The show

Well this time our trusty never to break down vantec! broke down :(

The fight was going all in our favour. We were in a 4 way melee for the first round and straight from the off I had attacked Top Bot and took his 35kg disk clean off to roars from the crowd :) I guess our vertical spinner is better than a horzontal one then huh!

Sadly Ians front scoop could not stand the pressure and bent up slightly, this prevented us from getting in close to attack the other robots as the disk wouldnt quite touch them! Frustrating to say the least. I did attack the house robots though with quite some success :)

About 1 min from the end of the fight when it looked like we were the clear winners the robot just stopped. DEAD! I was so pissed. later when we checked it was one of the fets in the speed controller that had let go. Oh well you just cant test electronics. So sadly our exit from series 7
