hey All,

Just to ask if you could make sure your Heavy Weight or Feather Weight (Robots that go in the MAIN arena) are signed up to the event and are on the online list. Trying some new computer system out and is handy if your on the system. Though the system will not allow multi-sign ups so if you need to add a robot to the event, then please email webmaster@roamingrobots.co.uk as it's easier to ad you to the system now than at the event.Thanks for your co-operation and hopfuly this new thing will work at the event - 2 weekends away!

Hi Stu,

Are you sorted for that long USB cable so our ants can go up on that big screen, if not then I'll invest in one.

Simon

A USB cable? I'm confused. At present we don't have means to get footage from a USB cam (Web cam) onto the screens.
Only using standard AV cable (normal yellow) video which goes into the main switcher. We have the camera, well a camera,
but it's the long AV cable we need which i have ordered by jonno ages ago, so it's if he gets it or not.
Which i would say no, as he's not doing anything at the moment.

OK Stu,

I can handle the camera, lighting etc and the cable.

How long do you think it needs to be to reach from the antweight area to your equipment?

Simon

[stu]

if i'm honest i have no idea. Depends on day where i go and where the ant arena goes. Could be 5m or 15m! Hmmm. I'll speak to john.
