Very rude, I thought!
Hasn`t shows up in years,
Stroles in and just cleans up!
It did get majorly trashed by the end.
I`m waiting to see the video of Hammerhead vs Visceral to decide whether or not to develope this bot.

Awesome event with many new and improved bots - Lindsay won it with Stealth, even though it was hardly driving by that stage. Orbit came second and I believe Jolt came third and won the melee. Stand-outs were Orbit and Snak Masheen going head to head and proving the mutually assured destruction is a bad but very entertaining policy. Jolt had a few good moments in the melee and got some revenge on Stealth for being flipped. The main standout was all the new talent -Jason brought Razorback, a solid brick, Jeff J had Hammerhead with a huge mallet that almost finished off Visceral and Megan (Angus's sister) drove and wedged her way around far more seasoned drivers and was very handy with repairs. It might be out of place to say this, but she will also be an absolute heart-breaker in a few years time. Wheelie Good Bot didn't quite make it into the arena, but is well constructed and shows promise.

Go for it Jeff, that was a very entertaining battle and Visceral only won by a tiny margin. If your hammer had not come adrift, you would have won. Perhaps a bit more traction is all I would try for. _________________ Australian 2015 Featherweight champion

What RFC website? Or is that a club secret?
Strange that the first results are given by a QLDer even after several NSWers were seen lurking and posting in other threads.
And the question asked after every event: Where are the VIDEOS?!? Us interstaters want to know what is going on. But I suppose we can expect the usual collection of tidbit clips and no real info on what happened. _________________ Get Some!!!

Hi Grassy, you need to get a membership - Jake will activate it and you can log in.
@ kkeerroo: yes we are launching a website as part of our incorporated club, its a good promotial tool. It is very much in development still. Eventually, I hope it will become both promotional and a builder's resource.
We took a heap of video and I hope someone has the time to upload it; some of the fights were very watchable. Some day I hope to replace my stolen camera and post video myself. _________________ Australian 2015 Featherweight champion

indeed the fights where good, some pretty fast but quality from the newer builders was very impressive
cant recall from the top of my head as to what the fight order was, hence why its good to message me as per aaron as my memory just wipes itself as soon as i get home from an event :p
