I've signed up Lionel and Chocolate bot for some of the new guys from the Reading Robot Wars Group to try it out. I've got separate remotes for them.

We will be signing up soon, don't worry! By the way, would a cluster count as one robot in a football team as it does in the main competition? Thanks!

yes, a clusterbot would count as one team member in robot football. in fact if you are entering one into the football that would give us some variety which would be good.

Sorry I can't quite get to this one, it's a bit to far for me this time. Planning to be at the event in Nuneaton in January if they will have me. Wabbajack 2 is taking shape slowly as money comes in.

All signed up but one of our clusters has had to pull out unfortunately due to all sorts of ridiculous issues! Anyway, see you all tomorrow!

By the way, my Dad is signed up under the name Team Antivate just so you know.

Thanks!

Thanks Dan and family for running a nice relaxed event. It good to get a chance to chat to people like we used to be able to at the AWS years ago!

Ouchie has now decided to retire from competition following the traumatic severing of his battery link/tail by one of those nasty spinners! :o Never fear! A replacement duck will be built! 8)

My driving was well below its usual dreadful standard - I don't think I spent more than about 10 seconds in the arena in total! Thankfully did a bit better in the tag team, despite accidentally scuppering Ouchie in one fight :(
