Hah

I'm Joshua Halsey

I'm 15 now and i still remember it.

Been looking for this vid for a long time thank you calvertfilm :)

@Knobydobs Hey, Joshua - Hi, you are the same age as my son Laurie Jnr, who was also in my team that year. I remember we were doing well until the very end when your car pipped us - well done! We had a good year though as we won the Sportsmanship award, plus the year before we did very well. I loved doing Techno Games, even more than doing Robot Wars. The 'robots' were more inventive. Thanks for dropping us a line.

@Calvertfilm My dad did it with his friend the year before but did not do very well at all (I dont think it even reached the end) I think we managed to hold the record after that :) (technogames was also the first time i played an xbox) :)

Wow, British commentators are sooo dull.

[Calvertfilm]

I dunno, I think he's great. Knows his stuff too.

[DTMRM8]

I'm sure he does know his stuff well but their voices just have no energy. I don't know if it is just the tone or something.

[Calvertfilm]

It's ok for us here in the uk :-)

@DTMRM8 i dont think so john pearce (robot wars) wasent dull!

[Calvertfilm]

@dalekandjedi Thing was we roboteers never met him (well I didn't) so he would commentat and say what he wanted, and we'd never get to get our own back. At least it was all in jest. Better be!!!
