26th/27th March 2005 Debenham Robot Rumble

Hi Guys,

I dont know if anyone is still looking into this area of comment, but I expect someone will pick up what I say and good news travels fast! The Easter Robot Rumble is already rising from the ashes. We are in the final stages of sorting out arrangements with Geoff (the Rumble commentator) and Dave (the man who provides all the lighting and audio) for them to take responsibility for the Arena etc and to run next years Rumble with a bit of help from Roy and I, to ensure continuity of quality. After all the nice things you guys have said, it mustnt be allowed to die and now it wont. So note the Easter Robot Rumble on Easter Saturday and Sunday 2005. Actual dates for Easter 2005 are not yet published (they are different every year. I know that Geoff & Dave want to team up with Jonno and Roaming Robots again to ensure the event draws the same praise as it has done in the past. It will probably move down the road about ten miles to Ipswich. There is a much bigger population there to ensure audience sizes and Geoff has particular links with a High School that has a Sports Hall about twice as big as Debenham (Square instead of Rectangular). Making more room for audiences and Pits. Obviously details are not being published about the event until later this year, but the date is sound. Roy and I look forward then to meeting up again at Easter 2005 with all our Roboteer friends and hopefully with plenty of time to chat. More info in due course.

great news, well be there.

Yes its one event that weve always attended so again great news.

Hi guys,

One of my calendars says that Good Friday 2005 will be on 25th March and Easter Monday on 28th March, so, if true, the Rumble will be on Saturday/Sunday 26th/27th March 2005. Dont rely on those dates too much yet though, as they could be different. When I get some sort of reliable confirmation, I will post.

Eddy.

The new Kronic would love to attend this. Stick us down please. Thanks

Dave

I am now pretty sure the Easter dates for 2005 are as posted on this posting area on May 8th, namely: Easter Robot Rumble 2005 - Saturday/Sunday 26th/27th March 2005. Should be safe to enter them in diaries.

Eddy.

Great news. Good luck with the event next year guys.

Hi John

Is that new bot ready yet? and will the team still have the suits of armour and the feather duster?

Tom

Hi Tom,

Not yet Im afraid! Hopefully though, itll get finished this year and Debenham will be the perfect event to aim at. As for the team regalia, well, why not?

John

Rob has changed my plans, he wants to run existing Bulldog at Debs, But if spinners are running

To all roboters including our Dutch friends.

The Easter Robot Rumble 2005 is at Debenham leisure centre on Sat 26th March (shows at 2pm & 7pm) and Sunday 27th March (shows 11am & 3pm)

My name is Geoff Thorpe, and I have taken over the Debenham Easter Robot Rumble. Most of you will remember me as the guy dressed in black and who tried to do the commentary.

Jonno is taking roboteer applications at http://www.roamingrobots.co.ukwww.roamingrobots.co.uk
(see his post above)

To our Dutch friends, we will be pleased to see you so please sign up.

Jonno is organising the bouts and who will fight who.

I will pay for a family room (Sat night only) at the Travel Lodges at Stowmarket or Beaconhill. I will also pay for your Sat evening meal.

Hope to see friends old and new. So come and have a laugh.

Regards Geoff Thorpe

Whe have already signed up and recieved some information from Jonno. Im looking forward to see all the people again. Its been 2 years since the last time i visited Debenham Easter fights. Thank you for the Travelodge and evening meal.

I noticed last week that it will be half a year since the last time i drove my robot. Whe have been saving weight, cos it has been rusting away.

So lemme get this straight...heavyweight spinners are allowed to fight in this?

Yep, thats about the strength of it:proud:
Although not in the main comp.:sad:
