24th, 25th & 26th May 2008 - Robo Challenge

Yes thats right adrian. The reason is that in the past when someone has driven more than 1 robot in a competition they end up having to fight each other, which for 1 usually means they cant find a driver, and 2 the battles start to become planned to get their best robot through and gang up on others. In the past other organisers have said 1 robot per team, but then it means other robots can not enter. I.e, if LS signed up, LH and LF couldnt have entered.

[ady]

james, just a thought, as their are limited attendance, will their be a limit on how many robots a team can enter on sign ups?

[john]

will be a good event

should have 2 bots ready for this event

Adrian - There isnt a limit on the amount allowed to enter, but there is a fee per robot. With 40 spaces free there is plenty of room. If you dont think your robot will be ready intime then I suggest people wait untill they know it will be ready before signing up and paying an entry fee.
