Ive often found, in my short but reasonably live event (not necessarily of the robotic variety) filled life, that the camaraderie, temawork, and general desire to put on a good show is much better. Its not so much the organisers having to look after roboteers and audience, as it is at larger events, as it is the roboteers and organisers being as one and putting on a show for the audience. Thats not to say the roboteers dont help at bigger events, but its much easier at smaller ones :-)

Anway, sounds like a great event- have heard great reports from all involved- would have liked to have come but its a bit far to go from the south coast without a robot :-)
