17-19th Feb 2006 RR At Brighton Model World

The robots are back once again€¦ but this year with a difference.
Using the educational theme, linked with UK Robotic Games.

We challenge the Robot Wars Feather Weights, and the UKRG champions to take on some of the UKRG Challenges.

Both the 5m x 5m arena, and the Running Track will be used, therefore Games including the Assault Course, Sumo, Relay Race and many more will test the robots in a different way other than the usual smash and crash.

An interesting new concept, which should provide an interesting result. How long will it be before the robots break all the rules, and start fighting I wonder ???

More info to Follow.

Put me down for the 19th, are u having heavyweights on display? will bring a new toy for the feathers

How long will it be before the robots break all the rules, and start fighting I wonder ???

John, that was cruel...Would we ever be involved in such a flagrant breech of the rules? :wink:




(Damn right we would given half a chance! :proud:)

That said, It sounds like this could be an interesting event!

Id love an opportunity to come and play with a feather.. ooh er
Rob

team thorak are up for it. will the boxer be required???

Team Major Tom will be up for this with New Featherwieght Zero!

(Might eventually get it done by then!)

yes boxer would be great.

And a number of heavies on display would be good, but not too many though.

More info as an when, maybe we can come up with a few new challenges !!

JOhn

Hopefully the new mini-Kronic (Weed) will be done by then. If it is we would love to come along as Brighton is always a good event.

ive just got one of the fliers for modelworld and they dont seem to be making a big thing about advertising the fighting robots this year, there is no mention of it in any context at all.

can bring swat-v along for display (its not a fighting bot) something a little different perhaps?
James

ps. what is access like - last year I had to park a long way away...
James

Ive got a meeting next week with them about it.... they cant make their minds up at the moment as to what exactly they want.

keep you posted.

Hi Guys, well I have met Tim down in Brighton and have nailed down details for the 2006 show.

Teams who have expressed an interest have been contacted, to confirm.
Due to the new revised format of this show, this being the first year, we have a limited number of places.

If you do want to attend, then let me know, and you will a) be put on a reserve list as a couple of teams haven€™t confirmed as yet, but b) we may be able to find space for you, you may just not be eligible for a hotel / fuel allowance.

No promises but I will always try and fit you in..

More information will be posted on the website over the next few weeks and after christmas.

James, my experience of Model World and of Brighton in particular, the arrangements will be the same as always:
Loading/unloading in Russell Road (at the loading bay at the back of the Centre)
Free exhibitor parking at the Park and Ride - by the look of it further away at the Racecourse

guys,

This time it will be different, they are running a park and ride service from the Race course.

They have taken a gamble, and made an investment into this service, more busses, more regular, and can make use of the bus lanes.

They are offering this to public aswell at a cost.

So it will be the same as normal, just the bus leaves from a different place.

More specific details will be sent nearer the time but by the sounds of it, should be better.

James

pete , my e-mailadress is ; info@vizbiz.be

Mr Stu , thanx for having your bed , wise decision of you , I snore like Hell !

Not a problem Marco. Glad you got home safely. I had fun staying in Scoprions room with the Red Wine and then after in the Lales room, with scary Pete. :). Have fun with your new robot.

Had fun at Brighton, love events like that to test ya feather weights. At last KR3 (SP2) running reliable now, just needs tinkering.

First time, my car broke down on way home. Well say broke down, light started flashing on dash board and i felt something weird, so pulled over, RAC came in 15 mins, hooked a laptop up to my car and said it coughed but all is fine, turned the light off and off i went. LOL. The weather was really bad though on M25. But oh well all cool now.

Cool event, very enjoyable, nice and relaxed.

Mr Stu

Yeah, good event, nice and relaxed as Stu said. Thanks Stu for helping with the gyro on Secret Weapon. Thanks to for putting on a good show especially considering the frequency probs, hope that truck is ok!

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SHHHHHhhh Ed!!! You trying to get me in trouble! LOL!

No probs about the gyro dude.

Mr Stu

lol we did wonder what caused that pile up :)

as long as his insurance is fully comp, and not 3rd party :)

Nice relaxed event, thanks to the roboteers, and we will need to come up with something to beat our football champions.

Oh, and im sure the cars will be back, better than ever next year... see profile pic.

Event report on the website soon.
