well hello there!
i have been doing lots of things recently, some obvious, some not, some i can talk about, some i cant, but either way lots of exiting stuff has been happening.
first off i guess i should talk about RFRC, it was great! (if you will permit me to blow my own trumpet) lots of robots, lots of carnage, lovely-jubbly! the house robot wasnt finished in time but we got the lovely peter waller to lend us one of his, so all was well. we also had quite a few newcomers…Hello newcomers!!! they were all great, everybody was lovely and dan scooped all the prizes….yay!
i have also started to upgrade my youtube channel, it has a cool new wallpaper, some extra features and i have started to upload some music and vlogs.
yep you read right, music and vlogs, i have started to steer teamorr96 in a new direction, and am beginning to upload a more wide variety of videos. and seeing as i have a passion for music and i like to talk about random articals of news i thought “hey, why not?”
dont worry though, i will still of course be uploading the usual robot related videos, and no i am not going mainstream…well sort of, i am a human and as a humani like to gain popularity, so therefor while trying to stay loyal to my regular viewers i am going out in search of more views.
this is a good thing
while meeting my own personal goals of becoming more well known and premoting my music, i will also be premoting the sport of robotic combat, therefor bringing new people into the “club” .
i am also in the midst of recording a album, yes a real album! i know this is all coming really fast…and you might not understand bits of it until its done (belive me it will be worth it) but i personaly am getting really exited about all these developments, the album will be a “lets test the water and see how this goes” type moment, yes i am a musician, i have actualy been told im quite a good one actualy! but i, as mentioned above, am not that well know yet (thats part of the reason im trying to get more views) it will be created in my dads recording studio (of course) and will distrubuted to all those who wish to own one, it should also be on itunes for those people who dont like physical CD’s. i might also have some youtube videos here and there which would allow you to listen to it for free! (yes i am trying to make money off this, but only anough to create more music…which is actualy quite expensive!) and website viewers will get “special, behind the scenes footage”
lots of work is being done on the website too, a new “music” page has been added, which will be updated in due cause, and theres this obviously! but i am also putting several youtube buttons around…like these
all of which are linked to my youtube page, might get us a few more followers, oh and please dont brand me a sellout, this album is somthing i genuinly am putting a lot of work into, so i would like it to get to the widest audiance possible! oh and…i kinda like the prospect of robots being back in the public eye, dont you?
please bear in mind that there is little likelyhood of me ever being sucessfull, but hey i can dream right???
thanks for sticking around this long by the way, its been rather rambling but i hope it will become clear when the time comes.

1sr august 2010:
more work done on the site: almost there now! did some re-wireing on pure evil at last! ^^ looks good so far, but was rather complicated! it seems froggy was rather fond of terminal blocks…anyway pretty much ready to go exept for a few cosmetic details (LED etc) but pretty much there now! about to take it for a test drive…okay well im not quite at that stage yet but you get the idea :- )
its getting pretty hot here now, i love the isle of wight, tis just so awsome! summer is awsome too, more hours in the day means more hours to build robots! i just wish it was like this all the time…damn english weather….damn school :- P

life is what you make of it, if you are content to just sit back and let others do the work then your life will never be exiting, you have to grab it by the horns and make it happen…no matter what!

25th july 2010:
major work done on the site: hope you like it! added pictures, news, event write-ups, links and how to’s! feel free to leave a comment if theres anything you think i have missed or got wrong, however for a few days you might notice a few pages that arnt quite finished or have “temp” or somhing on them…thats because i am in the middle of editing/adding pages,
life is good at the moments, summer is here! (hooray!) so its off to the isle of wight….im looking forward to it but im also a bit miffed about having to leave all my robots behind when im so close to finishing them! *sigh* ah well, dad says i can bring pure evil and a few bits so 
should have that all sorted soon…the wiring at the back is rather messy and becons for a rebuild…itsall looking rather burnt (which is a worry…) luckily no blue smoke so i recon it was just a loose wire shorting out on somthing…right about to head down to the island now, wish me luck! hehe
oh, and heres a video of me testing it (pure evil) … its on really low power though :/ need to get a charger:

Attitude is important… in doing just about anything, keeping a nice and cheesy “can do” attitude makes it possible to breeze through things that negative people think are impossible!

i decided to create a log page, the old one had some glitches and tbh was a little messy…i hope this one is a bit better, here you can find whats going down in camp orr, new stuff will be near the top, old near the bottom, happy browsing!
