22nd - 24th July European Championships 2005

Arrangements are going more or less as planned. The Game Extreme event is growing all the time. Now there will also be a DJ competition, whatever that may be :-)
Euro2005 will also be filmed for Dutch tv and maybe a Swiss documentary.

Ordering tickets for audience has been improved;
tickets for Robot Games / Game Extreme can be ordered at: http://www.game-extreme.nl/shopwww.game-extreme.nl/shop
In English, Dutch and German, Euro or Pound, via credit card, so it shouldnt be any problem.

What we now need are a couple more heavyweight entries. Not all of you that where so positive at the start of this thread have appplied yet, please do so as soon as possible.
We may be able to help out with transporting a few heavyweight robots. If transportation is your problem, please let us know.

We received a request to organise a tournament for 6 kg robots. Is there any interest in that here? Please let me know.

Entered so far are:

Pulverizer - Kan-opener E - Storm II - TAN - Sater II - Spike - Beast - Hard - Scorpion - Twilight - frollino - Hammerhead 3 - DisConstructor - Twister - Merlin - R-evolution - Livid - Snakebite - Velocirippa - Mighty Mouse - St. Agro - Iron Awe 4 - Tartarus - Hades - Brutus - Ripper - Terrorhurtz - Gravity 5 - Three Amigos - Ansgar - Flepser II - ubervolt

Blazer have fallen by the wayside and John (Steel Sandwich) has been away for a while, although I suspect that he is merely spending some time with a real life whatever that may be.

Could someone with local knowledge confirm exactly where the RAI centre is? Its not clear from the map on the RAI website:

Which train station is it nearest to, Station Amsterdam-RAI south of the A10, or RAI north of the A10:

many thanks

Ed just pointed out to me that on the PDF map, north is to the right... this makes things rather more clear. Obviously a cunning plan to confuse foreigners. So the RAI centre is north of the A10.

Hi John,
The station is located between the 2 lanes of the motorway. There are signs that will point you in the right direction. If I remember well, you turn left from the stairs coming down from the platform, leave the station, take the tunnel on the left, then the tunnel to the right and you will see the RAI complex meters away. Or you can ask anyone there.

are you taking terrorhurtz on the train john ???:)

We are currently developing the competition model. Please prepare for at least 2 fights per robot.
We will also set up an arena for 6kg raptors; 2.5 x 2.5 meters with Polycarb, so full contact. Just for the fun of it.

Hi Marien

How many time it will be between fights? Will it be possible to re-charge batteries in the meantime?
Thanks

Gherardo

How fast can you charge them? :)
