I know what you mean by the afternoon with the heat of the sun and only three ants that weren't mine we were running out of steam. Having said that we did have quite a lot of interest at times.

To elaborate for those who weren't there, everyone except the aforementioned were chatting to each other, no robots were fighting, no eye contact with the audience. I should mention that there was a robot scooting around squirting water at the kids, and that I turned up 45 minutes before the end, but it was a great disappointment to us as robot fans.

There was a girl's choir doing Karaoke about 10 metres away that were putting a lot more into it, so we watched them for a bit, did some shopping and went home.

Well at least you noticed the ants there Simon I was just reading Jonno post on the FRA site and as far as he was concerned we didn't even attend.

I thought that two of my ants had failed as the grippers on one and the spinner on a second failed to work. It turned out that it was the 40Mhz transmitter that had been damaged at a previous event when knocked of a table. The plastic on the left stick that gripped the pot was broken and however much you moved the stick the pot never changed. Dave I have emailed you the pictures of your feather from the event so let me know if you got them as sometimes huge emails don't seem to get through.
