2008 Live Events

Here are some of the live events that Team Shock have competed in this year.

Robots Live! Whitick- 2nd&3rd Feb 2008

Our first event of the year.

We only went on the saturday but we have a couple of really good fights. Whirlpool had a great fight where it wa almost thrown out the arena about 6 times before Beauty got it out in the last few seconds.

Aftershock also had a fight where it had some control problems but survived.

Roaming Robots- Barnsley- 17th Feb

A great event and we almost won both competitions. Whirlpool was winning its fight until a driver error meant that it drove in the pit. Shockwave was also winning its fight until the arena flipper threw it across the arena and the link came out. Aftershock also had a couple of very good fights

Robot Rumble- Colchester- 22nd&23rd March

We returned to Colchester for the Robot Rumble and we were hoping to do better than last year and come first. However Whirlpool ended its fight in the pit (again) and shockwave followed suit. However Aftershock did much better in the friendly fights winning a 21 way melee- a fantastic fight for us!

Robots Live! Burgess Hill- 12th&13th April

We returned to Burgess Hill hoping to do as well as last year and reach the final. Whirlpool was flipped out of the arena in it's competition fight but Shockwave was much better, it flipped 2 robots OOTA and still lost the fight despite still running at the end of the fight. We also ran a competition where the winner would get to drive Whirlpool- well done to the winners who showed some of the top teams how to drive properly. Overall this was another fantastic event with a great atmosphere.
