Oh em geee, its duff!

Be really nice to see a few familiar faces again. AWS 23 was my last competing AWS and its been over a year since any Robot Combat.

Think for me it was my first ever robotic combat match back in aws4. Lucky there are only a few peeps still involved who where around during that time but I was royaly s**ting a brick. When I put my robot into the arena. My hand was shaking so much when I put my feeble attempts of a robot into the a...
