Is it being held in the arena or on the skate park this year? :lol:
I'm assuming they negotiated new terms and conditions regarding the use of the skate park :lol:
Too early to say for sure but might pop along again, it's not too far down the road.
EDIT: Tony beat me to it
You guys have plenty of notice, somebody really needs to represent Scotland this year! :kiss:
You could give us Merlin and we'll stick a few Scotland flags on it and compete with that? :proud:
Its already half way there as it is! :lol:
Merlin got a bit of a beating :cry: is it fixed Alan ?
Ahh thanks for the heads up Terry.
Alan, fix it first, then give us it :wink:
Its not too bad, just needs a wheel fixing, Thor will have to do better than that finish it off!
Might bring SMIDSY down if I can get it together and I have the time off work
Hi,
Just for anybody that didnt know the week after the UK champs our Graeme will be getting married so hopefully we are going to have a really good Saturday night the week before at Deeside. Hope he will still be able to drive Nipper Sunday morning but I have my doubts? :lol:
Hello Graeme...sorry Glynn...What your actually saying here is that there is a bit of a stag night goin on involving Graeme from the Big Niper team. I do have a couple of questions for you....
1... Are we invited...i.e. Me, Jason, Adam and Daniel Emmett.
2... Where is said Stagnight taking place??
3... Can we come to the wedding.
4... No we cant and i dont blame you.
5... I promise we will all be on our best behaviour. :)
Looking forward to the champs now all thats just been confirmed by myself. :)
Hi Swanny,
We were hoping that you could sort out the stag night. Perhaps we could all stop at the same place that you stayed last year, thats if they will let us after what happened last year and we can try and sup them dry of champers again. :rofl: :lol:
looking forward to it Glyn. We will sort something out no worries. :)
Better bring me phone then :rofl:
:uhoh:
Is this event going to be a normal knockout competition? I've noticed some EOs (RoboGames and I think RoboChallenge) do a double knockout tournament, which seems to me to be much fairer. Has this been considered for this event? I can see it might be more difficult for the audience to follow, but for the big UK Champs it might be worth considering?
We would like to, but it can't be done within the time that we have. Robogames and RoboChallenge both have 3+ days where they can basically run constantly. We have a maximum of 6hours of 'Showtime'.
I see, I did think that might be a problem... Would it be possible maybe to have bigger melees for the losers of each round? To speed it up (but still give losers a chance)?
Looser melees will depend on the number of entries, again the issue is time as some machines would have very little time to turn around between fights.
Okay, I see your points- just thought I'd put it out there :)
Any more news on the UK Champs Alan??
Busy with other things at the moment. Sign ups will go up soon along with the European Championship event.
Ok Cheers.

Seeds and format to be announced once we have an idea of numbers, once again we'll do the draw live on the internet via webcam a week before the event.
Where are you staying Alan, I think Shane is in the premier inn is that where the crew is were wé at somewhere else last year ?
We're here this year... http://www.premierinn.com/en/hotel/W...rral-two-mills
Sorted thanks.
Premier Inn now appears full, Travelodge only has double rooms left, and Holiday Inn want 70+ quid for anything. What is everyone else doing?
I would say the holiday inn will be full soon, the premier inn cost £66
So its not bad at £70.
We've gone for "Days Hotel", 69 quid, including breakfast and wifi. Google maps reckons 1.8mi from the leisure centre.
Booked in and also at the premier inn :)

Hey Guys
Just working out who is coming to this event with a beetleweight ? Currently we have 6, but for our first event we'd like to see more, so if you have a Beetle and you're attending, can you say so here ?
Definitely one, hopefully two from this end. And I'll be going home victorious 8)
EDIT: Also, before you post anymore posts Dave, you're currently sitting at 1,666. Sounds familiar ;)
Pretty much guarantee the one, hoping for another.
Any news of who has entered and when the draw will take place? Looking forward to finding out who I will forget to drive against this time.
The plan is to do the draw next Monday night, we'll do it live on the net again, so you have one week left to sign up; http://www.emailmeform.com/builder/f...BVD503bNebf7br
