Jonno's question of the day ???

[Kenny]

A and C

[ian_humphrey]

I think I would incline towards A. If everyone was in the a hotel together it would make for a good social event. I imagine that C would be preferred by the owners of the better robots but B would be my second choice.

In the order they are posted >>>>>>

A= 1st choice

B= 2nd choice

C= 3rd choice

4th choice = A+B+C

[john_frizell]

A or B. Bring it on!

[terrorhurtz]

A

[widow_twanky]

B would be my preference

[teamhunt]

C sounds good, but A would probably suit me more personally (especially if the location is far away)
Also, my dad raised a good question last night - would these events be during half terms and school breaks?
Otherwise that would probably involve pulling kids out of school - roboteer and public.

Interesting.,

Thanks for commenting guys.

So to summarise from here and personal emails I've had.

People appear to be more bothered about having a hotel provided, it would take the hassle of finding one away from them, and if we had enough notice we could all book into the same hotel, which would make for a good social evening throughout the event.


Of course everyone would love the extra daily amount and a prize fund if it was a UK champs but it appears more important to have a good set of trophies to fight for.

If there was budget then it appears a set appearance fee / day is more favourable than a prize fund, as it encourages people to come even if they dont think their robot can win !

The event would definately be in the school holidays, so we attract kids to come and see the show, and of course we capture our feather weight / younger community too.

We have talked about the possibility of running a FW Full combat champs too along side but no decision has been made.

Anyone anything else to share, comments etc feel free.

If FW Full combat means spinners, I'm all for it.

Bit late but Ive only just seen it.
My choice would be A and B - obviously having no job again does take its toll on everything I do but I dont have the baggage of getting time off
