Thanks to Harry for hosting the AWS. It was great fun and pretty happy with my new robot. In an interesting twist it turns out it was on less than half power... One servo had a sheared shaft I hadn't noticed building it.

Yes another great event thanks to Harry.
Despite all my spinners having problems Flippant did surprisingly well and not only did I manage to carry two robots to the pit I even manged to drop them in instead of my usual trick flipping them over the top and back into the arena. :oops:

Usual Reading suspects I think it was Alex first and Rory second but I can't remember the third.
The final was great Rory's spinner had to win twice and in fact won the first and was hitting Alex's machine hard in the corner when he was suddenly flipped over the wall into the pit.
I can't remember the Fleas but I came second in the Nano's to Rory :lol: which sounds quite good until you find out there were only two people with Nano's so we only ran one fight and I lost. :oops:
One thing came out of the event was how good Antlog is.
We used some of my old paper charts and had quite a few problem although in fairness it was partly due to extra entries after the start we went from 4 groups of 10 to 3 of 10 and 1 of 14.
