Are spinners allowed at this event?
(only I know that spinners were banned but it doesnt say that on the RR page now)
please could you put kenny (feather) down on the list hopefully we will be coming if not i will let you know
Also intrested have sent jonno an e-mail regarding it.
Regards
Ian
Stephen it dosnt say spinners are banned no more as most Feather Weight spinners are given the OK to run. But heavy weight spinners are banned at this time due to safety.
Mr Stu
If there is still space put Iron-Awe down for this one.
Cheers

Thanks Grant
Ive just confirmed transport, so if there is space left please put Cayenne down for this one. Will email as well shortly.
Kevin,
Are you responsible for registrations? Is there still room to add Hard to the Newark list?
Hard is back up and running, improved drive system (read : wheels), new (home built) HP valve, buffer tank, RC interface (our own !)...and of course wed like to test this out...on whoever wants to see his robot fly....
Cheers,
Frank
Yep, Im in charge of applications.At the moment its just a provisional list, but Ill soon be sending a newsletter with full details and request for official applications.
Ill post here when that happens - so keep checking back to make sure Ive not missed you out.
Robot Rampage 2004 will be bigger and better than ever - as this time weve got the entire hall just for Roboteers (so loadsa space for displays & merchandise where the static modellers used to be).
Weve got soo much space that everybody whose listed to date should be assured of a place (provided you confirm your application promptly).
My biggest worry is that excess number of teams = less arena time per robot = unhappy campers :sad:
Now if any of you want to leave your robot on display and simply come for the social - then thats fine by us :)
Talking of social - this will be the usual mix of BBQs & Beer - except this time its seperate barrels for the Fri & Sat nights.Bad weather simply moves us to the hall for some real live entertainment :)
Roaming Robots will be providing their usual high standard of Tx control and general competition management, and Ive agreed with Jonno that well run Whiteboard + a Full Combat event as well :)
What more can we say, except check out my profile for a poster.
Cheers,
Kevin S.

Im not a member nor have a robot, but you more or less welcome me to come over and make myself known last year, cant i do the same this year? pretty pleaseeeeeee... wif a strawberry on top!!
cmon, ive even got the mail from Kev, so lemme come and i promise ill make myself know this year.. and ill also promise ill behave...
*she says*... *giggles*
Anyone can come along and watch the event - thats what Im doing. (and I dont have a robot, just a liking of robot battles)
Gravity 4 would like to come to this event too.
Fans are still welcome without a robot, but have to pay to get onsite (unless youve persuaded me youre a big enough groupy to earn a pass).
Display robots still earn a weekend pass for 1 car & occupants.
For obvious reasons the hall is divided between roboteers and spectators - but there is plenty of interaction accross the fence, and will be displays and merchandise on crowdside.
Loads more to see and do at the car show - so its a real good day out :)
If I was to dress up in foil, can I have a pass? *giggles*
tease :)
Yeh stick her on the barby
quoteFans are still welcome without a robot, but have to pay to get onsite (unless youve persuaded me youre a big enough groupy to earn a pass)./quote
Is the pass for being allowed to join up with the roboteers backstage, after the days action etc. or just for turning up and watching the show?
Ive never been to a live event before so I dont know whats what, and Ill need to know before I plan the trip.
(btw, what do you have to do to be a big enough groupy?)
This event is different to most in that people pay at the Showground Gates to see Kit Cars, Trade Stands and Auto Jumbles - and our Robot Rampage is side show held within one of the halls (at no additional cost).
Most exhibitors (which includes roboteers) camp onsite and drink their club beer around their club club bbqs. After the public have gone home, theres a nice family atmosphere across the grounds - and big social in a great clubhouse.
Showground passes are given to exhibitors via the club or association that they represent. They are per car + all ocupants and worth about £15 for the weekend (daily rate is a little more).
A neat way to get in cheap is to arrive in an unusual (special) car. These + 1 occupant are given free entrance on the gate and encouraged to park within the display areas.
Robot spectators are invited to hunt us down and hang in our hall as long as you want. Youll not be allowed pitside unless you have a seperate Roboteer pass (allocated by Roaming Robots when you book in a working or display robot). Mail me direct if you dont have a robot - but want to camp over.
Now - as for defining a Groupy . . . .
Kev :)
define a groupie and you get me last year dont ya Kev?:D hehehe :P footieball again this year guys set up by the one and only triggy herself. Kev asked me to other day :) so alls go
luv triggy

So basically Id have to pay in at the Showground gates (how much is it?) and then I can watch the battles, do that pay-to-drive thingy if I want and hang out in both halls (roboteer and spectator), but not the pits.
(as Ill be coming as a member of the public - unless being a diehard fan and forum regular says otherwise... - and stay overnight somewhere in the town)
Youve got that part right Stephen, perhaps we both should dressed up in foil, then Kev might just let us in... :mrgreen:
And no, you cant stick me in the barby, Im only ickle!!! Put Stephen in, he sounds much bigger than me! *chuckles*
*starts looking for Shauns old pass*
LOL, comming in foil would be fun, as it does tend to tear rather easily, hehe :)
Dont worry i wont rip it,....well not too much
Grant
Will that tablefootballthingy be there again ? I would love to beat the lads again and see their sad faces ! And yes, I will think of bringing along some earplugs. Just in case.
As for the car... ah well... I dont suppose our not-so-new recently purchased deukendoos would qualify for unusual car now would it ? http://users.pandora.be/P3/PQB1.jpghttp://users.pandora.be/P3/PQB1.jpg
The nickname translates as dented box (the other side is really worse for the wear, if you want to see the disaster area just change to PQB2.jpg).
Can you also add Trilibium to the list of feathers, he will be traveling up and camping with me once again,
thanks
Grant
Hope to have the tablefooty Babeth :) (Shane can you help again ?). Now - I can see that deukendoos really is a Kit Car! - but its not quite what the promoter was hoping to attract onsite :sad: :)
Grant - Ive added Trilibium to the list. Please remind me of the owners name and email (to make sure hes on direct distribution of info).
On that subject - general arrangements are being finalised tomorrow. Ive got a newslletter prepared which includes an note to send back as Confirmation of Application - and will send them out over the weekend.
Looking good,
Kev.
Would a 1966 Ford Zephyer 6 MkIII Police car with full lights/siren/signs be classed as unusual enough for you? Only original one left running! with a 60s caravan to camp in.
Trilibium- Wayne Cummins- wayne@rcwars.freeserve.co.uk
Thanks very much. Looking forward to this event!
Grant
Many thanks Grant.
Marky. Zephyer 6 in police colours & lights + a 60s van is one of many styles that we would be EXTATIC to see in our patch :)
Ok everybody - Newsletter went out last week. If you didnt get one - or have yet to reply, then youd better get back to me asap - as the list is bloody marvelous :) :)

Super Soakers at the ready?
Our kids are bringing their Super Soakers with them. Well keep them well away from the robots and the pits but roboteers are fair game.
You have been warned.
St. Agro
Oh, I see I have a month to build my own supersoaker then. Oh wel, the plans for that are ready, now to find time.
Its war. Just hope your soakers not up to Gravaties level.
