Debenham Robot Rumble - 2002. This is probably
the biggest annual robot event in the UK outside of Mentorn events.
The event lasted three days but we only stayed for two, for me it
was only my second event and it was great to see robots such as
Razer and Pussycat that I hadn't seen before. We took along Gstring
which after a lot of rushed building had it's 50psi Pneumatic axe
fitted altough not much armour. The axe didn't work as well as it
had in testing the system had probably developed a leek during
transit. But we had some good fights with Gladiator, Micromute and
several other feathers. Gladiator won most of the fights due to
reliability problems with most other feathers. Interfearence was
also a problem for many teams, but it was still enjoyable. There are
videos of many of the heavyweight fights on our team site (This site has since been taken down).
But videos of the event are avaliable on the M2 site.
