Awesome event yesterday, thanks to everyone involved. Special nod to David for the loan of a binding wire, that kept me able to compete!

Not sure why I'm posting this because no-one seems to read the events page these days :P

Great event everyone, big congrats to Adam Stanley for regaining the title with Expandabot, beating his dad Dylan in the final, with last AWS's champ Pantherk II coming in a respectable 3rd. Also props to Samuel with Jungle Man for great driving and a hard fought 4th place.

Thank you to everyone who helped with the event (Commentating, judging, tech support), and big up Ben for hosting, and the Ukrainian Assosiation for the awesome hotdogs :)

Next AWS is up on the board, see you there!
