and not a scorch mark on it I bet :proud:

Just dont look up, you will get an eyefull. You will understand when you get there :)

Im intrigued but I hope its not a nest full of pigeons :wink:

Above us will be a number of different floors with a big drop. At the bottom (where i think we will be) was the cafe, until they moved it, Due to kids on all different floors seeing whos spit could land in the tea cup.

You are in Leicester dont forget :)

Yep, well bring along The Savage Toaster or Ka-Pow! to show. Ive been chatting to the organiser about this one for a while. Judging by the pictures Alan sent me today, theres a serious danger of the revised version of Ka-Pow! being complete by then. Ill see if I can stick a picture of the cool ram Alans made on my profile...

There we go, theres a nice big picture of a ram on there now! I shouldve mentioned that well probably only be up for the Sunday show, unless Alans able to go on the Saturday.

If I remember that the walls around that area are inflatable, made from 2 puffed up section of plastic laminate.... a dangerous place for anything spikey to be..

WOW! Vertical bouncy castle!

Karoline, not so much vertical bouncy castle... Think more padded cell!... Looks like Jonno finally found somewhere youll feel right at home!! :)

Of course but if you see me like this o-K| you will know that Ive mastered the art of defying gravity and Im completely out of my head. Then everyone will want a go.

(if you dont know what I mean just turn your head, the computer, your room, the world etc 90° anticlockwise)

Interesting, might have a gimick ;) for this event.
Just wondering how high is it from the top floor to the ground David?

This sounds good, I can probably bring Jalapeno in for static display and get some displays made up.

Whats the drill for robots just on display? Will there be any space to put up a few informational posters?

Yep tables for heavy weight dispalys and room to put up things such as posters. This is more of a feather weight play day in the arena, and heavy weight show and tell. Even a few heavy weight demos in the arena. We already have Kan-Opener lined up to do some crushing demos, other heavy weights welcome for the demos. (not to be crushed mind you unless your mad! hehe)

Mr Stu
