A bit late but again thanks to all the organisers already mentioned and one who seem to be left out Simon who not only arranged the venue was still vacuuming up when I left.
A great event with again the record for ants I think it was 66 but due to a combination of good organisation and much more reliable robots it ran very smoothly.
All in all a great day and nice to see a spinner winning both ants and fleas even if neither was one of mine.

Thanks to everyone for the praise. I really enjoyed running it. Congrats to Will for winning the ants and Dave for winning the first official FWS. We realised on the way home that out of the top 3 fleas and the top 3 ants only one didn't have a spinner! That's something to note I think.
Thanks to Gary, James and Simon for helping me out with the organisation too. It's becoming more than a one man job to keep control of over 60 participants.
These events wouldn't be half as much fun if everyone wasn't so pleasant, easy going and up for a laugh as you all are. I think we all deserve pats on the back for enjoying this amazing hobby in such a friendly and respectful manner.
Long may we continue.

Thanks for those Oliver, got a few good ones

Now that I can read the results, can't beleive Stewie didn't even make it out of the group, and that my Drive-all-day robot came 5th overall

My favorite fight on the day was the rumble between Meat 5 and Stewie. It's always good to be part of a great fight like that, even if I did end up losing.
