Title: Look what I found!
Post by: Conraaa on April 02, 2011, 02:18:02 PM
It's a bit of wood with some autographs on it.
But wait, there's more!
My Dad built a middleweight called Malc 1.5 and then rebuilt it and renamed it as Phoenix. After it did rubbish on Robot Wars we went to an event in Working. Please note this was around RW time so there were many big names there. After a match where Spawn Again flipped Pussycat out of the arena I ran in, "borrowed" a bit of the shrapnel produced (It was a no spinner event in a sports hall so they could get away with making it out of MDF), and got moaned at by Micheal Lambert of Dantomkia fame. I then borrowed a permanent marker off of the Tornado guys and got all the guys there to sign it. Me, being 7 at the time, was bloody chuffed to get Ian Ingliss' autograph, and to hear Ian Lewis say that it was the board was a "smart idea" was pretty good aswell. He was probably slightly bitter as he was there selling signed bits of the robot wars arena.

Oh and we won a match against Steel Sandwich, probably because I was behind the Judges all the time looking over their shoulders.

I've been meaning to scan this for a while and I thought you guys might like to see it.

At first I thought this topic was about you finding the source code. Anyways I can't believe you're dad built Malc 1.5! Tell him I said hi!

Gah, another proper roboteer...

That's pretty good that you've managed to get all the roboteer's autographs. Best I managed to get was a barrel that was used in the Series 3 Pinball trials.
 
I also found your video, but ty4er beat me to it. =D

I'm guessing he's Connor. It was quite impressive seeing your wheel come off, if it's any consolation.

Cool, are you ever going to build a new bot?

As this has turned into a who knows who in Robot Combat, I work for the guy who built HammerTime.

We've got two drill motors and some robo challenge wheels sitting in a empty Heroes tin. I'm sure i'll come up with something. Dad says he's not interested though. But I can tell he is. I also now have a score to settle with guy who runs Boner as he drove Typhoon, so thats some incentive.
Oh and NFX if you think that was impressive see the airtime Phoenix got on the flipper. Looking back on it Phoenix could have won if my dad had some practice driving it. It had 2 EV Warriors in it. But we only had a tiny patio to play around in.

cool
I never met anyone from robot wars, infact I never went, because my parents were to tight to ever go.

Ian Ingliss lives like 5 roads away from me. I saw him at an event once and mentioned that AAT had come second in an annihilator. He rememarked that he'd forgotten all about it.

Probably no use asking him about Miss Struts then? :P

I live in the same town as Behemoth. Or did at least.

Post by: Vertigo on April 02, 2011, 04:41:26 PM
I've met them, spoke to them, drove against them, pushed them down the pit (minimoth), etc

And my friend is having his robot rebuilt by them :D

Yeah well you still have a robot and go to events you have a unfair advantage.

I have, uhhhh, a piece of Millipede's cage spinner signed by Bill Arden, who I'd be surprised if anyone has heard of (he was well known at Mechwars though and also entered Battlebots once with Centipede).  And a piece of a caster wheel from a shopping cart that Tortoise tore apart in a demonstration.


That's cool that Conraaa was in RW... another possible bot to put in DSL3.

I have a shirt signed by Dean Kamen (the guy who founded FIRST, invented the Segway ect...)
