Hi all,
we're investigating coming over for this one and trying to work out some logistics.
Quick question for anyone travelling over from the UK - would anyone be in a position to take Storm II over for us in return for us covering some of your travel costs for your efforts?
Tim
Catch you on Msn tim we might be able to sort getting storm over in my van.
So far these robots are entered:
Feathers: bati-bati, Black, BonX, Hannibalito 1, Hannibalito 3, Havoc, HDPEcker, Kashei, Pain In The Asp, Pillow Torque, PresseR, PulveR, Scratchmarks, YES.
Heavies: Alien Destructor II, Das Gepack, Envy, Kan-Opener, Mrs Scorpion, Obsidian, Perolito, PulverizeR, RCC2, Ripper Evo, Spike, Storm II, Thor, Tilly Evo, Tough as Nails (TAN).
And some Raptors and Ants.
I do expect a couple of Heavies extra.
Marien,
Is 'Scratchmarks' related to 'Skidmarks'? If so I hope he doesn't bear a grudge, I still feel a little guilty about the mess I left him in at the Wormerveer event! :uhoh:
Can we arrive at the venue on Friday afternoon and unload our robots or do we have to wait until Saturday morning? Also, do we need to get passes to get into the Zandvoort circuit?
Thanks,
Geoff.
Sounds like its shaping up to be a fine event. Can't manage along sadly as its in the run-up to my exams but hopefully I'm make it to a mainland competition one day - you guys are always making the effort to come to UK events.
Having said that though, Drumroll's good to run if anyone wants to take it over :P
Collection from Glasgow only :)
Yes :-) But I don't think he has a problem with you.Quote:

Unfortunatly Jason and Thor wont be able to attend as Jason isnt really well enough after his knee op. That and time off for him. Anyway Jonno and I are still coming and are making a vid of the whole trip. We are trying to do it as cheap as possible with the credit crunch and all. We are looking forward to the event. We will be arriving friday for the party and camping.
ermm yeah thats one way to put it !!
Its going to be called how to go to holland and spend no money ! and blag as much as possible !!
We're not changing any money, so we cant be tempted to spend anything !
So far we have blagged ....
A van full of deisel ready to go.
A room at geoff smiths house the night before, and breakfast to go with it.
Free camping ( thanks marien ).
Free boxes of crisps, chocolate, drinks etc...
Taking a BBQ, and a fridge full of bacon / sausages.
Beer which we had left over from a night at my house which we never drank.
And while we are on the way / there we will be coming up with lots of money making scams!!
Envy and Ripper will be forsale, and it will be 30 euros for a drive for anyone interested ! :-)
And we've got sky 1 interested in buying our footage for £10,000 afterwards !!!
Thats how you do it !!
Jonno - Team Skint !
I tried to blag some petrol money from tim for taking over storm2 but i dont think he is going now.
I think there will be a que to drive Envy and Ripper we could be coming back with more than we go with. :uhoh:
There must be some other blags to be done. Could charge 1 euro to have a game on ps2.
50 euro to have a photo taken with me
1 euro for Jonno
Could sell food on bbq.
The Swan
Team Skint
lol sounds like its going to be fun for you 2

Ps. does that mean you're filming?
i would rather have a photo of the van than either of you 2. :mrgreen:
We are filming the trip but i dont think sky will be involved. Yes you can sell drives of Envy if you can i dont mind. I will take a picture of the van just for you clive. 8)
Envy and Ripper will be forsale, and it will be 30 euros for a drive for anyone interested !
Guys, 'for sale' was possibly not the best term to use...... Maybe 'for hire' would have been better (although I think 30 Euros would be about right if they were for sale!!!) :D
I can Just see the sign now.....
UIT-VERKOOP!!
TWEE ROBOTEN... GEMISBRUIKEN... KWALITEIT... NEIT TE GOED!
AFBRAAKPRIJS.... 30 EURO OF AANBIEDEN!!
Marien, sorry if my Dutch is not perfect, please feel free to correct!
By my (very) rough translation that is:
Eee-oop lad!!
Cute robots... mostly broken... quality... not so good!!!
Almost worthless but willing to pay you 30 Euros to take them off our hands otherwise we may have to abandon them in a motorway service area carpark!!
:rofl:
Your text is not bad, Geoff! I can print it onto some A0 posters, and arrange an auction, if you boys are serious about it!
What ferry are the Roaming Roboteers on?
Marien
I don't think they want to sell their robots!! (my text was ment as a joke!) But i'm sure that John and Swanny would hire them out for the public to drive for a small fee.
Andy and I are on the 08.10 Dover-Calais ferry, not sure about John and Swanny but they may be on the same one.
Geoff smith what time you coming back ????
Pete, I'm booked on the 18.30 (local time) ferry from calais...Why?
just looking at mine is all
Will prob be on the same one out but not the return :) :) :) :) :)
You can arrive on thursday, friday and saturday, from 7 am.Quote:

Camping is open from thursday and situated between the Slip School and the circuit. There will be no racing (noise) from 7 pm.
The parties have no free drinks, unfortunately :-)
The arena will be in the middle of a circus tent, and very busy they say.
I stopped counting the tv crews that will be there, but announcements have been on national radio for a couple of weeks now.
Speed & Gein will be serious racing, impressive demo's and a lot of crazyness. The full program and map will be on http://www.speedengein.com/ this weekend.
Thanks Marien,
Looks like we are in for a busy weekend. Please can you e-mail me your phone number just in case.
Thanks.
I will put it in an e-mail that will go out to all competitors.
Jonno and i are going on the same ferry as you geoff. We are also looking very much forward to it all.
1 extra entry: Black Frollino from Italy; HW Spinner.
Any chance of the full entry list?
Sure: http://www.robotgames.nl/registeruk/sho ... .php?id=24
Is it sure that Thor's not coming? I will take him off the list then.
I've sent e-mail to competitors, tonight. If you didn't get it (receive or understand), mail or call (better) me. I'll be in Zandvoort full-time from thursday morning.
It is true that Thor wont be attending which Teambud apologise. Envy will be there along with Jonno and Ripper. Ferry booked £54 return. NICE. Very much looking forward to your event.
It looks like it is going to be nice weather at Zandvoort. It will be dusty! Started to set up arena today. We're in a big tent, but limited on square meters :?
We are maybe 15 meters away from the dragstrip.
late entry BEAUTY 2 (good luck Johnno) luck after her
