Nooo Jim! :(

To anyone staying over; I know it's a bit late, but would you be able to say what time you're getting here?

We are here. Yeovil needs more footpaths! Walk of death from the train station.

Just had a quick count up and it looks like around 60 Ants if you take off Jim. :(
Thats a much more managable number so we might have more time for Fleas and Nanos. :P
Arena is loaded and ready to go.

Its less than that Peter as a few others on the list have pulled out too. Without Jim (sad face!) the count is 57. So should have time for some fun too.

We've been put in Room 101 in our hotel, so we may not make it out alive either!

Yeah, really sorry mes amies, the heat has knocked me for 6. It has really really ruined a fantastic weekend. Robots tomorrow , and tickets to the Grand prix on Sunday. And I will be stuck indoors all weekend now. Hope it goes brilliantly, look forward to seeing the footage.

Ah, yeah the heat almost took me out on Wednesday driving for 2 hours with no AC in 40C heat :S

Yeah that's fine Lincoln :)

And as Pete says, although it's a shame the numbers are quite low, it should at least mean plenty of time for other activities afterwards. :)

Entropy will not be competing; it would appear that the hit that I took in the spinner annihilator not only disconnected my wires to my weapon motor, but actually pulled on the wires in such a way that they snapped at the motor end. TBH, as much as I loved the design, it was a real pain and has caused me no end of annoyance, so I'm not that bothered. There will be more Entropy in the future though, just better designed and more reliable :).

yep... laws of physics 'n' all that! :)

"Designed" entropy - isn't that an oxymoron? ;)
