Milestone day! Today marks 20 YEARS of Team Hell being a competitor (with F.I.N and Baby Hell in AWS 19 in 2006)!

Itā€™s been an amazing experience, things have gone great, things have not gone quite to plan, but Iā€™m still here, still fighting, and will be for many events to come :)

Happy New Year! Wait, itā€™s Jan 18th already? Well itā€™s been a fair while since I updated, so whilst Iā€™m in recovery mod...

Happy New Year! Wait, itā€™s Jan 18th already?

Well itā€™s been a fair while since I updated, so whilst Iā€™m in recovery mode atm, thought Iā€™d share:

Myself and the ORCS chaps finished the season with a great event, but unfortunately missing the Gauntlet due to timing issues, but we did get to give it a test run at the GRoCS Xmas do, where I also managed to win the ā€œHerculesā€ rumble (all robots were the same machine) šŸ™‚.

In between those I also got an impromptu judging task at the Hobbyweights champs at University of Chichester (and Mr Thomas Weatherly got a stern talking to about his link placement šŸ˜‰ ) and have been helping Josh Dunn of Flick! with some wiring, both for his robots and 10 student kits for making their own robots šŸ™‚. Iā€™ll post pics of that when I get some!

2026 started in earnest with Capital Punishment 2 on 3rd of January, but did show up a few faults with the arena that I hope to have addressed by the next event in May.
Talking of arena upgrades, the ORCS/AWS arena is also getting upgraded; new, higher sloped kickplates to keep the fights going, brand new outer screen polycarb and kickboards (old ones were getting a bit scuffed..) and an all new steel floor!

Unfortunately all that business has taken its toll on me, and wore me down to get myself a nasty chest infection that Iā€™m currently working through.

Hopefully all will be well by the time ORCS 11 rolls around, and I hope to see a few friendly faces there šŸ™‚.

Well Saturday was fun! I managed a top 4 finish with Lilith (my semifinal with Joe Bā€™s Grab Crab was intense enough to shred my motor pinion), and also got into the top 4 driving Rammstein as a minibot to Josh Dunnā€™s spring flipper, Flick!
A better outing all round, and a rather unfortunate ending, but sheā€™ll be back :)

All set for Scouse Showdown 4!
