well, i have just come back to life and would like to thank everybody who attended for their help, for bringing robots, accepting me as their rather laid back host and genrally being awesome throughout the whole event, was great to meet up with some of the new people, bentley, jake, harry and jonny are all nice guys and im sure they will be around for a while

special thanks to pete waller for all his help with pure evil, and helping out with the graphs, is much appreciated, also congratulations to dan for scooping all the prizes! lets hope you have plenty of silver polish...

so all in all i think the event went pretty well, was certainly destructive! sorry for everybody that lost a robot limb or two (or three) and videos/pictures should be up soon either on team orr's youtube channel or on the website

thanks to all
Jack

oh, and despite our best efforts spall decided to keep on working :o

It's Apparently a Dudeweight- 28.3 g limit, and has to fit in a 2" cube i think.
