Applied with Venator V2 :D
Mr Mangle will be at Robo Challenge with plenty of upgrades. This year's goal is to not get stuck on the pit button :lol:.
Applied with Mantis and hotel booked! Cya there guys (hopefully)
Conker 3 signed up! She has a title to defend!
Binky is also signed up and is getting significant upgrades :)
Sign ups doing really well, almost 3/4 in already! Thank you ever so much guys we really appreciate the support. We're hoping to take our events to the next level so I hope you enjoy this year.
Is there a specific date you will be checking things by? I gave my blog URL for the photos / evidence, was planning on adding more pics over the weekend.
T3 registered!
Can someone direct me to the signup link please? I must be staring at it but just can`t see it. :)

This event looks too good! If I make it in, booking it off work and going for the whole thing í ½í±Š
Applied with Barróg, now here's hoping the thing can be finished in time!
Luna-tic signed up. Got a few questions, but I'll message you via FB. Looking forward to it.
I just applied with my strange creation Straddle! :D My first ever feather too! Apparently Tauron is too big or something
Edit: It's now called Spectre!
GD luck i Think i could build it time but i can't get the time off.... *sigh*
We've applied with a scaled down Concussion, and two other mystery entries...
I can't wait to smash up all your hard work
Because of a double booking (going to F1 in Francorchamps) I have a non-refundable hotel booking for 3 nights (Friday to Monday) for 2 persons including breakfast at Ibis Birmingham New Street. Anyone interested?
I'd be interested, but I'll have to get back to you, since I don't know if I've been accepted the the competition yet.
Is anyone entering a horizontal spinner this year? Just deciding where to add extra armour to the new bot...
Who needs armour? Just barebones it and stick an 8kg beater on the front :p
Tempting...
But I like my 8mm Ti armour :p.
I'm entering a tyre ;)
I considered entering a brick into Hebocon earlier in the year.
HARDOX BRICKS FTW !
or maybe not
It does beg the question as to how effective bricks would be as armour.
I have an inch and a half of, erm... plastic! HDPE on top, low density plastic (yes, chopping board!) filling in voids and and brittle yellow stuff for the chassis, all under tension.
Reasonably confident FD will be able to get stuck in for a while before he gets torn to shreds, and since even I don't know what direction he will go in, the other bots won't stand a chance!
Any insight on when we can expect any news on the application?
Already booked the hotel as they were cheap but lets hope its not for nothing!
I too would quite like to know this :)
Hi guys, i have to withdraw, unfortunately. I have applied with Bonx, please remove it from the selection :(
I could really do with some news on this soon. I don't want to sound impatient, it's just hotel and train prices are getting more and more expensive the closer we get to the event, and as a student I need to save all the money I can! :)
It looks like a lot of people are building especially for this event so I bet it is a bit of a pain figuring out who to invite and who will be ready. My bot was meant to be ready for Manchester in April but overran a bit - he is 100% finished now.
Would it help if we did a head count of new bots which are / will definitely be ready?
Can't hurt!
*raises hand* Mine'll be ready in time, no problem. I actually did a test run of the weaponless prototype version of my bot at Grantham :) (The one with the massive wheels). 60% chance it'll be called Spectre, 40% chance it'll be called Straddle. Think... Huge
https://youtu.be/6st6Kafh8_U - First fight!
100% ready to fight and turn up
Flat Damon
Aegis
Pretty damn close, will be ready
99% Spectre, 1% something else
Hatchet
Honey Badger
Venator V2
Battleaxe - QBNut
Still being built
Sibling of Aegis (decent chance)
Can't make it
Bronx
Aegis is always ready for a brawl. :) My new bot should also be ready in time, I'd say a 70% chance.
Just waiting on some custom CNC'd parts then all done. Also It is really going to be called Spectre I should think :P
This thing I'm building is actually going to be crazy ahaha
Hatchet is basically ready, couple of anti spinner mods to make and we're done

I am going to say that The Honey Badger will be ready (90% certain) by the end of August.
