Ok, the XFM website tells me its at a school but whats its name and address?

Do you think theres any chance of money (perhaps some of the prize money...) being used to cover some of the travel costs (i.e. £25 quid a team that turn up to cover travel)? All this travelling is nearly as expensive as the robots themselves!

Does it happen to be:
Stanway School
Winstree Road
Stanway
Colchester
CO3 5QA
??

Ewan, we should consider our selves lucky over on the other side of the pond it costs money to take part not the other way around!

Karoline yes correct, we cryptically put the details of the venues were at in a section on the website called Venue Info.....

As for spending prize money on travel money, if people would rather splitting the prize money across all the attending teams perhaps thats something to talk about at the next event face to face rather than on the forum ?

Karoline, not sure whats not clear about a map marking the location of the school, and giving you the roadname, town etc ?

Have sent you a mail - hopefully I can answer any questions you might have directly.

Ed - XFM

Can we have a full address of the school for people with Sat Nav?

Mr Stu

Ok - think people are just taking the p*ss now :P

Karolines already posted the address, which I confirmed was right. The website has a link to a map, which ties in perfectly with the address Karoline posted above - to reiterate the address again though....

Stanway School
Winstree Road
Stanway
Colchester
Essex
