Hi, this might be a daft question but I wondered if there will be any featherweights at this event?
Or if it will be heavyweight only?
No, featherweights traditionally at least one fight a Robot Wars show. Except at heavyweight championships, where the feathers are obliged to give up their fight time for any over run.
I notice that the featherweights seem to be getting less and less at the events and wondered if it's going to be Robo Challenge only that the feathers are at soon?
Speaking as a predominantly heavyweight team I would hope not. I think it is just the way a couple of shows have worked out, because of time constraints.
These shows have been publicised as heavyweight competition shows, I can't speak for the EOs but I doubt if they are going to change things that much permanently.
My advice "don't panic"
Ok so I'm ok to carry on building my naff non-spinner-proof robot lol.
We generally do 2 fights per show for feather weights.
Apart from the UK champs where we are doing 1 fight per show but allowing extra arena time for you.
It's a hard balance !! :-)
Ok thank you for the reply, how would I go about signing up for this?

Has anyone booked hotel rooms yet?
I've signed up to this, do we have to be there dead early in the morning etc?
£84 to stay in some holiday express place!!!! Doncaster!!!! I booked a room at the Carabian guest house. still £50 but can't believe the prices.
were are people eating Saturday night???
We wont be eating as we aren't getting into the venue until 730pm, going to be a late one !
But I'm sure Clive will be in touch ! :-)
thanks John that is a late start it will be a tiring weekend. hope ticket sales are going ok.
Just a note to say A big thanks to John and all the Robot Wars crew for another very enjoyable weekend. lots of fun. loads of room in the pits and looked like a full house for both shows.
All the robots seemed to work very well only Craig and Chris having problems with Tanto. I think all the other Heavies survived with no major problems.
So good to see everyone looking forward to the next one.
Thanks Craig,
And thank you to the crew and to all who attended.
Two pretty much sold out and fantastic shows once again.
One last event for 2013 left, on what has been a long and fantastic tour !
Who will become our 2013 Winter Tour champion ?
