2007 Fighting Robots European Championships
Hosted by ROBO CHALLENGE LTD.
Sponsored by PRIORY CASTOR & ENGINEERING

Robo Challenge are pleased to announce the 2007 European Championships for both Featherweight and Raptor class. On the 21st/22nd July the largest ever featherweight event will be taking place, and with up to 40 featherweights and 15 raptors, this will not be an event to miss out on!

The full combat competition is being held in the Robo Challenge Grade 2 arena, meaning all robots conforming to the FRA build regulations will be allowed.

Over the 2 days of combat, there will be 6 shows, consisting mainly of competition fights with 2 white boards in each session. Each robot entered into the main competition will have a minimum of 3 fights each to get a fair chance of progressing to the next round. Further details on the exact competition format will be published at a later date. Each competition fight will be judged by three independent judges to try and obtain the fairest decisions.

The first 12 non-UK entries will be given £75 to help with travel expenses. This will be given out per FRA membership. I.e. if 6 robots are fighting under 1 FRA membership only £75 will be given.

An entry fee of £5 per FRA membership is required to secure your place. This will enter 1 robot per team. Each extra robot entered under the same FRA membership will be a further £2. This Entry fund will go directly to the prize money and secure your entry into the championship. To up the stakes there will be a large prize fund - a minimum of £500!!!

The competition will be held in the Birmingham area with sign-ups and details on the venue to be published shortly.

Good Luck

Robo Challenge Crew

6kg bots, but are they 12 or 24 volts, and are there restrictions on the motors, materials etc ?
Its unclear on the thread.

Cheers Marien. Are these the rules for this event or are they FRA feathers but smaller ?
