Live display and possible running event?

[mattsdragons]

my local school has approached me about doing a live display for primary school children to get them interested in science (their words) and say that if i had the correct insurances etc that they would love to have me yet im not too sure what is needed etc, if anything for a static display and just a little drive around the playground?

any ideas as they would be thinking of doing this during the spring/summer term and have asked me to get back to them asap

For a static display I doubt you'd need any insurance (as long as there are no sharp edges), for a live display, it would probably depend on what type of bots you're running, what weapons, and the area that it would take place in. If it's just a small drive around the playground, keeping everything a safe distance away, I don't think it would be too much of a problem. Just guessing here really, but insurance is a risky area, you need to make sure everything is correct otherwise it can have quite bad consequences.

exactly my point, i want to be sure that im not going ot get in any trouble if i did go and do this

they only asked me really as im local (the school is down the road) but i just wanted to clarify before i did/said anything

i dont mind coming along if u need help but for all th esafty i would make a arena like iron fence wer ethe people stand behind and thne netting infront of that and maybe some policarbe housing of some sort

at the secondary school there is a large tarmac area with a ball couren next too it that has a very lage mesh fence which may be suitable

If they've asked for insurance, you'll need it, which will be hundreds ££. You will also need all the paper work such as risk assessments. You have to be careful when running them around without arenas, done it many times for display/demo, just dont start fighting, as thats a different ball game. Check out the FRA event guidlines.

I'll have to look into it further as just a bit of driving about would be fine and a little demo of the weapons etc just firing them, but not at other bots

What bots and weight classes are you using?
