10th June - RR at Birmingham Think Tank

Very much the same as the Sheffield mayfest.

The Roaming pay to drive fleet will be in attendance and the arena will be available for any feather weight teams who fancy a day of play.

The event is the Uk Micro mouse finals. Which will see robots from all over the world taking part. Seehttp://micromouse.tic.ac.ukhttp://micromouse.tic.ac.uk for more info.

Outside the Think Tank is not only an open air concert, but a big screen where world cup football will be shown.

Football is the theme, and so robots will of course be playing aswell.

Any teams which want to know any more info, or wish to attend, get in touch to me. john@roamingrobots.co.uk

See you soon

Well What A Wonderfull Day The Weather Was So Good The Big Screen Outside Attracted Hundreds Of People A Big Thanks To The 3 That Came In And Han A Drive On The Robots :rofl:
Big Thanks To The Teams Who Turned Up For A Play ........See You All Soon ........PETE..:proud:

i was very impressed by the mouse things
some very clever chappies there.

hey mark, who was the guy you were talking with most of the day? you know the one, yellow shirt, looked like dr marvin monroe from simpsons. now that guy was a character!!

cheers to pete and family for making us all very welcome and really enjoyed a lovely relaxed day, and sorry to the nipper boys for breaking both their robots within 30 seconds of each other.

The Micromice were impressive, well the Japanise ones were, not too sure about the english ones yet :) Will have to do something about that. The fastest one solved the maze in under 15 seconds, with a speed run of 3.4 seconds.

Cant remember his name, he helped setup the event as well and since his mouse was not finshed (same as mine) we just watched. Shame there were not more public inside, they were all watching the big screen outside.

Flipper was easily fixed, but Graeme looked at Hitter yesturday and the block that holds the Axe is cracked on top of the ram, so need to make a new one :sad:. General wear and tear really, that Axe has been used way too many times :).

sorry.
taking bids from other roboteers now. starting at £50, ill try to blag a go of scorpion, which will inevitably result in it breaking (james touch of death!) price goes up the closer we get to the uk champs :)

For those who were there watching the big screen:-

I think the Council got off very lucky this time, but council tax might have to go up to cover the expense as they might not have insurance.

ergh!
