major update over the weekend.
formal signup emails going out for those interested to confirm attendance.
Accommodation and location info.
Announcement of arena status and spinner situation.

hi guys
the email has not yet gone out
it will be out sunday night or sooner.
We have been mega busy, so things like roboteer updates are a lttle behind schedule, sorry for the delay.

ah..... the best laid plans.
All are to be put out on saturday, my first day off in a long, long time.... assuming nothing else goes wrong.

again, sorry for the delays and thank for your patience.

ok guys, the updates are ready for sending, could I have any robots missed from this list that wish to attend, please make themselves known. the update will be sent tonight, so if you have not recieved it by Sunday morning, get straight back on here and let me know.

I am waiting on replies from Marco and Geoff, amongst others, on non related emails sent out last week, so I may have a problem with my email again. Cofirmation of receipt is geatly appreciated, and if Marco/Geoff or anyone waiting on emails could confirm if you have/have not recieved mail from me in the last 7 days?

If you are on the list and cannot make it, or should be/want to be on the list, please email me. If you are bringing more/less robots than those listed, email me. Any questions... you guessed it, email me.

Quick public update..... (this is also in the emails.)

This is planned as a grade 3 event (subject to official grading) so
+1>NO SPINNERS

feather of otherwise... sorry guys, but for a first event, it is the only sensible option.

(if you wish to have spinner battles/testing, it is ok to do this during a roboteer only session by prior arrangement, please let me know in advance via email, and if 5 or more spinners agree to a spinner only fight, Ill put a prize on. This would be a private session without any uneccessary people present, and outside of the main event.)

Rules specific to this event reminder.....

Teathers, it is a net roof, so if you should have them... make sure you have them.

Bottle heating, is not allowed, either by electric heaters or warm water. If you wish to cuddle your bottles I may allow it, but otherwise lets keep those bottles at room temp or below please.

Lithium batteries, with the exception of the 2 heavyweights currently running trials on this technology, no robot is to enter the event hall with lithium based batteries. This includes feathers and raptors. If this means you cannot make the weight with nicad or nimh replacements, you are welcome to move up a class in weight.

Accomodation, travelodge.co.uk and premierinn.co.uk have places in wrexham and chester, both within 12 miles of the event. Holiday in has 2 hotels in chester which are quite close, and http://www.stayinwales.co.ukwww.stayinwales.co.uk has a good list of B&Bs in mold and wrexham.
I have also noticed a very good rate at the wynstay arms hotel in wrexham, which may be worth a try on 01978 291010

Prizes are still to be confirmed, but we have at least £250 in the pot, plus trophies. Catagories will be announced on the day.

Saturday will be mostly warm-ups and whiteboards, with the main competition taking place on the Sunday, and maybe last show Saturday, depending on numbers.

More entries are welcome, and remeber, email me with any issues/questions/alterations/signups/withdrawals
}NO SPINNERS

feather of otherwise... sorry guys, but for a first eve

Probably gonna book a room online at the Wrexham Travelodge later on tonight - current plans are for travelling down on the Friday afternoon/early evening (might follow recommendations to take a break in Chester to admire the place )

Geoff Smith
Mr Stu
Dave Moulds

Just Confirming I cant come due to exams and robot not finished

Looking back over posts in this thread:

Geoffs profile has a new err, location I think is the best word, when his status changed to Refbot - check a recent post of his to get an active profile.

Stus status was set to Refbot on his post in this thread - dunno if thats changed now

Dave doesnt post on the forum anymore

Hmm, I notice waaay too much - must get out more
