Sooo I got bored, and I did the math (plz don't judge), I think (this is a horribly complex probability equation) that 9 or 10 points should be enough to make round 2. Seems about right, means if you win all your fights by any means you're guaranteed through.

I am going to try and get the roboteers info out to you today. Please do take note of all pages as there are changes this year.
On another note Predator is almost fully upgraded and ready to go on the reserves in case someone pulls out
will they let us through if we park up and bring the bot through the main entrance without tickets or a pass
Highly unlikely.Originally Posted by plargen
Was just going to ask that. Will there be someone from RoboChallenge at both the loading door and main entrance on Thursday to give out passes? Or should we all head to Loading door 20.2 on Thursday?
Can we also park in any open car park and RoboChallenge will hand out parking passes at the EOD?
Glad to see you got such a mega sized area this year!
Here's the site map for everyone:

In previous years we've been in Hall 9 and parking in E1 was the best bet. This year is hard to say, the N car parks are normally over-flow/exhibitor parking, so we may have a long walk on our handsUnless we get loading passes but that in of itself is a hassle!
I'm sure all will be explained when the info pack is emailed out.
The infopack says "If possible we would recommend parking your car and bringing your parts through the main entrance to avoid you
having to get loading passes."
And also "Once unloaded all cars will need to be taken back to the main car parks. Last year there was congestion to get access to this loading door so if possible we advise parking in the car park and bringing your goods through the main entrance."
So bring your hiking boots! I tried a Google street view drive-by, which didn't help much as it doesn't cover the private roads.
They have that's why I asked
In that case - Grant / James I've not received an email.
You were on the list ed?
We always get a loading pass so we can drive right up o the door to unload however your feedback has suggested it's been easier to carry bits from the car park on trolleys but it's entirely up to you guys. Our contact numbers are on the info pack should you have any issues on the day. We normally get a call fom someone at an odd door so we then send somebody over with a pass to let them in.
Less than a week to go, I hope your all ready!
