The 2012 FRA UK Featherweight Championships Hosted by RoboChallenge!
Robo Challenge will be returning as one of the main features at this years Gadget Show Live! This years event promises to be bigger and better than ever before and with over 110,000 people visiting, it will be a spectacular opportunity to showcase robot combat.
Event type - This is a full combat championship held as part of the Robo Challenge feature at the Gadget Show Live .
Venue - The NEC in Birmingham.
Dates - The championships will be run from Friday 13th to Sunday 15th.
Robot entries - The championships are open to 40 robots.
Entry Fee - There is an entry fee of £20 per team. Your entry fee includes entry for up to 3 robots in the championships and passes to the Gadget Show Live for up to 4 team members.
Event Format - We will be running a similar format to last years Robo Challenge Championships whereby half of the competitors will qualify on Friday and half will qualify on Saturday. Every robot will be given 3 battles and awarded points for a win by knock out, a win, 2nd place and for entering the arena. On Sunday the top 10 teams with the most points will proceed through to the knockout stages where there will be multiple losers melees to get yourself back into the competition. This year your passes are valid for the entire duration of the Gadget Show live so although we need to keep only competing roboteers in the pits you are more than welcome to attend the event to watch the battles or visit the exhibition when you are not competing. As this is a large public exhibition the pits area will be located on our stand. Standard lightweight maintenance may be carried out here. If you need to do more heavy duty repairs we will be providing our €˜Repairs Zone€™ where angle grinding, hammering and soldering may be done in a safe environment whilst letting the public get a behind the scenes look at all your hard work. Roboteer information packs will be emailed out before the event. This contains all the important information so please take time to read it all.
Extra opportunities & non competition battles - Robo Challenge will be hosting a 2 day event a week before the championships. This is the perfect opportunity to have fun with your robot and give it a good shake down in preparation for the 2012 Championships. Details of this can be found here. There may also be a possibility for teams to do some testing during the week as part of the Robo Challenge €˜Tested to Destruction€™ live shows. If you are interested in demonstrating your robot before the championships start please tick yes in the sign up form. Please bear in mind these places are very limited, we will let you know before the event which robots will be demonstrating on which days.
To enter this event please submit your £20 entry fee and on completion you will be redirected to fill in your teams details. Please remember we will be operating a 1 robot per driver rule through out the competition. This event is run in accordance to the FRA build rules and event guidelines. To gain access to the event all roboteers MUST have an entry pass. Once your entry fee is paid please fill out the entry pass details for your team/vehicle as we will need these to create your passes. These will be distributed to you on arrival at the NEC.
Good luck and we look forward to what promises to be the best UK Championships ever! Can LF3 defend their title or will the spinners finally reign supreme?
