Hmm, only 4 hours drive. We could do with adding an event to our 2007 calendar, but will have to check with the team first. Would we have to be FRA registered to attend?

yes, all teams must be paid up members of the FRA, but there are no entry fees, and you have no club joining fee with entering Xbotz associated events.

could you provide some more info James?

like the postcode?

How do i go about entering?

thanks alex

I got the postcode to be CH7 1EP when I looked it up in Google, dunno if thats right, but the general area seemed to be correct.

Still working out if we can make this one - I hope so

The sign up proceedure is really simple.
Post on this thread that you would like to come, and let me know in that posting what your robot is called, its weight, and its weapon.

Please remember that I am aiming for a class 3 event, which means NO SPINNERS, feather or heavy. This means the feather competition may be a little different to normal, as nobody needs to worry about those nasty little fellas (scorp jr, little spinner, dizzy tilly etc) so bin bags are not needed Of course, on the serious side, this means cadet class machines can enter the main competition without too much worry.

Ill check the postcode, but the sports centre is right by mold industrial estate, so CH7 1EP looks right.

Big Nipper,101.9KG, 8 wheel drive lifter/crusher.
Little Hitter 2, 12.0KG, C02 Axe.

Team T.M.T.

I assume that no spinners means no active weapons for robots with spinning disks/drums etc.

Probably attend with Turbulence (currently 101.25KG - LP CO2 Flipper) and DB5 12KG+a bit spinning Drum)

I may be able to come but ill have to check with the taxi service first (my parents) before i can give a definte answer. i may be bringing two, if i get it made by then but ill see.

thanks alex

[jamesb]

yes Ed, it means robots armed with spinning weapons can enter, but will not be able to use the spinner.

Thanks guys, I have you on the list so you will recieve email updates in addition to the info posted here
