Since I was bored, and I was curious, after Froggys comment about me being one of the most travelled roboteers around, I worked out how far Ive travelled in the past year (2007):

Swindon - 36.8 miles
BMW - 247.2 miles
Wigan - 320 Miles
AWS 22 - 85 miles
Magna - 300.4 miles
Colchester - 275 miles
Burgess Hill - 228 miles
Mold - 350 miles
RR Ayelsbury - 82 miles
RR Northampton - 120 miles
RR Guildford - 160.2 Miles
Space Center - 154.6
RL Exeter - 275.4 Miles
UK HW champs + Hemel Hempstead
190.8 miles Oxford to Phwelli, 234.8miles Phwelli to HH, 68.8 miles HH to Oxford) = 494.4 Miles!
RR Doncaster - 312 miles
RR Portsmouth - 204.4 Miles
AWS 24 (Ickenham) - 115 Mile
Robochallenge ThinkTank - 121.6 miles

= 3881.6 Miles

Its obvious Ill go anywhere for an event, but how far would you go for one ?

Answers on a postcard :P

Regards
David

Wow Dave, thats pretty far!

Makes our two/three times a year trip down from Scotland seem like a quick five minute jaunt in comparison

Just thinking about it actually, I dont think anyone can trump Jonno this year in terms of miles racked up. Singapore and Doha just take the biscuit!

**swanaldo** · 31st May 2008, 09:49

i was just gonna say i can beat you in 1 event jonno would win hands down

**cliveb** · 31st May 2008, 10:05

will try to work it out later but only for 2008:wink:

johnno has beat me by singapore :P

**razerdave** · 31st May 2008, 11:01

Yeah, Jonno would go over me easily, but for those of us not jet-setting to Doha and Singapore...I think just under 4000 miles is a lot for a guy on public transport the entire year
