Liam who told you that? This event is the Featherweight chmpionship I was going to run back in August September. This event is only a championship for feathers it doesnt mean other weights wont be there.

The arena is being erected for inspection on the 27th December (still not heard back from the FRA about there attendence) Robots cannot fight in the arena until its been inspected feathers or heavies

Actually Craig I got the impression that it was only feathers from your post announcing it.

Quite pleased theres other weights there. Whats the format for them?

Demo mainly white board style fights to fill time not running a competition for heavies and middles and will only be taking a limited number of robots for that

[craig_anto]

let me claify

This event is the Rebel Robots Featherweight championship, its being recorded infront of a live audience,
There will be some time for a set of demo fights from heavyweights and or middleweights but these will not be recorded as a championship theyre demonstrational only

Later this year Ill run an Antweight competition and later a heavyweight/middle event, Ill run no more than 3 events and the main focus will change from event to event from one weight catagory to another

Im reluctant to run a number of heavyweights due to the event clash with Robots Live, of which i didnt know about until Marco said on this thread.

Im looking for 32 feathers, and now were up to 17, the list is on the rebel robots website

Ok so looking at the list I know the majority of machines but I was wondering who owns the following machines? (dont recognise the names)

Ramya
Smash
Suprize

Ramya you have faced before in Technnogames Gary and beat it and Pussycat 8-0 at football, Ive reused the name on my brothers Robot
Smash is on the Roaming Robots Website, I think its a 2wd rambot (seem to remember having it stuck in Tanto Jnr at the UK champs
Suprizee is John Frizells 4wd Rambot

Ive been umm-ing and err-ing over whether to enter this or not. Wasnt sure if the new drum would be ready in time and if I could finance the trip, but after seeing the list of competitors already signed up, I dont want to miss out

Got the whole of the Christmas hols to get Drumroll in shape - its currently in pieces to go on a diet, and Ive got the bits required to make the current drum a bit more robust in the event that I dont have the new one ready. Looking forward to an improved performance as a quick test of the Speed 900s on an old chassis at the weekend showed that they were a worthwhile investment

Get down Jamie. You dont get many chances to run drumroll as it is!
