23rd/24th September 2006 - XFM at the National Space Center

On September 23rd/24th the robots arrive at the National Space Centre. Last year it was a RR event, and following discussion with RR this year its XFM thats providing the entertainment.

The weekend will have the XFM arena and we will be running friendly competitions with a prize fund alongside some slightly more serious educational content as well as some heavyweight demonstrations.

In order to help teams out at much as possible XFM will be providing some accomodation (first come first served) and of course a prize fund on the day.

More details coming soon - and well let you know when registration is open for roboteers.

Will be there on Sunday and hopefully saturday as well, will have to avoid Doncaster in the Winter Tour.

unfortunatly, i think it is fairly safe to say that i will not be able to attend this event, although i may be able to send robots ahead without me.

the reason for having to miss what i am sure will be a fantastic competition is, my best creation to date is due to be finished around this time, see my profile pic for a work in progress photo taken today.

WOW! Havnt scans come a long way in the 7 years since I had mine done with David.

I can actually see a resemblance already James :) - all the best to you and Rachel.

Give my regards to Malika whilst you are there!

TTFN

Jon.

Oh yes, a flat floor Im hoping? :)

You said back in Feburary this event will be made up of friendly competitions and educational stuff. What will this then mean? Cadets mainly?

What are the numbers like atm? Well need to make up for the lack of the Dragon crew somehow.

Sadly it just so happens that the for first xfm event you offer accomodation, I dont need it :sad:

Thanks :)

The focus will be on Cadet Class Ewan which i believe your robot complies with ?

Theres no need to make up for the Dragon Crew - theyve signed up to the event.

Currently we have 15 Feathers signed up for the event.

And yes, youll have the flat high-traction floor that everyone liked so much earlier in the year :)

Unless something has changed in the last week Tony was on the way to hanging up his spanner after a forth or so successive before-bout arena breakdown (depressing stuff for sure) at the champs. He told me to tell you this so far as I can recall, so this may help explain his apparent forum inactivity this week (?).

You may have to make up for 2-3 or whatever be signed up Dragon bots for this and the next event Ed unless there is a change.

Good to hear about the floor, and yes, ill take the ti off then.
