Here are the Fleaweight results.
For some reason it was done in three groups and the final was just a list of fights as they didn't fit into any final chart.
I have used this data to try and fit it to a 4group final as closely as I can so if you see any errors let me know as the data was a bit sketchy.

I have no results for the Nano's so could whoever does either post them or let me have the data.

Hi all, wanted to say thanx for making us feel welcome and listening to my ramblings and answering questions etc. We had a great day with plenty of maccy d's and asda butties so it's all gravy We won best new comer! Well...I did...Jack and Alex just came to keep me company and for the free food lol. Wanted to say an absolutely massive massive thank you to Razer Dave, you're the nicest bloke ever and thank you for the loan of the radio gear. Also thanks to everyone who let me look at their robots, took the time to chat and give advice as and when. It's really appreciated.
As for the robot, it ran great, I lost every fight but had a great time. Learnt that the wedge and spring underneath the back, coupled with the drivetrain was enough to pick up and push other ants. This was really the test so that I can build the drivetrain into the next robot. Struggled with having the mixing all on one stick, usually have fwd/back on the right stick, lft/rght on the left stick so I can drive like my RC cars. Using the trans to mix makes this a struggle so for the next robot I'm going to get either a seperate speedo or do something with a v-tail mixer to split the sticks out. Noticed that a lot of the top pushers have also cottoned on to this. In a general sense was massively impressed and intimidated by the level of competition all at the same time. 3D printed stuff is something else, but then because Beth's robot was hand made it meant she had it back together within ten mins so can see both sets of construction having their place. Thanks again for a great event, will update over the next few weeks as have a heavy to start sorting out for 2015, but going to get on to technobots this week for Wabbajack 2. We already know what we want to build, and Jack and Alex have also decided to build for the next AWS so watch this space lol. Cheers Dave. Some snaps from Sat.

Re: AWS 45 - Coventry - 1st November 2014
You're very welcome Dave . You should have mentioned about driving style, I'd have sorted out a different TX .
Hopefully we will be seeing more of you at events to come .
BTW, anyone anxious to see footage, the stream was recorded on Scott's twitch account and, although it's a bit choppy due to the frame rates it was recorded in, it's still there to watch. I have to wait to see my axe go into Fandabydozy's fan, the frame cut out as I did it!

Re: AWS 45 - Coventry - 1st November 2014
Now I've got a spare minute I would just like to add my thanks to Scott and everyone else who helped out on Saturday. It was a really good event and some excellent fights along the way.
Well done to all the winners, especially Alex for retaining the title and to Dan for not only coming second but winning the fleas as well. Also the fight between Inversion and Hogi was one of the best pushing matches I've had
Also very happy to have won the first Nanoweight event with Reducto and to take part in the Lemmings Cluster with Inertia XT.
Thanks again and I will finally get cracking with plans for AWS 46 in Reading next year...

While I appreciate all the thanks, I really want to redirect a lot of it to Dave, Dave, Gemma, Andy, and everyone else who helped out during the day. I organised the venue and set everything up, but the event wouldn't have ran if it wasn't for those people, so I want to personally thank you.
I want to apologise again for any shortcomings this event may have had because of my double-booking myself and also not being as organised as I have been in the past. There was a lot of things I wanted to do which I simply didn't have time to implement, and a lot of things which could have been done better. I promise the next one will be even better .
Congratulations to all the winners, and thanks for turning up. See you all soon!
