my 2 cents...

not many people will recognize me as a event organizer, in fact, many of you will not recognize me at all (iv only been to about 5 events (not including ant events) ) but i have in fact hosted a antweight event (r.f.r.c, which stands for richmond fighting robot club) and have many more lined up for the future. the one event i have organized has been quite expensive and hard to organize (thanks to many people for helping me btw!) so i can only imagine what hosting a bigger event will be like. iv only really been active for 2 years but even in that time i have seen the sport we love change dramatically. more of the good ol' boys seem to be turning up less and less and, from my point of view only a limited amount of new blood has come in. over on the ant forum however (robotwars101) we seem to be picking up a lot of new blood and just to show what new blood can mean for the sport: in the 2 years iv been here i have had 10 ants, 2 feathers and a heavy (not to mention various other creations). if every newbie had that amount of robots we would be laughing

i have a lot more to say but i suggest you look at the bottom-ish bit of this thread
http://www.robotwars101.org/phpBB/viewt ... 3&start=15

what i suggest is teamwork, we need to get the word out there that we are still alive and kicking, perhaps if the e.o's had a joined event the cost could be shared among them?

im really not to sure about some of this stuff tbh, the money and ressesion part is more of a adult topic (i try to help out but im only 12) what i do know though is that i love robots and im not going down without a fight!
