Would you like to see a Proper UK live tour of major events as (Robot Wars Tour) did Featuring robots from all over competing for prize fund, and if so would you be prepared to help.This would be run by us for us,
Sounds good to me.
I dont think Ill be able to compete but I could help in other ways, running a website for example.
I think theres a lot of people who would like to see that happen John..
Touch wood, maybe now all the EOs are talking as part of the FRA we might be able to do something like it over time!
Itd be a huge task though.. and big resources would be required..
Was it a theoretical question or is this something you€™re considering working towards yourself?

If we have the demand for it then lets do it
My thoughts on this are
1 Full combat all classes
2 Regional heats
3 Final LONDON
4 Depending on numbers 5 regional heats 2000 SEATING two shows a day
Maybe 8 fights per show
5 House robots 6 top teams e.g. razer hypnodisk
chaos2 firestorm etc plus demos
6 Ticket sold by booking office UK wide
7 Arena new full size combat Battlebots style
without the nasty weapons Lets make the fights
Speak for themselves
8 Event promoted as (The Real Robots At War)
with Major UK Sponsor for the shows.
More ideas please fell free to add
Is this actually going to happen, if so then GREAT!
Cheers, Ewan
Yes i agree no major arena weapons because our robots are advancing so much these days we ( english ) dont need arena weapons to get in the way. The house robots do actually get in the way to does anyone agree with me so maybe and 2 house robots!
Very interested. Have you got any more substance to the event yet or are you still at the testing the water stage.
Looking forward to our meeting at Ironbridge.
I will be doing this if i can get the required help both with the organising and support of you roboteers This is a huge undertaking and will require considarable work I have set aside my full time work for 6 months for this As a engineer to trade i will be building the arena and constructing the necessary props for this tour, help with contracting venues and ticket sales etc etc will be required. Plus of course the organising of the roboteers into regional events. Staff that can either work their local events or help with all the events will be required.
The name of the game is if want it to happen then your assistance can be used.
If you feel you can be of assistance and want to make this happen then post a reply or send me a E mail.
Hell yes John :)
I will ring you as promised one of these days honest.. Ive been a bit hectic and havent gotton round to it yet.
You can certainly put me down as one of the people willing to help though.

go John....
You would need to create a real show John first class lighting/sound involve the audience a little
inbetween bouts ,technology shows like Dave Gambles Tesla coil show but incorporate the Robots like pulling a landrover/flipping a Car
you know !!!!!!!the score,whatever sells tickets.
Tony come on get involved and make it happen

John,
What sort of time frame are we looking at here?
If its more towards 2nd Qtr 2004 I would very much like to assist and help.
As for arena hazards, I think a couple would be a good idea but only activated either by time or by an opponent. One thing I have noticed watching crowd reactions a static pushing and jabbing match does not go down too well, a couple of hazards may spark more crowd excitement & enjoyment.

I have taken part in loads of melees, but not one where rwo wanabees have ever taken on a known
machine --could be interesting ie a young guns event!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds like an interesting idea Tony..
The only way a tour like this would work is for all the separate EOs to pull together and do it between them, Im not sure if anyone else has noticed but next years live event calendar is somewhat full already.. and if a load more events were to be dropped in as regional stuff.. there might well be a big problem with dates clashing!
Ive spoken to John, and Black Top Productions Ltd are definitely interested in having a go at this.. how about you others?

Lets do a trial one at Enginuity with the format we would use for real, F.R.A would have to be involved right from the off to organise/coordinate
and ensure safety,what do you guys all think,
Oh flower of Scotland when will we see your like again!!!!!!!!good on ya john!!!
Der Boyz
I think it would be a crowd please to have some really mismatched looking fights..... say a newblood heavy against a featherweight.
Ive 2 feathers in mind for this, who could well win. The crowd would love that! You can see them at Enginuity.
ill fight one of ur feathers James,...
just one? oh go on, take on 2 at once!
whats your heavy like Chris O?
SHREDDER EVO James
ok, Just the one then!
:)
no problemo :)
where would the funding come from for such a venture
yeah, whos gonna pay me for taking on Shredder Evo?
good question Lee
How about the roboteers?
Community resource.. community funded!

Small is beutiful especially in Robotwars,add
education/learning and you have what no one else has, it sells educate at the same rate as we roboteers improve,and you have a continually new product ,!!!!!!!!!!
cant say Im too upset by that Sam, :)
(phew!)
shame though, would have been interesting to see shredder picking on a feather, and not killing it.
Just for u james we will run the discs backwards...
