Thats ok, just as long as I know my spam bin didnt get an undeserved dinner :)
major update over the weekend.
formal signup emails going out for those interested to confirm attendance.
Accommodation and location info.
Announcement of arena status and spinner situation.
hi guys
the email has not yet gone out
it will be out sunday night or sooner.
We have been mega busy, so things like roboteer updates are a lttle behind schedule, sorry for the delay.
ah..... the best laid plans.
All are to be put out on saturday, my first day off in a long, long time.... assuming nothing else goes wrong.
again, sorry for the delays and thank for your patience.
ok guys, the updates are ready for sending, could I have any robots missed from this list that wish to attend, please make themselves known. the update will be sent tonight, so if you have not recieved it by Sunday morning, get straight back on here and let me know.
I am waiting on replies from Marco and Geoff, amongst others, on non related emails sent out last week, so I may have a problem with my email again. Cofirmation of receipt is geatly appreciated, and if Marco/Geoff or anyone waiting on emails could confirm if you have/have not recieved mail from me in the last 7 days?

If you are on the list and cannot make it, or should be/want to be on the list, please email me. If you are bringing more/less robots than those listed, email me. Any questions... you guessed it, email me.
Quick public update..... (this is also in the emails.)
This is planned as a grade 3 event (subject to official grading) so
+1>NO SPINNERS
feather of otherwise... sorry guys, but for a first event, it is the only sensible option.
(if you wish to have spinner battles/testing, it is ok to do this during a roboteer only session by prior arrangement, please let me know in advance via email, and if 5 or more spinners agree to a spinner only fight, Ill put a prize on. This would be a private session without any uneccessary people present, and outside of the main event.)
Rules specific to this event reminder.....
Teathers, it is a net roof, so if you should have them... make sure you have them.
Bottle heating, is not allowed, either by electric heaters or warm water. If you wish to cuddle your bottles I may allow it, but otherwise lets keep those bottles at room temp or below please.
Lithium batteries, with the exception of the 2 heavyweights currently running trials on this technology, no robot is to enter the event hall with lithium based batteries. This includes feathers and raptors. If this means you cannot make the weight with nicad or nimh replacements, you are welcome to move up a class in weight.
Accomodation, travelodge.co.uk and premierinn.co.uk have places in wrexham and chester, both within 12 miles of the event. Holiday in has 2 hotels in chester which are quite close, and http://www.stayinwales.co.ukwww.stayinwales.co.uk has a good list of B&Bs in mold and wrexham.
I have also noticed a very good rate at the wynstay arms hotel in wrexham, which may be worth a try on 01978 291010
Prizes are still to be confirmed, but we have at least £250 in the pot, plus trophies. Catagories will be announced on the day.
Saturday will be mostly warm-ups and whiteboards, with the main competition taking place on the Sunday, and maybe last show Saturday, depending on numbers.
More entries are welcome, and remeber, email me with any issues/questions/alterations/signups/withdrawals
}NO SPINNERS
feather of otherwise... sorry guys, but for a first eve
Probably gonna book a room online at the Wrexham Travelodge later on tonight - current plans are for travelling down on the Friday afternoon/early evening (might follow recommendations to take a break in Chester to admire the place :))
does anyone know where the following profiles went? I cannot get their email addresses as they appear to have been deleted?
Geoff Smith
Mr Stu
Dave Moulds
Just Confirming I cant come due to exams and robot not finished
Looking back over posts in this thread:
Geoffs profile has a new err, location I think is the best word, when his status changed to Refbot - check a recent post of his to get an active profile.
Stus status was set to Refbot on his post in this thread - dunno if thats changed now
Dave doesnt post on the forum anymore
Hmm, I notice waaay too much - must get out more :lame:

thank you woody.
it would be very nice to see you at the event too, if you are available?
cheers
James
Dave has asked if I would post the following for him......
Dave deleted his own acount a few weeks ago and does not wish to attend this event in person or with Turbulence But if you find it necassairy to contact him i believe his address is still davemoulds AT hotmail.com
Id love to attend more events......unfortunately the failing health of my wife prevents me.
why has dave left the forum?
do you have any pictures of the arena?
alex
James just to let you know that KX will not be ready for the event, Uni work has taken a big load on me at the moment with 2 major projects on the go, nearly didnt make it to Colchester... Sorry dude.
Mr Stu
Dave said to me that in general he cant be bothered with the forum. Because there are very few worth while topics. Not my opinion of course, the forum is needed to help people when the need it. And is how I got involved in the sport in the first place (well the old forum, back in the day).
Theres a few little rumours going round, but Dave removed his account on this forum due to circumstances that are only relevent to him. This wasnt under the influence of the FRA or any FRA users. He still regularly checks the forum for updates, events and some very useful information.
Booked in for the Wrexham Travelodge on Friday and Saturday night.
We were also gonna book in Wrexham but were too slow and missed the nice cheap Saver rate :lol:
Now booked in at the Chester Northop Hall Travelodge for Friday and Saturday
Regretable i can now not attend no transport, all the best with the running of the event
alex
Hi James
I also will have to scratch from your Event, I will have to be in Northampton on the weekend of the Event, Best of luck with the Event.
Dave.

cheers

Post on behalf of Team Mayhem,
We are interested in attending with two feathers.
I will forward the emails from JB to them asap, and advise.
cheers Ed,
please forward me their details, names etc, plus robot specs.
ive not recieved any emails about the private spinner melee. if anyone has spinners coming and would like to fight for a trophy/prize, post here or forever hold your peace. Well hold it after the main feather comp is finshed so you can enter both.
Wasnt there a LEM spinner out there looking for a fight? :)
(Message edited by jamesb on April 16, 2007)

dropping like flies.
ok kenny, cheers for letting me know.
Its looking bad over here.
Boss is nagging about the day off. Very likely I dont get it.
Hannibalito I is ready to rumble. Hannibalito II selfdestructed and needs a new ram-top and a new, and better gear for the drive.
The new ram-top is my thing, and will be done in time. But the gear is a problem.
hi james, well thor will be there. i would like to know were people are stopping on sat night so i can join them for a few beers and if you can send me all the details i need to know would be help full cheers, looking forward to it:)

john
We will probably only be there Sunday with Merlin and G3.
Ill be there on the Saturday, just need to work out what im doing Saturday night to see if ill be staying on sunday or not.
Mr Stu
I aint got any plans on backing out of this one - not when I can only manage 1-2 events a year and this is one of the closer venues as well :) (although Im dreading once this event is over cos then I know Ill have to get the head into the books if I dont wanna fail uni)
Three feathers will be there both days (provided they dont break down :lol:) - all passive robots but one day Ill get a weapon into one of them!
Just as well you posted there Stu - otherwise Id have probably forgotten about arranging to pick up the two Bosches and gone away without them :)
Dont worry, already at the back of my mind. I never forget anything. :)
Mr Stu
Jason....
