a fully contained class 2 arena will be unveiled to
provide the setting for the 2006 UK Championship.

Ok Guys,

Sorry for the lack of responce from me on this subject, currently i am working on this years diary, getting the events planned through the year, then i will be able to concentrate on this.I Have been reading it though.

The above information is the most up to date as yet.

I am working on this event behind the scenes,
however i dont have much to report back as yet.

So far we have the date fixed, Bank Holiday weekend august, and a couple of venues in the pipeline.

I am working on the arena upgrades - Polycarb and new roof structure design.

However, it is likely that this years championships may take a different form, and not only be about fighting.

Weve all talked about whats next, and what should be done to improve things etc etc....
And there are lots of ideas floating around.

Will keep you posted, however feel free to add any comments or suggestions.

Another question to think about....

WHAT IF....I was to bring the UK champs arena out before august, say for example Worcester.
What IF....I was to make all my events full combat?


Who would be willing to fight anyone?

The arena will need testing, the only way to test it, is to try it.

Will there be a battle forfeit button for each roboteer as on our amercan cousins full combat arenas?

I dont think theres anything out there thatll pack more of a punch than 50Kg of Typhoon at the moment, and weve dealt with that particular weakness of Storm II so I dont think wed have an issue with bouncing anyone in the walls for you - well stick the 1/2 Ti on the sides and away we go :)

Heavyweight version of litter spinner :)

litter spinner?
how appropriate :)

Jonno,
I dont think Full combat all year round would be a good idea. Featherweights are easyer to repair when theyve fought a spinner. To fix a heavyweight in time for the next event a month later is alot more work. Also it will mean the working life of a robot would be cut very short compaired to what it is atm...So people wont be able to attend your events as often as they do atm as they will be to busy repairing from there last encouter with a massive hammer or a supper spinner. One or two Full combat shows a year, i would of thought, is enough.

It is when it flys apart:)

What does atm mean please ?
