Dutch Robotgames @ Antwerp Belgium - 28th April

[Jeroenl]

On the 28th of April Dutch Robot Games will host an event in Antwerp Belgium.

The Antwerp Sci-fi, Fantasy and Horror convention is a gathering of fans and creators of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror, including literature, movies, games, and other media.

After the success of 2012 we are invited a second time for full contact combat between Feather, Raptors and ant robots.

Heavyweight robots are welcome for demo purposes.

It is a 1 day event, not far from Calais
We will set up our 2F arena capable of holding all Feathers.

Registration via http://www.robotgames.nl

very tempted to come to this, although its the same weekend as burgess hill.

Can you tell us what heavy demos would consist of? A lot more appealing to bring a heavyweight !!

Likewise would love to support you guys, but sadly we're committed to the Robots Live event in Burgess Hill

Was frustrated not to get over to your last event with Storm Vortex which was all ready for an outing !

If we decide Burgess Hill is too separate (date-wise) from the other events we go to on our next trip, we could take this one in on our way back down to Spain.

April is going to be a seriously busy month for this community!

Unfortunately, DRG itself does not determine the date of this event, we mostly participate in existing events.

Heavyweight demos are a robot in the arena which shows its power, possibly do some flips on its own, and scremec.

TAN for example demolished a computer and a pallet in Vilvoorde.
Tsunami make some test flips.

The Arena is not big enough for 2 heavyweight to have a combat safely. Some time's we do a non weapon demo combat.

But heavyweight demos are a good start of a new round, they make a lot of noise, people hear it and come over the the arena. For some of us its a good time to safely test a weapon. *(flipper, axe, crushers )

We are committed to Burgess Hill event I am afraid.
