Andy was not even there so it wasn't him. I am not sure who upset Marco but I think it was Canopener's driver that Simon was refering to.

Kan-opener is Andy's robot. In any case, my point is that it is NOT something that normaly happens at robot events of any weight class.

Everyone else was fine, in fact, Stu let me have a drive of his robot, which was great, and I chatted to a few of the others as well no problem.

Perhaps this guy was having a bad day (I'd happily name him, but I don't know his name, he's old with short grey hair and glasses) when this guy unplugged our power without telling us because "it was causing the circuit breakers to trip" and he would plug us back in "soon" but couldn't tell me when, some other robototeers let me plug into their socket, (and I'm not even sure it was the psycho's socket anyway) and we could get back to business. Needless to say, we didn't trip any circuits at all.

So as I say, a psycho, but everyone else was fine, and we still had a good day.

Simon

Bit of a senior moment there I read the post saying Andy Cane and in my mind I was thinking of Kane of the Behemoth team.

It really didnt bother me that much. Its just not the nicest thing to say to completly new competitors as they are just starting.

I'd like to point out to all doubters that the heavy survived its fight fine, working and intact (hooray!)...only to be killed off by the torrent of rain getting to the relays (doh!). Roll on Wales and the indoor arena! We don't give up that easily...a new build diary is in order I think Marco?

Who did you fight?

we fought ewe 2
we did fine till our front casters got stuck on the arena floor in the corner. Ewe tried to free us but in the process got stuck as well.
We lasted for 2 minutes

Ewe 2 is a nice flipper. It has been around the block quite a few times and felt the power of TerrorHz a lot of times as well. Ewe 2 and Splinter were for a while the only ones stup... brave enough to enter the arena with THz.

All I can say is, be glad antweights are not part of the FRA right now. I've had it up to here with them.
