If the arena can take heavyweight spinners and assuming that the middles are less destructive, what is the problem with that?

o and i meant to say, Jonno, if you are ever planning anything up in this neck of the woods again although i dont think you are too keen after last time, then give me a shout.

I would be happy to do a bit of leg work and advertise the event throughout edinburgh (I didnt see anything last time)

Julian - the inner arena can take the heavy weight spinners, but the outer polycarb screens (6mm) and the roof at current is not able to contain a heavy weight spinner safely.

At the moment this year we can only have spinners in the Ant Weight and Feather Weight class.

So middles are a problem. I think that you will have to say no to them as potentially they could hit as hard as a heavy (Typhoon and 259 did)

Julian we have said no to them. Like said above ONLY ant weights and feather weight spinners are allowed. There are even feather weight spinners out there which have more HP and energy stored in their discs than some older Heavy Weight discs.

hi chris, enjoying your hols?

Im Looking forward to the winter tour.

Given that so many cable/satellite tv channels are still repeating all the RW stuff cant roaming robots persuade one of these channels to film the winter tour? its the only way to get the sport back in the mind of the public on a big scale. the fans are still out there but as time goes on...

I think bringing the winter Tour to television is a great idea because there is still a huge folowing for robotic combat.
This would make Roaming Robots even bigger!

(B.T.W) Yes i am enjoying the holidays!

BBC might be interested in doing it themselves (without Mentorn)

[robjones]

I agree Julian. Someone (An FRA Officer?) needs to be canvasing all the TV people all of the time to try and get coverage.

Depends where all the venues are but it should be easy to get local BBC news programmes to do a two minute piece.

Very nice animation Mr Stu! ooooo Im actually excited!

Rob, what we need is from someone representing robots (FRA and Roaming Robots) to contact the BBC to see if they would like to televise robot combat (without the baggage that would come with Mentorn). All they would need to do would be to provide cameras and presenters and the rest is done for them.

Please dont take this personally, but I think a reality check is needed here guys, life just isnt that simple and its statements like that, that make it clear to TV people just how clueless we can be at times.

Suffice to say people are talking to the BBC at the highest levels and conduits for communication exist but and at the moment there is no interest in ressurecting the format.
