UK Robotic Games
We are disappointed that the BBC will no longer be showing Technogames. It has left a number of schools and clubs without a focus for their many technology projects. As a group, a number of roboteers have decided to do something to improve the situation and give students and teachers the chance to take part in a new and exciting venture - UK Robotic Games.
The events will take place in the spring and summer of 2005. We are dedicated to this project and whilst is not dependant on TV coverage, naturally this aspect will be pursued. UK Robotic Games is not set up to make profits for the individuals involved. Any profits made will be used to support the schools during the build process, or used to make the events a more exciting and enjoyable experience for the schools. The games will also be open to individual as well as educational establishments.
The group will be seeking sponsorship from commerce, industry and government. The games will be open to individuals as well as educational establishments.
Further details can be found at http://www.ukroboticgames.orgwww.ukroboticgames.org
Wish us luck!
The group is: Ian Lockhart, John Findley, John Frizell, Paul Cooper, Stuart Barnwell and Ian Swann.

Try talking to these people. http://www.tep.org.uk/index2.htmlhttp://www.tep.org.uk/index2.html
They first got mentorn to do the first technogames and would probably help out again. You can mention to them that I suggested you contact them They send a newsletter out to every school in the land and your info could go in it. Im doing an article on robots for their Nov 2004 issue so Ill give you a mention/link if you want.

Nope - Nothing to do with me!
Sounds like a great idea, we had several projects planned for Technogames 04 so at least now well have somewhere to compete with them .... just not convinced about the name.
I hope it doesn€™t cause too much confusion wingdings>
