if this was the way things went:-
i think location is key, as you have roboteers all over the country so i believe it would need to be somewhere central, otherwise you may loose a few who only attend events closer to home.
i also think fewer events would be better on peoples pockets, and make more of a build up to events.
personally i would still try and get a audiance if possible, it helps with the atmosphere, drums up interest, even if it is held in one area of the country, it would be a bit extra cash to put in a kitty to buy new things/upgrades....

the only disadvantages i could see is if you went to a event that you pay a yearly membership into and say the arena was getting a bit shabby in places, people might not be too impressed, or spinners were causing alot of damage pushing up the price of maintenance somewhat. also more than one EO would make a great competition but what about conflict of ideas etc....?

i have no idea of the costs involved so could be wrong in what im saying.

would you possibly get more tv interest?? having a designated place perminantly setup?

may not compete anymore but still have interest, i would say its something people should give further thought and post about.

i think cost would be the biggest factor as to weather people think its a good idea.

least their would always be enough tables and powerpoints, know where your going etc.... lol

just think jonno, never having to transport, setup or dismantle a arena again.... bliss lol

i dont know how many active roboteers are around 100? 150? say £100 each per year. thats £10-£15K a year, would that get you much of a warehouse? and thats before maintenance, insurances, bills.
im just guessing here and throwing opinions and numbers, i dont want a backlash.

no idea how many active roboteers their are, or how much it costs for a warehouse.

or perhaps have a audiance when its a major competition over a few days, uk/world champs,
