problem sorted, no help needed, thanks anyways
There now is a Robot Zone section on the RIAT page. Dosent say much but mentions a world record to do with robots, going to that section says it is still under construction.
I like the youth challange, Pitty us older roboteers (I feel really depressed saying that when I am 18) cant take part. I personally think it would be great fun to try and build a robot to do that.
Regards
Ian
hmmmmmm, im still young enough... bwahahahahahaha
I prefer bouncy castles myself :)
As i designed the youth challenge, we are at the moment discussing opening up to roboteers aswell as i think it will be fun.
Will let you know.

This event is turning into a monster !!
Following some interest from roboteers over 16, we have decided that if anyone fancies a go at the Youth challenge i have designed, then please feel free to have a go.
More info here€¦.. - http://www.roamingrobots.co.uk/educationproject1.htmhttp://www.roamingrobots.co.uk/educationproject1.htm
The take up, we expect to be slow for the first year, but hopefully, if we can show how easy it is then we can encourage more under 16s to have a go for 2006 !!! That€™s what the aim is !!!
Im building one..... Fancy a challenge???

Sounds cool!
I may build one even though Im a little over the age limit...
I just read your post thoughly... Im definately in...
Any advise on size? E.g. How far apart will cones be placed?
further spec of all obsticles will be put on the site in the next two weeks.
Im aiming for basically feather weight size machines.
JOhn
NO TITANIUM .......... big nipper crew are out then .... thats all they use :-)

Hi Pete,
John & I thought we may have a go at this one.. How many pieces are we required to cut the cones, ramp etc into?? :crazy:
Is anyone going to take this seriously?
:-P
Note to self...Remember to get Kane a sense of humour for his birthday! :)
:sad:
They also use nylon. Lots of it. Full nylon robot. :)

:) (why doesnt that link work?)
Seems like Mike of the PLunderbird team will be there as well, his bot junior is pictured on the record page. Had a reply from the RIAT, as I wrote to them about the Tigers Roar part. Did not say anything about mike but did mention Skeletron, Skuttle and Cyber Snail as being in the world record attempts.
Does anyone know what time/day we need to be at this event yet?
Dave
Im getting there the day before. Dont know what time yet though. Should give us plenty of timne to set up for 8Ack.
I think things should be kicking off 10:00 ish on the Saturday.
Roboteers Read Below and Act NOW!!!
Dear Roboteers,
Roaming Robots have been in close contact with RAF Tattoo since shocking events that took place a few days ago in London. Due to this the RAF have new procedures in place which we need to follow.
We have just sent out a 2nd email to all teams coming to Air Tattoo. Due to recent events that happened in London, RAF Air Tattoo is stepping up security.
Some of you may have sent us an email with Car Reg numbers and so on, well ANOTHER email has been sent to you asking for More Information, team members names etc.
You need to supply the information before 9pm Tuesday 12th July, or were going to have problems in getting you into the showground. Also all teams members will need to bring photographic ID with them.
The email will also include days and times when to arrive. Main thing is you need to arrive before 7:30am on the Saturday, or your done for really. Stuck in big queues, wont be able to get close to the Robot Area, something like 100 meters away. We would rather not end up with some roboteers bringing robot stuff 100 meters away, it€™s bad enough 3 meters away.
So check your in boxes now. If you don€™t think you have received this email, email us now to Roboteers Read Below and Act NOW!!!

Have they been specific about what photo ID is acceptable? Will just a driving licence do?
A driving licence will be fine.
Another email is going out soon from John F to everyone whos coming. This has more detailed information on where to go and when during Friday/Saturday and Sunday, which we recevied from the RAF last night.
THe Photo ID is mainly for the Friday when teams arrive as public are not meant to be on site on Friday, so they want to know who the hell is on site on Friday. But Again, as were all arriving before 7:30am when the public are allowed in, they may still ask for ID.

Just spoted something on the Robot Zone part of the RIAT site. Sugest you all look at it, seems the feathers will be taking on a team from China!!
Linked http://www.airtattoo.com/airtattoo/showcontent.asp?ParentID=http://www.airtattoo.com/airtattoo/s...ID=@0000000512
It should be interesting to see what they have built and to say hello to Noel again.

Come on then who did it
On the camp site atm. It was a good fight :)
Pwned !!! But really who did it ?
yea it was a great fight. little spinner was great, but john was mega brave and kept coming back for more at geoffs exspence! mini vantec questionable, 1 astro in half, and gear box buggered. oh and john blew big vantec in big scorpion. mega £££££!!! will it be ready for EU champs. we will see.
On way back from event (slow traffic). Great show, welldone to RR crew and the winners; Little hitter & 8654t. See you all in Holland.
Great event, packed seats plus 4 deep standing on two sides.
Well done crew as well organised as ever.
Yes very good event hope its there next year :)
Thanx to all and JOHNNO ;)
Just got back, Had somes good fights, Little spinner got a scratch from Scorpion Evoloution but later damaged the Mag motor itself by hitting a Gas Bottle too hard (was that yours as well Geoff?)
Sorry Geoff for the windup but it wasnt my Idea, Evo still all works after some super glue was added to the astro :) but Batterbot may need a spot of welding. Hope you get the big one fixed for next week as Im looking forward to seeing it in action.
Little Hitter wasnt fully fixed from last weekend and had lost backwards on one wheel and the speed controllers finally packed in today. Big Nipper snapped a motor shaft and had some strange(lucky) Judges decisions before getting well and truely stuffed in the final by 8654t & Ewe2.
Didnt see much of the Airshow but the robots were entertaining enough and certenly pulled in the crowds.
Would quite like to see some good pics of the insides of an astro gearbox...
Fantastic event, bit hot though! :) Hopefully will happen next year as it was a great atmosphere and I think everyone enjoyed it.
Dave
great event, Merlin ran well (for a change!) just had a problem with a wheel but will be sorted for euro champs (a big thanks to Gordon for helping out). I dont think i saw any of the planes, although i felt the ground shake every time one went past.
