Warm up: Cosmos (Rhys Williams) won (I'm a bit tired and can't recall the other placings, sorry >_<)

FWS: 1st Tesla 2 (Will Thomas)
2nd Little Devil (Dave Weston)
3rd Deflea (Peter Waller)

AWS: 1st A Little Bit Of Fail (Andrew Hibberd)
2nd Quake (Will Thomas)
3rd Antidisestablishmentarianism (Danny Sharples - first event too!)

Thanks so much to everyone who came, especially Dave Lawrie, Andy Smelczerczyk, Will Thomas, and Andy Jackson for helping with the running of the event (along with all others whom I've forgotten - you know who you are!) and Peter for bringing his arenas and soldering Jigsaw back together, and Jamie and Tony for giving me a lift back home on Saturday night. It was a fantastic experience and one I'm still on a high from, despite my robots getting smashed to various degrees - Jigsaw shall most definitely rise again though, I can't bear to leave it broken and it'll be redone for Richmond or Kidderminster.

Thanks to all of you once again ^___^
Joey

P.S.: Craig, I've got your Li-Ion charger adaptor

Thanks
It was really enjoyable today really glad I went
I was shocked that anti.....m did so well
I nearly didn't put it in as I didn't want to wreck it but as it turns out well worth while

Great event, thanks everyone. Particularly enjoyed meeting the new guys, who were all brilliant, but kudos HAS to go to Danny for coming third! Some amazing driving skills.

I have brought home all the results with me. I'll type them up (probably tomorrow) and get them online ASAP.

Congrats to Andy Hibbard for winning and doing so well in general. I know I picked on him a bit but its only cos I'm so impressed. He's pretty unstoppable.

See you all in Bristol :-)

I know you love me really Dave :D

Thanks to Joey, Simon, Pete, Dave and Craig for a great event. The few days I got to prepair for the event really helped. Not building robots on the day makes it a more enjoyable day.

Complexity was a wonder to behold, we need more spinners( and walkers ):D

First event for us and really enjoyed it. A big thanks to Joey and 'the Team' for running the event, and the arena groundsman for keeping the pitch clear of servo internals, bits of plastic screws etc :D .

Congrats of course to all the winners.

Did you manage to get a video of inertia ripping the front off of anti...m?

I think I got all the fights except one with swearing in which I deleted, too many small children watch these videos, and I work in a school etc.
