Hi, I'm on my way up but in standing traffic on the M40 - will I still be able to compete if I'm late? Current eta is 10:45.

Hi, I'm in the exact same situation too unfortunately, it seems to be a big crash, so I have the same question as to whether I can still compete or not?

Cheers to all for the welcome, special cheers to Rory and Alex for helping out with my damaged nanotwo.

Enjoyed that. It was great to see all your robots in action, and to try out a few scraps.

Next time I probably should get ready in time to practice driving a bit. Still a load of fun though and I will definitely try to get to another event later in the year.
My robots:

Third Law (antweight) - push/ram bot
Manticore (antweight) - hammer bot

that Was an absolute blast and I’m quite surprised how well tlactol (or however it spelt)held up considering I think I rammed it into the biggest spinner their

I’d like to thank you guys for helping me set up the receiver next time I’ll have to label which way round they go.
