Roaming Robots, Bristol 17/18th July

World Championship Filming Announcement
Competitor Filming to take place at Roaming Robots Bristol event

In order to provide a fantastic live show experience, as well as provide more insight into the human and educational aspect of the event we need to get footage of teams ahead of the World Championships with their robots.

Rather than try to organise something outside of the live events, realising that everyone is busy - Looking through the FRA live events calender, the next big event is the Roaming Robots event in Bristol on the 17th and 18th of July. Were going to use this event and bring along a crew to cover off some of the filming needs that we have. This will include (but not limited to)[*]Interviews with teamsChance to explain how your robot works for the technical viewerCut-away shots of robotsShots of robots running[/list]We understand that our US and European colleagues cannot make it to Bristol for filming, and other arrangements will be made for them where possible, however - we would like all the UK seeded robots (and they are)

Big Nipper, Bulldog Breed, Dantomkia, Firestorm 6, Gravity, Grim Reaper, Kan Opener, M2, Mute, Storm II, Tornado, Typhoon 2, and X-Terminator.

We have quite a lot to cover off with all the teams, not just the seeds in terms of photos and interviews etc ! Its important that we get these extra bits of the show filmed well in advance so that we can step away from the pure entertainment of Robot Wars TM and move towards something held together better enabling us to put on a far more rounded show.

Also, as an aside, weve now had in almost all the entry fees from teams taking part, and well be getting entry packs sent out to teams in the next few weeks !

If you have any queries about the planned filming session at Bristol, please email enquiries@extremefightingmachines.com and if youre going to the event, dont forget to let Roaming Robots know !

Look forward to seeing you all there..... smile for the camera !

(please note that RC wars has now changed its date to the week after this event, so the above post was not needed, sorry)

Should be good to have lots of roboteers together for the last big meet before the FRA championships

Jonno, it looks as if Dantomkia will be going to this event. Mind you, that does depend on another commitment that I have.

Mike.

Jonno, Storm II will be there, and hopefully well be debuing our new featherweight at Bristol too

And so you should be. I went to Newark last weekend for my first event and it was definitely worth it. Different from watching on telly, as youre about 2m from the arena. (so you see, hear and feel everything at full-scale as opposed to watching through a camera and TV screen)

In fact it was so good Im coming to this one, too...

Brilliant. Its definately something Im looking forward to haha

Jonno,
We shall be there Sat + Sun,look forward to it

Jonno,

dont you ever sleep at night?

Arthur.

perhaps I should pay more attention to the pm bit.

hehe, he wasnt sleeping in the post before that :)

hehehe!!! Yep thats normal of Jonno :)

Mr Stu

only 1:55am, this time, still got an hour before bed time :)

Too much time is waisted sleeping in this life... enjoy it. !!!

Jonno

damn straight

plus sleeping is boring

depends what your dreams are about. ooooohhh yeeee! :)

Can we buy tickets on the door?

Mike - i would advise you to order your tickets now. I booked 2 tickets for some mates of mine, and they were running out fast the woman told me over the phone. They dont post the tickets out to you anyway, you book them, then collect them there on the door. Come to the Saturday night show :)

Mr Stu

Is there still any spaces left for feathers? I would love to attend this event, but at this time i am not 100% sure that my robot will be ready intime, theres alot of things wriggled loose, bend and bashed now, so theres alot to do!
But can you put PloughBot down anyway, i will most likley to be able to attend!
Thanks
Grant-PloughBot-Team Rc Wars

Oops, Id better get a move on then...

(at least they dont have to ship them up the other end of the country to me, if I can pick them up on the door)

Are the seats allocated or can you sit anywhere you want?

No idea, as its up to the venue, i assume sit anywher first come first serve, as it is at most over big places like this.

Mr Stu

Hey

I am wondering is anyone stayin at bristol till monday morning? If so any chance of a lift to the brsitol airport?

Regards
Ian

Put us down for this one with the Heavy and one feather. Possibly a new feather :)

Another feather! how many you built now?

Looking at a video of one battle your axe featherweight looks amazing. Nice to see an axe (hopefully effective) featherweight for once :)
