That sounds like a reasonable approach, for example we don't live far from Terry, getting Storm II to him would be easy. Having said that though, I'm with Alan anyway to be a second pair of hands, so could take Storm II with him - either way, we'll get it there this year if it kills us :o)
Perhaps that's the best approach going forward, get all the entries in and then we can work out the most efficient logistics.
I am told that everyone who applied for funding has been informed of their positions. We have two tiers for funding this year. Tier 1 is the same as always. Tier 2 is the same as tier 1 but without the ferry ticket. If anybody on tier 1 has some space to fit some tier 2 stuff in, then tier 2 could leave their vehicle at the ferry port and travel. We would be able to pay the extra passengers. Please let us know if you have some room for robots or people!
Thanks,
Pete
Everybody has confirmed and all are now booked in. I'm sorry we cant fund more. Anybody who can find their own funding is welcome to come over and play. If you are coming, let us know in plenty of time so we can arrange space for you.
Info packs will be sent out next week.
Best of luck to all travelling!
so how much is it for me to go over the ferry in a van, and what is the hotel costs ?
Terry see you PM
Pete...is there any more emails been sent out regarding the event...we could do with knowing details as others might come off their own back...want to know ferry times, tho they might fly, hotel we will be stopping in stuff like that. Please.
NEED A BIG FAVOUR
Hi Guys, any of you who are coming over Dublin in Jan I need a dig out. I have bought some large robot parts in High Wycombe and the guy wont ship them.
Would one of you please be able to pick it up and get it to me in Jan? I'll cover your fuel for going out of your way. Its quite bulky but light (fiberglass) so you'll need a bit of space.
Please!
So who is going in the end.
Us... Robots Live, Swanny..... ?
For those travelling to the show, the official hotel this year is http://www.grandcanalhotel.ie/
Jason...Trevor.
Hope that everybody going out to Dublin tomorrow has a good time,wish we were coming out with you. :sad:
Team Toon.
Just packing to get a flight from Stansted this afternoon with Tim and Meral, should be a good event - there are quite a few robots going including some newbies.
Now all I have to do is put up with Ryanair :(
Hi there I haven't been here in a long time but meeting you guys again and spending some time with you have made me see it was the right thing to do .......only kiddin lads it was great to see you all again it's just a shame it's only for a few days once a year....I'd just like to say thanks again for all the fun times and a big thank you to little Gilbert ....see you soon Zulu please keep in touch caironbyrne@gmail.com
it was our pleasure
we all enjoyed it
thanks for the invite
hopefully next year beast can do a little better :)
We had a great few days...Robots entertained...had good times at the bar...and the banter and stealth bumming in the pits passed the boring bits quickly. Great Trophy...great winner and well deserved. Good banter with the DR...had good times with you and didnt want to go at the end...cried all the way home. Hopefully back next year to do it all again.
All safely back home and unloaded. Great to meet up with all our roboteering friends once again for a manic few days of entertainment. Thanks for the invitation, Zulu looses none of his charm, fantastic banter with the audience and the roboteers. Well done to Alan for winning the trophy and to little Sam who fought brilliantly throughout the few days.
3rd place play off on my face book account
