So no Oilver, Simon, Pete C, only 1 of jacks (which I find hard to beleive), this just going from bad to worse. Would it be better if I cancelled ?

BTW, that point on that map has gone past the venue. I'll post a direction arrow to the venue, it'll be stuck on the postbox most likely

Don't cancel Dave, it'll be alright on the night.

Even when we were down to five teams at RRC, we still had a great time on the day.

There is no need to cancel Dave we have had far less at an AWS before and still had fun. I can remember when the idea of 25 entries was a distant dream. It will leave a bit more time for other things like TAG, flipper frenzy and your Eliminator type event. I have a few spares like flippant which I was going to enter in the non spinner plus not so flippant that Scott can drive and maybe Dominant. At least with all these previous winners dropping out there is a much better chance of some new blood winning which would be good for the event.

Great event guys

Well done to everyone. Anticide became the first antweight to defend the title and has now won 4 AWS's, making it more successful than Odyssey

I'm already looking forward to the next one....

I thought Anticide had only won 3 ? (20, 28 and 29)

Thanks for all your help today guys, especially to Gary and James for their organising the media, and to them and Pete for sorting out the fights.

Yes great event Dave. Congratulations to Andy for the first successful defence of the title and to Dan for coming second. I will get the two double elimination charts typed up ASAP.

Given the number of "aerial shots" James managed to catch, a new rule crossed my mind:

All robots must be fitted with a parachute

All the video seems to have transferred to my PC OK, I will get it to PeteC ASAP, but I expect it will take him a while to unravel it all without the benefit of having been there, and many "new" robots to recognise. I do have a list of which clip is which fight, but please be patient as I expect this video may take a little longer than usual to produce.

BTW, orders and payment to PeteC - I was only the cameraman!

Thanks to Dave for running the event - we're always happy to help as you know.

Anticide doing what Anticide does best...
