Hi Guys,

Well less than two weeks to go until the longest running event in Robot World continues for yet a another year€¦ the Robot Rumble !!!
This year is looking like its going to be yet another one to remember, with good robot numbers, and tickets selling fast, its all looking good !!
The Saturday night show has now sold out, and we have had to stop selling, and Sunday is getting busier each day.

We have now confirmed a few more things for the event.

Format

The event will feature a main competition which will run throughout the event leading us to finals for both heavyweight and featherweight. More info on that next week.

Judges

2008 will yet again see the return of our €œ celebrity €œ judge Rex Garratt, however will be partnered by Andy Kane this year, remember, the judges decision is final !! )

Trophies and Prizes

The Robot Rumble wouldn€™t be the same without the presence of some special trophies, and yet again we will be offering 2 fabulous trophies made by Rex himself. Unfortunately they wont be present at the event as they cant be finished as the dopy bloke has managed to half cut off his thumb with an angle grinder and is currently off work.
However they will be finished and sent on to our winners at a later date.

The event is once again being sponsored by Rapid Electronics, and we will be lucky enough to have the top chief from Rapid along for the last show to present the prizes to the winners plus lots of free goodies.

Each of the top three placed robots in both Heavyweight and Featherweight will receive an Easter Egg€¦. A certificate€¦and a 25 pound voucher to spend at Rapid.
Plus€¦ 1st prize - Big Tool Box 2nd prize - Trolley 3rd prize - Rechargeable Torch.

Think that€™s about it for now.
There will be a further update early next week with the final information.

Geoff Thorpe is certainly working hard behind the scenes to give us a good couple of days.

See you soon
John
