How about inviting anyone from The States, Europe and anywhere else, and call it.

I think it's about time that US roboteers got our independence back.

Hi guys,

I'm building a featherweight at the moment, and was looking to make this my first event. Is there any FW competition at Newport, or will it just be white boards? Or will there be no feathers at all?

Also, it's been about 10 years since my last featherweight event and I'm not to sure about entry. So is it just a case of sign up for FRA membership, sign up on the RobotWars site, and I'm done? Or is there anything else I have to get signed up for before the event?

Cheers,

Rhys

Guys,

Due to some behind the scenes logistical problems, clashing with some other projects we are working on we have taken the decision to move the event to the week following.

it will now take place on 20th / 21st July 2013.

if any roboteers have booked hotels already, send us your booking confirmation and we will see what we can do about it if you can't move your booking.

Rhys, when our new website goes live very soon you will just need to sig up to the event there.

That's a pity- we can't make that date...
Am I right in thinking this is the last RR event til october? I cant see anything on the contrary but that seems a bit weird...

We might be slotting in something special in August so you might get a chance, we've got a lot of opportunities coming up at the moment, not sure what's going to happen, doors are opening all over the place !!
