Yes we are!

We hosted the 09 UK championships there last year. This year we are hosting some power tool drag racing with our robots on display.

is this the same makerfair that is hosted by make magazine?

Yep, affiliated to Make in the US

I have a couple of Humanoid Robots to bring along and maybe a person following rover. Just waiting to see if we can take part as we are hoping to take the place of a group who can no longer attend.

We hold events occasionally around the country pitting our humanoids against each other in Sumo, combat, Football, etc.

James,

Have you found anywhere official where they are discussing the event i.e., forums, etc.

I find an almost complete lack of information anywhere !
