Cheers.
Just looking at the Gadget Show Live website and noticed that there are no videos or photos of this event (not that I could find) I swear I saw some press/PR people walking around taking photos/video-ing?
Anyone else got photos from this event?
For some reason they dont seem to have anything on the gadgetshowlive website, although all the press going round wearing Gadget Show T-shirts were actually directly from The Gadget Show. On the Channel 5's website under gadget show they have many video's on there from the gadget show live including the live show and most of the major stands and features including ours.

This is a pretty good video, shame it constantly re-uses footage of Bitza repeatedly driving into a wall.......

I get a content not available error unfortunately. Maybe we have to be FB friends?
added :)
I though a saw about 3 seconds of robots in one of the videos, but I have no idea which one...
I like your stop animation approach to photography Clive!
Any news on when the next RoboChallenge event will be? There were utterances at Kidderminster of 2 upcoming..........
You've probably heard correctly :lol:
We currently have 1 event confirmed and the second we are still working on. The details of what each event will be hasn't been arranged yet untill we know exactly what's happening with the second location. We will keep you updated as soon as we have a few more things set in stone.
Any rough dates? Even in which month as I wouldnt mind making sure I have something spinner proof for those events
Matt, I think James mentioned in another post that they will roughly be around the springtime. Plenty of time to get building :)
A nice new shiny lipo arrived in the post today as the first step of Drumroll upgrades, with more stuff on the way. Gonna leave myself plenty of time for testing this time round!
Now I just need the £200 for a pair of disks. It might be a while till we see my duel disk invertable monster up and about but we shall see it eventually, but I will be needing titanium...
Any more information on the next spinner event? Location? Date?
At the moment we currently have 2 events planned in April. We are still in discussions with what we are doing for Gadget Show live this year and should know shortly if we are holding a combat competition there or not. Either way, it's looking almost certain for a full combat event in April.
:D :D
There's a chance it might NOT be at GSL !!!!!??????? :shock:
At the moment, apart from Robo Challenge being at Gadget Show Live nothing else is set in stone. We are working on designing our stand layout and agreeing the amount of space available for us this year. Space is mainly what will be the deciding factor in running an competition for safety reasons. I will keep you updated as soon as everything has been arranged and agreed - but get your robots ready for April :proud:
Felt inspired to look through the photos and videos of last year what with all this imminent news!
Also found a neat way to capture images of single frames from videos.

Any other memorable hits of the event, I'll see if I can get them. Inertia XL and LS4 springs to mind, Boner and Beauty 4.....
I've sorted my rota at work so I'm free for the weekend of GSL so fingers crossed nothing will change!
Any idea when in April the champs will be yet? I'm at the point of getting it into my dad's head that we're going! :wink:
Does anyone reckon that I can get my machine finished and tested by april? It currently looks like this...

The ESC's should be here some time next week, I am going to get some LiPo's to power it, I need to buy the relay to activate the disc thats it electrically. Then I need to buy the plastic for the chassis and cut it to shape, assemble it and test it! I reckon its doable but I don't know if I will have enough time for testing and as I have seen/heard, testing is vital to make sure it doesn't just blow up or fall apart in the arena!
Oh, and have the disc made to!
Will made Inertia XL, I believe 2 days before the champs and that came 3rd! So anything is possible.
We never tested Bitza, finished it the night before, so had never driven it either and came 10th.
I think the key is to build a robot that can last the weekend.
Well the date is not confirmed so I might not even be able to make it if its right at the end of april cos I will have to be back at uni but I guess if I push it can be done! :-) Robochallenge 2012 here I come!
We are currently finalising details for the Gadget Show Live and our UK Championships there which would be on the weekend of the event. Sorry for delays but there is a lot of red tape to go through to organise events like this and we really appreciate your patience.
We also have an event confirmed for the week before the Gadget Show Live on April 4th & 5th which is our back up in case the Gadget Show falls through. If the GSL does host the UK Champs then the 4th/ 5th event will be demos, small competition and testing for teams so keep those dates free as well because thats definitely on! :)
Good to hear you've got a couple of events lined up James! Gives me the motivation to get Inertia running again!
PJ- 2 weeks before the event I had the idea for Inertia XL- even had it finished and painted 2 days before the event which gave me time for testing :) so yep, definately possible to get a new machine built before April.
I'm working on a new machine right now that is being built at uni- got most of the bits and know how it will go but so far nothing is put together- should be done in time :)
Sounds awesome Will! Look forward to seeing it. I amazed you got Inertia finished in time and it worked so well... good job!
Definitely will be our UK Championships in April, it all depends which event so get building!!! :)
Better get bof wood ready then , a quick dust should do it :P
A quick varnish?
@Will, ah well I'm not quite so impressed any more.... :D
hahaha nah that would be showing off :p
no lie i have had to sand mould of it before lol
i plan on bringing my heavily armourd feather and see if it gets destroyed ;)
whats it made of?
5-8mm steel ;)
pfft :lol:
wana bet, ive got 4.6kg spare to use for one plate ;)
