Gone for Eruption, Toxic 2 and Maelstrom. Still going for my favourite in Eruption. But Toxic 2 was formidable in the European Championships and Maelstrom could suprise us.

IMO, IA7 isnt as good as IA5 or 6, design wise. The full force of the flipper cant be applied, as when the flipper is fired with another bot on it, IA7 tips onto its front slightly.

He won the "Series 8" as opposed to the UK Championships. I think.
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

The old RW arena was sold for scrap years ago.
Building a Replica isn't impossibility either.

There isn't really an incentive to do so for its current use. The arena was a bit excessively big (to look good on TV) and the current arena takes hours to put up and down as it is.


You know, when you actually think about it.. it really was, length ways at least... the pit release is a long way from where you start..


Good Luck today Vertigo!
