as possible Marto.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Woot. Kick ass event! My highlights were watching Marauder flip PQ, then RP7, then selfrighting itself by launching across the full length of the arena, then trying to selfright against the wall resulting in a face height (This all happened in the one meele)!

I was driving cheese shredder today and it kicked ass beside my first jitter battle with my TX battery being low(Still won ). Vertical Limit only slowed it down in the final when it hit the side, flip over and hit the drive wheel in the process snapping the gearbox shaft off inside the gearbox, turning the left wheel into a jumbo castor Damn Scott is becoming a good driver, I have to watch myself!

Robot to watch: Marauder! When that thing drives properly, there will be feathers flying (More then there is now)

I've update all the ranking table except the teams tables. Looks like I can't retire Scarifier just yet.

mmm first event was a bit of a flop for Sproing. We tested on saturday against the cheese prety hard and i had been testing all week every thing was fine last night but once i put it in the arena the lifter started acting wierd then stopped.
I coundn't find the prob its probaly a relay sticking ,,so it never got to show its full potential ..my armour worked better than i thought it kept vert limits at bay Scott managed to break a couple of springs off but that was at the welds so i will need to retemper them next time after i weld them i ran out of time before the event .
My wheel gaurds need a bit more attention to stop them shifting into the wheels as one got jambed and david just kept pushing the robot until he burnt out the motor .I havent checked the bot to see if he has damaged the ibc or any thing else .

I hope every one had as good a day as we did .
A big thanks goes to Nick and his wife our host's .. they once again had a great set up and looked after us all .

The arean was much better with the shades on the doors and stuff so that the glare was barely visible on the lexan this time .It made it easier for the drivers and spectarors to see what was happening .

It was a hard day with our bots being mostly drawn aginst our selves and all our drivers wanting to win lol ...just more work for me again

A big thanks to all the other drivers and people who attended and made it a succesfull event .
