Hi Colin, thought you made some great points in your post. As you have mentioned there are many live events, some of which I shall be attending as a competitor (see ya there). As for an arena, I am sure there are enough roboteers to spread the costs, as long as the location was central for all with ease for travel. As I have mentioned earlier, I would love to help out and am sure many others would too. This could be a national club which could develop into the continent competitions / championships and so on. If run correctly I feel the opportunities would be very rewarding for all including the spectators.
