Just sent in my entry. This'll be my first event in a long while, can't make the Gadget Show event later on but this one fits nicely in with my holidays, look forward to it. (also James, check your PM's!)

Would've loved to have come for a nice relaxed event, but distance and the midweek date put paid to that :(
Hope it's a good one though. Could make the champs tougher with a lot of machines recently battle-tested, but bring it on!

Battle tested or just broken........

Isn't that the same thing?

exactly!

Its all ways good to give machines a good shake down before a big competition and it can be very useful for finding faults rather than finding out when your in the arena with LS4! Sign ups going well so far thank you very much guys!

At the bottom of that page, where it says Add to Cart

Beat me to it thank you Anttazz!

When you click add to cart you'll be redirected to pay via PayPal (you don't need an account, you can do a one off payment), once this is complete there will be a link asking if you want to return to RoboChallenge, click this and you'll be presented with your sign up form.

Hi there,I've paid and gone back to fill out form....I'm on a iPad and it won't let me fill the first box,all the others are fine but because I can't fill in that box I can't submit it.....any suggestions?
Thanks.

The formatting of the form didn't seem to display correctly in FireFox either, I think it's just buggy, you may have to use a computer.

i have changed one of my robots name will it still have to compete under its old name :?: B.B is changed to killa rage :mrgreen:

Thats no problem Pugster. Il change that for you.

James just want to check that I'm doing for this event and not the champs? Spoke to Grant about it but I want to make sure we are all singing from the same hymn sheet.

I'll probably have a wooden bot as well, a last minute build type thing but want to see if i can for the fun of it.

I will be going to this so I shall sign up soon. Same robot as for the champs.

Super! Get signed up.

Gary I got your message from grant so your all entered for fleet thank you!

My beetle weight is still not even finished it douse not even had the servos recover or battery or blade or on and off switch and armor doun yet

Right, signed up! Same robot and information as for the champs. Quick question though; the page reads thank you for entering the Robo Challenge 2012 Championships at The Gadget Show Live now that I have filled out the form. Just to confirm, that's not meant to be there, right?

Thanks, see you there!

Doh! I thought I had changed that, thank you for letting me know.

How many sign ups are there for this event James/Grant?

I'll get James to have a look abit later, but we would certainly like more! Remember this is an awesome opportunity for testing before GSL.

I would have gone if it were closer.

Hi Guys

I have just sent out the event details, if you havnt got them just let me know and I shall email you over a copy. If you need anything else at all just let me know. Trying to get Venom ready to go!

I haven't got an email through

I am free for this event and the days before it (if you need help setting up) but I didn't have the money to sign up, is it ok if I paid on the day ?

Is it camping again ?

Yes that would be great Dave :) il email you the details

What's everyone doing for accommodation?

We are all camping at the Half Way House. If you want to camp to just call them and let them know your part of the Robo Challenge group.

I'm staying in the travel lodge just under 2 miles away. I'll get pissed at the camp site and just get a taxi back to a nice comfy bed :)

We're traveling to the UK in our motorhome, could we park on said campsite?

Likewise then, I'm returning by train on Thursday so can't really be dealing with a tent. I'll happily split a taxi with the rest of you!

The Half Way House Hotel is pretty cushy from what I remember, and it's about five paces from the camp-site. Get drunk and then just stumble into a comfy bed :wink:

If anyone has any old tvs, printers or monitors etc please bring them along to smash! :)

I have a old big computer starter base thing I could bring to wreck :mrgreen:
