I had forgotten there was a spot available, if you can take it, I always would recommend going to the champs.

Our second event ever was the 2012 champs, our first ever last year's event in Yeovil, both damaging events. There is no doubt in my mind that we learned 5 times more as a result than if we had gone to the FW rumbles at HW events. Our first robot did get mullered by the later crowned '12 champ, but that's part of the fun. If your robot does get badly damaged then it shows you a clear cut direction to take your second machine, and the leap in effectiveness between mk1 and mk2 will be huge!

The feeling after your treasure gets mashed isn't at all one of despair, it's weirdly enjoyable.
