Thanks for the replies all - I can feel myself becoming more knowledgable by the minute

Oh yeah... and build a robot !

Hehe in progress. Im just torn at the mo whether to build a cheaper FBH or spinner type or whether to wait until I can get hold of the pneumatic bits to make a flipper. Im trying to think of unique (or at least different) weapons but it may end up being more aesthetically pleasing than successful in combat or maybe neither

Im just particularly interested in the Preston event with it being in my home town. Maybe I could throw something (quick prototype of one of my many random ideas) together out of plywood or something..... Have to have a think. Then again I dont even have radio gear at the mo :sad:

So if I join - would I get (me and the missus) in free as spectators or does the free entry only apply to attending teams?

Incidentally - if any of you jonny southerners () need or want to know anything about preston, facilities, hotels, car/bus routes etc drop me a line and if I dont know I can probably find out. Ditto anyone coming without a bot who wants free parking for the day - there are a few places in the town centre assuming you get there early enough. Mail kevdgill(at)hotmail.com.
