Re: 2011 Robo Challenge UK Championships. April 15-17, NEC
We've signed up with Whirlwind, Heatwave and Whirlpool although Whirlwind may be changed for Aftershock 2 if that gets put back together in time.
Looks like this is going to be a good event- we have tickets for Gadget Show live anyway so this is even better :)

I wouldn't say no to it, personally. I entered last year's for my first event and I had enough left to compete last Sunday. Besides, you could always just enter the annihilator on Saturday & Sunday. Most of the destructive spinners will be in the semis & unable to enter.
Plus the white boards. There were about 5 a weekend day? in Yeovil. 2 of which were non spinner. Check out the rogue two videos for examples.

so i could come allong and have a couple of fights without some spinners/the less destructive ones?

That would be up to the event organizers but since 'Robots appearing for whiteboards' came up in the entry form - I would assume so.

Re: 2011 Robo Challenge UK Championships. April 15-17, NEC
does entering this come with free entry to gadget show live?
Re: 2011 Robo Challenge UK Championships. April 15-17, NEC
does entering get you free parking? think thats £8 a day?
Re: 2011 Robo Challenge UK Championships. April 15-17, NEC
The scruffy Scots are pooling our resources, so Drumroll II and Boner have both been entered :D
Was just going to put Carcinus in the whiteboards but decided at the last minute to throw it in the main comp. The rebuild means it should - should - stand up better to the spinners.
If entry to this event means entry to the whole of Gadget Show Live, I will be very impressed with what James and Grant have organised for us, and also very excited as (assuming they have a stand again this year) I will be able to go and admire all the Roland electronic drum tech 8)
Can't wait! :proud:
Re: 2011 Robo Challenge UK Championships. April 15-17, NEC
ooooh Roland will be there, hhhhmmmmm.
Do you think entering this as a first event would be a bad idea? Also a lot of people mentioning the 02, I'm confused I thought this was the NEC in Birmingham?
