[james...venom]

Hello all

We are pleased to announce that we will be hosting the 2009 Fighting Robots Featherweight UK Championships on March 14th and 15th as part of the first UK Maker Faire.

The event is part of the Newcastle science week and we hope to make this the best UK Championships ever.

As this is quite a distance from our usual venues there will be no entry fee for competitors and sign up will be via our website soon.

As well as medals for the podium positions there will be £500 prize fund up for grabs! Robo Challenge will also be donating a custom made trophy to the FRA which will have the names of all the past champions inscribed on it. This will be returned each year for the champion to defend.

More infor to come soon including the venue and sign up details.

good luck to all and we look forward to what we guarentee will be the best UK champs ever!

[john]

Newcastle!?
To up north for us unfortuantly.
Besides, Hunter is only 3mm & 1.5mm Ali, so it wouldnt stand a chance against the other spinners.
Sorry!

Neither would Pug, Pug has 5mm fibreglass armour. It wont last very long in there, but I might come down and watch, (and be backstage at the same time)
