Getting off topic here guys, but probably not worth starting a new thread - Are there 2006 membership cards for both RR and the FRA atm?

I sent off a cheque for the FRA membership and paid for the RR one online about ten days ago but havent heard anything back from either yet.

Two separate organisations, so two different questions really...

When should I expect to recieve anything?

Ewan, your application for the FRA is four months behind every body else.
It has been part processed and for your information the membership number for your team is 50.
Your ten pounds is to be spent on the following 95% on insurance and the other 5% on paying for you to have the use of this website.
It does not leave any funds for posting membership cards.
An earlier post stated that membership cards could be collected at an FRA event.
Should you attend an event with either XFM or Roaming Robots they will know that you are a member.
By posting here you are implying that the FRA secretariat is inefficient with its responsibilities.
Could we suggest that when you have a query such as this that you use info@fightingrobots.co.uk as your first port of call to get an answer.
For the record it is a pain to process one application rather than a batch of them.

Woah, I was just checking there wasnt anything amiss with the cheque, though as Geoff has emailed, its all fine by the sounds of it.

Apologies for the lateness of the application though, other things have got in the way of me organising myself with all the regular to-dos.

** UK Championships Update **

First of all thank you for your patience in waiting for the whereabouts, and specific details of the 2006 UK Championship.
As always with Roaming Robots events, we wanted to be 100% sure, and be in a comfortable position to ensure once launched, it happens, and we are in total control of the event.

Finally, we can confirm, that the €œGo€ button has been pressed on what will be the first true full combat UK Championship outside of Robot Wars, and hopefully help to keep our sport and hobby we love alive for many years to come.

This championship, will certainly be a championship for roboteers. With 3 months notice before the event, I hope that this will give people enough time to plan, build, and to upgrade their machines, already I have been notified of some golden oldies coming out of retirement for this event.

From this point, things can only get more and more exciting, as this event, and the project unfolds.

Venue

We can confirm that the championships will be held at Wicksteed Theme park in Kettering, Northamptonshire.
Roaming Robots has held its normal class 3 show there for 3 consecutive years, and each have been enjoyed by both general public, and roboteers.

Returning for 2006, this time (hopefully in the heat of the summer) for the Championships with a full combat class 2 arena should provide a perfect setting.
Situated centrally in the UK, allows easy access for both roboteers and general public.


Dates

As per our previous update, the competition will run over 5 days. Each team will be required to attend for one of the heat days, and each robot will fight a minimum of 3 times during that day, with the highest point scorer going through to the second round.

The schedule will be:

Wednesday 23rd August - Heats A-D
Thursday 24th August - Heats E-H
Friday 25th August - Heats I-L
Saturday 26th August - Semi Finals & Other competitions first round.
Sunday 27th August - Finals Day (All Competitions)
Sunday 27th August (Evening) - Party Night

We will be running the following competitions:

UK championship - Heavy Weight
UK Championship - Feather Weight
Annihilator
Tag Team
International Challenge

More information about each of the competitions, and specific rules will be able to be found on the website very soon.





Accommodation

Accommodation will be provided in the form of camping for all attending teams. Not in our usual location, camping will be in a designated spot within the park away from the arena. More information will follow.


Arena

Now have the new makrolon, and roof in possession, and work has began on the arena. The new Class 2, Roaming Robots arena will not only have the required upgrades including, 10mm makrolon, bigger exclusion zone€¦ etc, but we may just have a few surprises for you. Watch this space!!!


General

Over the coming weeks there will be plenty of information to ship out to you all. Friday night will become our update night, on both the forum, and website as and when we need to including.

Championship sign ups start 7 pm friday.

Best of luck to the first 48 heavies and 24 feathers

[creepdth]

>>> 23rd-27th August / The RR UK Championships 2

So Andy, if im correct only 48 heavies are allowed to join the competition ? ok, we will be online to book asap.. thnx for your input !

[jamesb]

>>> 23rd-27th August / The RR UK Championships 2

how does this effect teams with 2 heavies and 4 feathers for example?

Im assuming one team may enter only 1 heavy and/or 1 feather each? Meaning only 1 heavy in 2 can enter a feather also?
