Isnt there anybody else interested in going there?
ye
just costs 2 much :P
Id love to, just the cost of getting the robot over there.
You could build a smaller robot. I was there last year and had a 1 pound (American antweight) and a couple of 3 lb robots. I had a 12 pound one as well but those wont be running this year. I guess that a feather would go in hold luggage at no extra cost - its worth checking with the airline you are cobnsidering using.
i wudnt go without the heavy tho as id say thats the main class and wouldnt spend 1000s gettin there n that n not take it
Well i dont want to ship my own robot becasue theres no pit in the arena. Therefor it might have been interesting to split costs with shipping 2 robots in 1 box
But i am thinking about going there to have a look, and maybe borow someones featherweight as bagage.
u can take beauty if we can get it to u somehow
shouldnt be a problem
might need some good armor for there tho lol will have to see how much weight we have
How much is it to ship a 100kg bot and spares? (just out of interest)
Hi Suren,
Between £400 and £700 are the sort of figures Ive heard for a heavy.
However, we always used to take the robots apart and pack them into bags and check them in - youre allowed two 32kg cases each. So needs at least three people per teams to carry a heavy and tools etc. Five brit teams did that to one of the events.
Might be a bit more tricky getting through airport check-in these days...
