NEW ! Dutch full contact live event, 25/26 April 2009 !

[anukhet]

By my (very) rough translation that is:
Eee-oop lad!!
Cute robots... mostly broken... quality... not so good!!!
Almost worthless but willing to pay you 30 Euros to take them off our hands otherwise we may have to abandon them in a motorway service area carpark!!

[Marien]

Your text is not bad, Geoff! I can print it onto some A0 posters, and arrange an auction, if you boys are serious about it!
What ferry are the Roaming Roboteers on?

[geoff]

Marien
I don't think they want to sell their robots!! (my text was ment as a joke!) But i'm sure that John and Swanny would hire them out for the public to drive for a small fee.

Andy and I are on the 08.10 Dover-Calais ferry, not sure about John and Swanny but they may be on the same one.

Geoff smith what time you coming back ????

[geoff]

Pete, I'm booked on the 18.30 (local time) ferry from calais...Why?

[botmad]

just looking at mine is all

Will prob be on the same one out but not the return

[Marien]

Can we arrive at the venue on Friday afternoon and unload our robots or do we have to wait until Saturday morning? Also, do we need to get passes to get into the Zandvoort circuit?

You can arrive on thursday, friday and saturday, from 7 am.
I'll get all passes for you lot. I'm hoping to put someone at the gate with them, or you phone me when you arrive.
Camping is open from thursday and situated between the Slip School and the circuit. There will be no racing (noise) from 7 pm.
The parties have no free drinks, unfortunately :-)
The arena will be in the middle of a circus tent, and very busy they say.
I stopped counting the tv crews that will be there, but announcements have been on national radio for a couple of weeks now.

Speed & Gein will be serious racing, impressive demo's and a lot of crazyness. The full program and map will be on http://www.speedengein.com/ this weekend.

Thanks Marien,
Looks like we are in for a busy weekend. Please can you e-mail me your phone number just in case.

Thanks.

[Marien]

I will put it in an e-mail that will go out to all competitors.
