Anto vs Anto XP - Anto XP has vastly more power and speed which is the point but control is sum what lacking Anto actually won but XP is by far the better robot, Anto catches XP and pushes XP off the edge

Badger Bot vs Mr Dog - BadgerBot is much faster but unlike XP its controlable speed, Mr Dog isnt slow either and has a smidge more poshing power and a weapon, it was a close fight that went to 2min 44secs but Mr Dog eventually provailed gripping Badgerbot and dragging it to the edge

Final
Anto vs Mr Dog - Anto out muscles Mr Dog and slides him to the edge and out in 12secs

Anto XP vs Badgerbot - Badgerbot dodges XP as it flies over the edge over in less than a blink of an eye >1sec

1st - Anto
2nd - Mr Dog
3rd - Badgerbot
=================
4th - Anto XP

I'm not totally happy with XP the wires are too long for my liking and not convinced it'll roll back over if it got flipped but I'll bring it anyway or I could enter Badgerbot and Nanto as a cluster and enter XP anyway
makes all this seem pointless but i enjoyed myself

Pointless is good. lol. Enter the cluster, go for all 4. I'd love to see XP in action. Mr Dog sounds inpressive too, any pics?

Ha, I couldnt possible be underwhelmed, not with my ants.

Speaking of which guys, I have an extra robot. Its a walker, and its not very good, but I'd like to put it in anyway. It has both fleaweight and antweight modes of combat.
Of course I cant drive it, I have a full team, but if someone wants to add it to theirs I dont mind what happens to it, its made of surplus. Anyway, I'll sign it up and someone else can drive, let me know.

Finally got around to registering...I'll be there with the usual stuff. Only Pants and CF this time though as I've been building stuff for other people and Squashy got badly damaged last time out.

I think Pants is a state of being or feeling.

Cannon Fodder is a name for an easy target.

Lets see how fast PeteC can kick me.
