Nick is out!? Damn... I was looking foward to that...
Rapture's been sorted, looks kinda nasty now though with all the raw welds...
Weapon is running pretty crap now, I think the bushing's taken a huge pounding, or the frame is screwed. Either way i'll be there to explode or destroy! Either way, it'll be entertaining...

That's why we went to the harder urithane, the one we have now is the softest they go in room temp cure without plasticisers.

LOL well here's the run down:
Misfortune came first after a non final against rapture (everyone was tired, it was late... i wanted to enter the rumble instead so gave him the win ).
Rapture has caused repairs needed on itself, as well as Caber and cobra and misfortune to various extents. The arena's a little damaged now too...
But yes, well done Dylon! It's a fine little drum bot and one to look out for, i sent it flying across the arena with hardly any damage... probably because its all 7mm steel and what not...

Obviously, it was implied due to the fact my weapon was totaly wrecked and lasted 20seconds in the rumble before exploding
It'll be different next event... just like yours better be underweight!

Does anyone have the full results?

yes now that you mention it ;->
http://www.vapourforge.com/robowars/2008/marryong/round%201/results/round1.html

videos and all (albiet phone ones)

end result was
1st Misfortune
2nd Rapture
3rd Plan-G
4th Cobra

mad props to scorpion by the way, best controller we have used so far. Didn't even blow up once even after we froze a gearbox and burnt a motor out on it (was a minute or two's worth of driving on the stalled motor too)

awesome event for 5 robots

heaps of massive hits from rapture plan g and misfortune. and cobra vs rapture has been one of my favourite fights in ages.

and indeed scorpion FTW. it really didnt even get that hot at all in any of the fights. not to mention it didnt seem to failsafe at all with an FM radio which is quite impressive.

Little wedge did alright though all things considered. batterys and drive where fine, just had some electronic problems relating to the IMX1 mixer decided to progressively die through out the day (i think those random shut downs where because of it) and it totally died at the end of the rapture fight. its getting quite bad when the hits are so huge the commercial electronics cant hack it

Misfortune is also a tops little robot. when he can get it driving and pull it back down underweight (mr 14.5kg ) itll be a ripper
