Roaming Robots, Preston 29th Feb 2004

Roaming Robots, Worcester 1st Feb 2004

Name: Still Undecided
Venue: A Sports Hall

Still is discussions, depends on roboteers interest as it is early in the calendar.
With the enfaces on a show format, rather than bash your opponents to pieces. Spaces may be limited depending on interest.
Lots of opportunity for people to demonstrate what their robots can do whether crushing a bean can, or flipping a washing machine. !!!! Aswell as the normal whiteboard format.

Start of the league for feather weights, plus a new heavyweight league run in the same way if there is enough interest.

Fuel Expenses will be paid for, lunch and tea and coffee also provided through out the day.
More info to come as and when.

If there€™s enough interest then it will go ahead, please contact me ASAP.

**Events swap in February.**

The Aberystwyth and Worcester event have now swapped place in the 2004 calendar

The Worcester one has also moved locations and will now be held in Preston.
I had a couple of choices over the location for this event, and decided it was about time we went north. Events have now been finalised, and consequently am now taking official applications for both.

.
Sunday 29th February
Preston Guild Hall Theatre

Details:

1st Show: times not confirmed
Lunch: times not confirmed
2nd Show: times not confirmed

Lunch will be provided along with tea and coffee throughout as usual.

Second round of the leagues

A friendly format with trophies awarded to the winners in each weight category.

All petrol expenses will be paid, for all weight classes attending this event, although only one car per team.

Please email me with the following information to confirm your place at this event.

Estimated petrol cost

This will give an estimation of the total travel cost; at the event there will be a form available to claim your expenses.

At a 1500 total sell out per show, if things go to plan, the arena may see a makrolon roof fitted for extra viewing.

More information will be available nearer the time.


Many Thanks

Jonno

Gman will be there
I will open the gate so that the southern bots can come up north get your passports ready :)

lol, very good depends how nice they are if we let em in :)

need your info to confirm.

Do what turkey do - charge them a £10 note to get past :)

Mr Stu

Hooray for events in the North West!

Put Bob (heavyweight) down provisionally - once I get the speed controller installed I will confirm but until then give the place to someone else if you run out of room.

Will Speak to rest of team but dont think we will miss this as we are 15 mins away. About time there was an event in the north. It does wind me up when people say events such as shefield are in the north when it takes us 2 hours of driving south to reach it.

well shall we call this event, the nipper challenge then ???

we need a name for it :)

Nah, no one will turn up cos they know who will win.

(Rip 1st, Nipper 2nd, Mute 3rd)
* thinking that one day we will beat Rip.*

Great stuff only half an hour for me aswell.

Englands newest city Preston.

How about Lancashire bot pot as a name:)

Like that Tom :)

Or Lancashire hot bot

Revolution 3 would love to attend - as long as Thor turns up and lets us settle a score - Had devious surprise in store for them at WITW but will unleash next chance.

i will make this event AIRs debut. Swanaldo and Air will be there please jonno. oh and you better put Thor down too as we are practially the same team now anyway and he will be there.

CHIP would like to attend this event. Please can you put us down. Thanks

will be there :)

Hi Jonno

Put Leveller down as well, Got to have something there to keep Lee busy.

Hi Johnno
Put Bulldog Breed down for this one probably the first event for this one will either be brilliant
or crap or may not even be finished!!!!

Der Boyz

Jonno, I will be there hopefully, with CBF (Feather).

We can now confirm that Serrano - a heavyweight flipper, previously known as Bob, will be there.

did we put our name down? anyway the usual robots will come:

G3/Oris (whatever david ends up calling it)
Alpha (should have the new one done for then)
Delta (hopefully its first show)
Merlin (the big boxy, heavy thing)

P.I.M.P.anought (feather)will be there along with a brand spanking new Thuggernought (feather) as long as neither of them die during testing

Joseph Townsend

Can you add us to the list please, one heavy & one feather.

can thor come and play pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!:)

I found this neat map of Preston which shows where the Guild Hall is.

You can see the block marked GUILD HALL in the samll box at the bottom labelled Section Detail. Its near the Bus Station and the Council Offices

thank you for doing my job mr lockhart aka jonnos secretary :)

Now for your next task !!!!!!.......

jonno

Id love to come guys but Ive got previous comitments for Tanto. Poor thing doesnt know it yet but its about to go on the Atkins Diet

someone told me its bad for you, does that mean its gonna break down???




...nothin new there then

I live in preston and would like to come to this, but I dont have a robot - is the format a big robots/roboteers in one place, audience in another thing? Or is it possible to get into the pits etc as a non-robot-carrier?

Id like to get into the whole live events thing but until now everythings been too far away for a trip sans-bot.

Hope to see some of you there.

OK having looked at the roamingrobots site it looks like if I join I get (me+2) in to this event free and wed also have access to pits, battle viewing area etc. Is that the case or have I misread something?

Cheers

-- Kev

as far as im aware, you have to have a robot to join RR. Normally the public can get up to the pits, but not in them (H&S). Normally you can talk to the roboteers, and look at the robots up close. Although as this event is in a theatre, the public access may not be possible. I dunno, jonno can probably fill you in.
