We are disappointed that the BBC will no longer be showing Technogames. It has left a number of schools and clubs without a focus for their many technology projects. As a group, a number of roboteers have decided to do something to improve the situation and give students and teachers the chance to take part in a new and exciting venture - UK Robotic Games.
The events will take place in the spring and summer of 2005. We are dedicated to this project and whilst is not dependant on TV coverage, naturally this aspect will be pursued. UK Robotic Games is not set up to make profits for the individuals involved. Any profits made will be used to support the schools during the build process, or used to make the events a more exciting and enjoyable experience for the schools. The games will also be open to individual as well as educational establishments.
The group will be seeking sponsorship from commerce, industry and government. The games will be open to individuals as well as educational establishments.

Wish us luck!
The group is: Ian Lockhart, John Findley, John Frizell, Paul Cooper, Stuart Barnwell and Ian Swann.
