I'm no longer available for this event. The robots aren't ready anyway, so I'm just going to concentrate on getting them to the UK champs. My friends are having a get together so I'm going to that instead. Guess it'll save me having to slave away in the garage during this freezing cold weather!

All ready for the event now, after an incident where I got to Preston on the train before realising I'd left my robots in Lancaster XD

Looking forward to seeing everyone there, have fun :)

Just setting off.
Sadly Morgrugyn had a motor fail so I've had to put some new ones in - bad news is it looks like they are 150:1 - boy is it SLOW :(
Needs to get some sensible ones asap.

Back at university after this - I had a wonderful time, it was lots of fun and hopefully quite a few people got interested as a result :) It was good to see some new faces too. Thanks to Dave for providing the arena and RR for putting it on, and everyone for making it a good show ^^

Had a great time yesterday- fantastic to touch base with the 'chaps' again. Many thanks to everyone there. Shame about Morgrugyns motors - would have gone marginally faster if it was glued to the arena floor!

Note to self - must get some sensible motors immediately!
