Simon, few meetings are that long but some of the issues raised at them require such lengthy discussion. Dont worry though, we do take coffee, lunch and pee breaks :wink:

Every member is entitled to have their say but the large majority of them do not want to be at all involved in the politics they simply want to enjoy what they doing. If all the membership happily continue in this sport without saying a word then we have done our job perfectly but we all know that that kind of Utopia doesnt exist

Oh the plot thickens it seems. This is more depressing than Eastenders.

Wish Ed Hoppitt would stop spamming my inbox. I didnt sign up to Edward Hoppitts Latest Stand on the FRA Elections. So stop spamming me or i take things further.

Each to their own Stu, I personally feel this entire affair is beginning to exhibit elements of comedy

Lets be honest ed has put a decent proposal forward. In anyones eyes it pushes the sport forward. So far ive heard nothing from geoff and therefore cant back some one who has no ideas for our future. how can i support nothing? Im not biased on anybodies side but it only takes a tiny bit of common sence as to which road we should be going down. A solid proposal vs so far nothing..

I would feel much happier if i heard something from Geoff but so far not a word and so i feel we have no choice until he does.

Joey - Spot On! Thing is that there are many, many members, past and present who are not laughing. They know the history.
Yet another spam mail - I am getting tired of this - no other candidate would have the gall to spam the membership for their own personal gain. Mike hasnt, Kane hasnt, Swanny, hasnt and Geoff wouldnt because they all realise that its just bad manners as well as being thoroughly unprofessional. Access to the forum or not, there are ways to direct people to your message without resorting to such invasive tactics.

James, I assume you will be at Magna tomorrow so you can chat to Geoff in person but as they say stay tuned to this channel

@ Karoline - I believe the phrase is called attention-whoring. Just ignore Ed like you have been. :P

This will be my first and probably my last comment on the forum but I can€™t just stand by and watch the discussions going on without commenting€¦
I feel that we are worlds away from the €˜one€™ roboteering community that so warmly welcomed me in 6 years ago and to be honest I am ashamed and embarrassed to be part of a community now where previous favours and good doings are being forgotten, where personal differences and unfound judgements are pulling a community apart and paving the way to the end of this sport in the UK€¦
At this time, more than ever before we should be focusing our energies on coming together not falling apart, on individual€™s strengths not their weaknesses, the skills they can bring to the community not the petty comments or disagreements from the past. We need to pull together each and everyone€™s strengths and skills and be big enough to put aside differences and misunderstandings to get to the same goal everyone has deep in their hearts- a future for roboteering in the UK and a community that can get together, have fun and grow the enthusiasm and interest towards the sport.
So at this point I urge you to step back and reconsider the direction we are heading in€¦ put aside personal difference, leave egos behind, stop creating villain €˜scapegoats€™ and look for the strengths and skills that are on offer within our community to help take us all ultimately to where we all want to be- one community and a thriving sport!

Here, here.
There will be elements, however, that will never let go of the past and drive the wedge deeper.

Why are some people under the impression that this sport is on its last legs and has no future?

[joey_picus]

Presumbaly the lack of any current TV coverage...

[kodster]

Meh, some people think like that...

Strange, Woodys link posted earlier now throws up a 404 for me.

Anyway, this is just a thought about the TV coverage (or lack thereof) - I am not aiming at anyone.....
Whether addressing anyones public or private persona, Robot Wars has gone! - Get over it!
Much of the thanks for that is due to the many teams and individuals that have come into the sport in the 5 years or so since the last series of RW was recorded. For anyone to say that the future looks clouded or doubtful devalues the contributions already made by the newest members of our community. It has kept the sport alive in the public eye by their enthusiasm for live events and to actually be real people rather than the perceived surreal personalities that TV tends to produce deliberately or not.

cant really say robot wars has gone

gladiators came back 8 years later - and robot wars is alot better then gladiators - just gotta see what happens at battlebots and it might make robot wars come back

if i was over it not going to come back on tv then i wouldnt be still doing it and i do hope one day it will come back and im not going to get over it or im off
