Not made the cut for this years event :sad: Good luck to all of those lucky enough to have been selected.Hope you all have fun and enjoy the Liffey Water :wink: On the brighter side we are at least on standby so if any of you were to over indulge over the festive season and can't be bothered to get your bots ready, don't worry we can fill your boots

Everyone should have their emails by now. Sorry we couldn't bring more.

Looking forward to a great event this year.

[swanaldo]

out of interest are there any different robots going this year that didnt go last year??? seems the same robots go every year. which made the applications pretty pointless.

and yes i did want to go and yes i am bitter. :sad:

Will teach us not to destroy robots and arena floors i guess. :twisted: :twisted:

Only heavyweights and mechs/boxers required i.e. no featherweights. As always, priority will be given to teams with multiple bots.
Pete

what are mechs/boxers?

[mattsdragons]

mechs are humanoid bots

boxers are... well... humanoid boxer bots

so i believe, probably a different definition though

Videos required, couldn't be there, too far
Maybe next year.

EDIT: Who is Double Action?

[liambryant]

Congrats Jonno!

And to answer your question, Double Action was Jonno's new robot which is armed with a flipping arm/axe I believe. If your going to Barnsley, you'll see it I'm sure.
