Hello Graeme...sorry Glynn...What your actually saying here is that there is a bit of a stag night goin on involving Graeme from the Big Niper team. I do have a couple of questions for you....

1... Are we invited...i.e. Me, Jason, Adam and Daniel Emmett.
2... Where is said Stagnight taking place??
3... Can we come to the wedding.
4... No we cant and i dont blame you.
5... I promise we will all be on our best behaviour.

Looking forward to the champs now all thats just been confirmed by myself.

Hi Swanny,

We were hoping that you could sort out the stag night. Perhaps we could all stop at the same place that you stayed last year, thats if they will let us after what happened last year and we can try and sup them dry of champers again.

Is this event going to be a normal knockout competition? I've noticed some EOs (RoboGames and I think RoboChallenge) do a double knockout tournament, which seems to me to be much fairer. Has this been considered for this event? I can see it might be more difficult for the audience to follow, but for the big UK Champs it might be worth considering?

We would like to, but it can't be done within the time that we have. Robogames and RoboChallenge both have 3+ days where they can basically run constantly. We have a maximum of 6hours of 'Showtime'.

I see, I did think that might be a problem... Would it be possible maybe to have bigger melees for the losers of each round? To speed it up (but still give losers a chance)?

**blazerbotics** · 10th February 2013, 20:56

Looser melees will depend on the number of entries, again the issue is time as some machines would have very little time to turn around between fights.
