Thanks for running the event Pete, we had a good time as usual.

Now RONNY really *will* get properly rebuilt. To such an extent that it may be "retired" for RRC7, depends how quickly the pattern-making and moulding progress...

Kwijebo is well scary and deserving of "best engineered". I need to fill several ruts carved in the arena too (all Kwijebo I think!)

Sorry we couldn't run double elimination guys, if I get enough time and boredom I'll try to figure it out for non powers of two, but I don't know if my maths is up to it!

8T88 was funny, neevr seen anything quite like it :D

Been looking over the crew, had some weird thing go on with Tink's gears, will get a new set to fix it. Well done to joacim driving it to 4th.

Anticide needs something doing, hasn't done anything since AWS14, so a rebuild there, kwijebo is going to be faster, icant will be able to lift again. Anticipation's flipper is already 4 times faster now 8) , had a wire almost cut all the way through. Self rights like rebel.

Sorry Gary and Pete about the arena's :oops: , it was due to weight saving the front slope was not strong enough to hold the disc off the ground. Also the melee with flippt was quite destructive, and taking bolts out for weight saving is not a good idea :lol:

I'm flattered by the reception 8T88 is getting! Plans for 8T89 are now going ahead. I blame you all...

Incidently, you say wait til you see the video, but it depends wot fights are on the video. Its first fight, in the official competition, it just conked out. lol. Didnt move at all (guess who forgot to charge it!). Once charged, it ran, but only in the losers competition afterwards. Is that on the video?
