Entries close tomorrow! If you would like to compete you must enter today as we will be doing the draw for the first round battles very soon

I'm afraid I'm going to have to withdraw from this one due to newly arisen university commitments, apologies for the late notice.
Certainly hope to be competing again soon in the future but at least this means there's less of a rush on the build.
For those wondering Flux is/going to be a tracked lifter machine modelled after my beetleweight - I'll post some pictures in the 'build diaries' section in the next few days.

Hi James,
will there be whiteboards between the comps? I can only get to the event on the sunday.
Cheers,
ROB....

Hi Rob

Yes there are whiteboards. Sunday we will run a morning session for the semi's and 2 whiteboards and an afternoon session with the finals and 1 big melee. The full timetable will be up shortly

Hi all, I'm a newbie interested in joining the robot building community.

I've been reading posts on this forum for weeks now and have decided that I'm going to build a FW and compete next year.

I noticed that this event is in Yeovil which is only an hour from me so I'm going to come along and see what's what.

Do I need to buy tickets in advance or can I get them on the day? Is it going to be possible for me to walk around the pits and see/chat to robot builders? I'm hoping to gain some knowledge whilst at the event.

Perhaps one day, I'll build a HW, but for now - it's the feathers I'm interested in.

James would it be ok for us to just enter for the whiteboards then.

Thanks,
ROB....

Rob, bring your robot along as entering whiteboards wont be a problem at all. We will be trying to add as many in as possible.

Mardy, It would be great to see you at the event! If you just buy tickets to get into fleet air arm's musuem then that will allow you to come round to robot area. Just say who you are etc and we will be sure to let you in the pit area to talk to the roboteers and see things close up.
It's always good to meet potential new robot builders at any event.

Ewan - Sorry to hear you can't make it now. It would have been good to catch up after such a long time!
