No OOTA for The Mighty Seraphim!!! Clive that€™s a future I can live with!!

For me I can see there being less robot specific events like Swindon or Reading as the number of people who will want to pay to see them will dwindle and more combined events with technology shows like The Space Centre or Air Shows were we would be part of a bigger event will be a way forward.

I think some shows will have arenas that will be smaller because of cost of transport and setup times. So Heavies may well become less popular for roboteers as there are less shows for them to fight in, and so these machines may end up as static exhibits in some cases.

On the plus side I think there will be a move towards Light and middleweight machines. Cheaper to build and run and will fit better into the smaller arena shows.
I can see featherweight shows doing well in the next few years. As some organisers may have trailer type arenas that folds out like a trailer tent. For smaller venues were they could be set up in less than 2 hours and with costs lower a crowd of only 150 people means they break even. They may even be able to run spinners in the featherweight class and none spinner in the light or middleweight classes.

So for me I think the future is good, but I can see it different to what it is now.

What do you think.
