Thanks to everyone, in particular Craig, Gary and James, for a really enjoyable first AWS for me. I thought the double arena was a great idea to speed everything up and it couldn't have been run any smoother. It was really great to meet everyone that I have read so much about on here and have such a warm welcome.

I look forward to seeing everyone at AWS37!

Thanks also to Danny for the cheap polycarb, bargain! :)

Thanks for such a great event! I am ecstatic to have gotten Stanley to 3rd as well as collecting some awards and other trophies along the way.

However both robots have sustained alot of damage from wrecked wheels and wobbly motors to accelerant having its chassis chewed up (Thanks Inertia 3! :D ). Stanley nearly died in the annihilator too with a chunk missing from a spinner hit exposing the lipo. :o

Shame on you all!
A Napalm entered a competition & left in one piece. *Tuts*

Thanks to the commander in chief Craig & his unwittingly volunteered staff. God, Craig knows how to project. :o

Congratulations to Andy & Joey.

Personal thanks to Dave Weston for basically building the ant (you know the bits that worked - the battery that fell out was mine :lol: )To be frank, I don't think he gets thanks enough, usually.

Also Reading Will? Seriously? If someone asks me where I'm from, I'll be dead by the time I get to the N. :lol:

No, I'm expecting a lynch mob about Swanseacity beating Reading to get premier league promotion.

Ahhh, I'm not sure how many roboteers are also into football. Also, there are a lot of Welsh people in Reading, not sure if they're from Swansea, but there are strong links nevertheless - also don't they make Doctor Who there? It can only be a good thing.
