First off, I would like to thank all roboteers that showed up on this event. It was a wonderfull event and we are sure to do it again in 2010.

The shop owner was very entheusiastic and offered us the place as a regular hangout for antweight builders to come together in holland, so next time there might be more Dutch entrants.

Congratulations to Joacim Schwartz for winning both the non-spinner as the spinner competition with Flippt! What a marvelous achievement.

A very big thank you to Tim for him organising this event and building what in my opionion was the best antweight arena I've ever seen. It certainly was the largest.

Also a big thank you to Carlijn for finding the replacement venue in such short notice.

I had a wonderfull time and I hope all enjoyed it as much as I have. I will see you all at the next AWS hopefully.

Yes, a wonderful, friendly environment for a competition. I wish we had such a place to hang out!

See you back there in 2010, I very much hope. Thanks to the organisers and a special thanks to Leo for driving us around.

Just got home, with a late flight and 2 extra hours of travel...

Thank you for an awsome event, easy and pretty organized.

Thanks to Tim for letting me stay at his place, hopefully I wasn't much of a problem!

I'd never thought that I could ever win, not with so many spinners. Luckely Flippt got away with no damge whatsoever. Sort of a shame when you think about it..
But now I got a pretty good reason to go to AWS26!

I would also like to say thanks to Tim for organising a great event and to Leo for picking us up at the airport and taking us back to the hotel. I would also like to say how friendly every one was and how nice it was to meet so many new people. Congratulations to Joacim for an outstanding performance and to Bethany for showing us that Pants when driven properly could be a winner one day.

I heard that

Had a look at the stills and there seems to be a Pants imposter as well....I put Bethany's performance down to the Bling...Pants always goes better with a bit of glamour....

Just in case no one forgets:

mmm.....sparks

Pete Collier, I got some videos from my digital camera that was not recorded on yours, due to one of the batteries were empty. Should I send those and some others, if you ever need a view from an another angle?

Perhaps we should also mention that RazerDave with Stewie came second and Oliver with one of his two tracked robots came third. Great shot of the sparks there by Joacim in case you can't work it out it was Variant against Katjuscha the 2nd.
I can't remember who it was that asked but this is where I get the sticky tyre rubber from:
