John were those prices return or one way? A quick look over the net is from £700 for flights and hotel for about a weeks stay, plus the shipping of the robot.

Jeroen,

Even though there isnt a pit, there is a dead zone around the edges of the arena. If you can lift/flip the other robot over the railing its an automatic win.

I hope you can make it to RG - it would be great to see TAN again!

[robotwars]

is RG joining forces with battle bots, or are they seperate ?

Do they affect each other?

Just curious

John

[john]

2 seperate things

i think its like robot wars coming back and having there dates so close to the uk champs so i cant see them being happy

i think anyway from what iv seen on rfl forum

R.G. and Battlebots ... Have .. as far as I know ... nothing to do with each other.

The dates do seem to conflict ... I suspect that R.G. will suffer if the Battlebots thing happens.

[robotwars]

well i hope that the robot world over there dont turn their back on RG !!!

JOhn

That point was made by one poster on the RFL Forum.
But I suspect that he may get reduced big bot attendance with the return of lights cameras ...ACTIVATE!.

id say RG has more media coverage then battlebots at the moment - i remember them being on BBC last year and i guess they might be this year aswel

with battlebot pros not on tv atm aswel could help RG but sounds like BB have more contacts , think all the good bots will be at both

hope i can go lol

Hi Wendy, it is good to hear from you again. Unfortunatly TAN cant lift or flip anything. All it can do is try to grab the other one and hold on to it. So this is the point where you say i need to build a new robot. But instead of now spending the money on shipping my robot, i want to make it a 2 week holiday, to watch the event. To prepare myself for next year.

Btw, where would that BB event be?

We would like to film this competition in the San Francisco Bay Area as soon a June 2008
