I know there's still tomorrow and Thursday for info being published, but any word from anyone who's been at the NEC today regarding arrival procedure? Last year we had to go up to some car park in the middle of nowhere to get a pass to get through the barrier at the gate nearest the hall to be able to unload. Just wondering if it's a similar story this year and, if so, what car parks are the relevant ones?

On a side note, both our bots are combat ready and just require a final bit of paintwork. I even had time today to clean and prep my spare drill motors and other bits and pieces. I like being this prepared

EDIT: On another side note, got combat robots and the Gadget Show Live mentioned in a shout out on the radio this morning. Although with it being a small local station, it probably won't have served much purpose. But the DJ said she thought it sounded pretty cool :P

I don't know, but the NEC is always like that for exhibitors, you normally go the car park 12 to get a loading pass for hall 9 (where i had to go on Sunday).

Flows going to the champs un tested so hopefully be able to get it in the arena friday just to arm it up and get a test flip on low pressure. I dont know if the system is even air tight yet. Could do with a WB just to know if it can flip the weight of a featherweight on low pressure. Its got about a 99% chance of failure so it could be quite fun.

[PJ-27]

Has there been an official run down of how the event will run?

I can't remember what happens to the robots that qualify, plus there are a lot of new people this year.
