TRAVEL NEWS!! Local radio has put out that junction 7 of the A14 (the one that is used for Wicksteed park I think). Will have roadworks starting next month that will go on for 8 Months.
So anyone traveling that way, to this or other events, like Bury St Edmonds, be ready for delays.
This reminds me I never did put the photos from last year online...
Ive just had a call from the sign company doing the banner for Wicksteed Park Robots...
They need images of robots attending the event for a 6m banner they are producing.
If you want your robot advertised send me the images to kane (at) makerobotics (dot) com with something along the lines of:
Subject: Wicksteed Park Robot Image
Message: Please find attached image of *robot name* for the banner being made for wicksteed park.
Attached: *robotname*.jpg
Im not sure why they called me... I guess Im the only persons phone number they have.
Jonno
Can you please add Weird Alice to the list of attendees.
Ian
Team Weird Alice
this event still going on?? my birthday on the 10th so i will be making a weekend of it
yeah still going ahead. details will come soon.
jonno
Thanks for your images guys!
If anyone else wants to submit a picture of their robot please send to kane (at) makerobotics (dot) com
Feedback from the sign company has suggested that a 25cm 300dpi image is prefered (but doesnt mean if you dont submit that you wont get on the poster).
Maybe a dumb question, but....
Wheres Wicksteed Park?

aahh thats not fair!
Is there anyone taking middleweights to this event ?
come on guys simon wants to test his bot against any middleweight :)
we might take blazer, but all depends on time, as were currently building all new robots (Merlin, Alpha & G3) so probably wont have time to finish blazer. Ill know more after Billing event, depends on how Merlin performs.
If you got Blazer ready, Id get Broadsword III ready. John may even be available and perhaps Kyle would be willing to get Phoenix out of the shed too.
Julian (or any other middles) definetly going? i can get Blazer done for then, its just that i have a featherweight in desperate need of a re-build. but would be nice to see middles run.
Just got back from York, missed the Billing Aquadrom e emails, Bugger, could have stopped off there as easy as Newton, so now am looking for another event to test Carrot, is there space at the Kettering do?
I might be able to do both days?
Lets go, Alan. Ive also dropped Kyle (Phoenix) a line. Middleweights just arent middleweights without John and the Steel Sandwich.
Quick question as a newby to live events. Whats the floor surface going to be at Wickstead?
Its Roaming Robots, so MDF last time I looked.
the boards underneath are MDF the top layer is plywood. the surface depends on how new the floor is, last week they were just using old boards and it was very rough. If it has a new floor down then the surface is fairly good (although Mute always finds an edge to get under!).
If I can get some speedos in time I will bring Green Meanie
Looking back at the archives I did put The Savage Toaster up for this in March, but of course its mutated into Ka-Pow! since then. Wreck-or-Deck is still a bag of bits- but its quite a big bag of bits now. Its a kind of progress...
Current list of robots coming is now online on the Roaming Robots web site - http://www.RoamingRobots.co.ukhttp://www.RoamingRobots.co.uk - You can still sign up to come on the site.
Mr Stu
need more middleweights!
Hey Alan,
Merlin is Star Attraction.
I went up to Wicksteed today to see if they were promoting it yet.
Have a look at my profile pic
Prices are very reasonable.
There were hundreds of cars with families today, and there was no special attraction on. God help us next week there will be thousands.
Ian
Wahoo! i see they have some class :P
We know a few people who may be coming just to see the robots.
Been working on blazer the last few days. Even if only a few middles turn up, we can have a play against the feathers :)
Also started on new Alpha, but i doubt it will be done in time.
Anytime Alan ;)

I presume that the camping option is still available.
Just to confirm, I havent got my arse even slightly into gear, so I wont be coming to this event. Ill have to find myself another aspirational debut event.
-- Kev
Sorry Guys
Tanto has to stay home whilst i work
Blazer will be running for the weekend. Any other middles coming, well have the first ever middleweight fight outside of RW! new Alpha MAY be done, not sure though.
Ill try my best, Alan, but Ive just discovered that the 36v speedos dont actually physically fit into Broadsword. They were never bought for Broadsword and Broadsword was never built to take them. The Victors will have to go back in. Which day and at what time will you be up for a battle?
were there both days, as we have 2 feathers and a heavy as well.
Jonno,
What times do you want people there? Is it a late show on Sat, etc like the Winter Tour format? Or an early start on Sat as normal? If early on Sat, can we camp on Friday night as well as Sat?
And Taurus is not on the list of bots on your website. Is that cos weve never registered through your site, even though I cant remember being asked to? If so, can we still come, and have we lost out because of it, as to expenses? (Are there any expenses?)
