I will bring a whole lot of spares. Do you think I will have time to build a new bot after every battle.

Tickets selling like hot cakes now, strange how people leave things til last minute.
Looks like the feather competition will be very competitive. Im still hopeful of getting Blacknblues disk working (burnt the motor out)

The feedback from people who came to watch this event was 100% positive. We had 1,200 come to watch over three days. All the feedback forms handed in said they would love to go to another Roaming Robots Event in Denbigh, most also said they would attend a Featherweight bash here later in the year.
Many thanks to Jonno and his Roaming Robots team for their brilliant work in this event. The arena coped with over fifty battles over nine shows, hardly any delays for the audience.
We had nearly 40 robots in attendance, and many broken ones by the end. Thanks to all the teams for attending this 100% charity event. The event raised just over £5000 (profit) which will be shared between the school technology department and our local hospice.
At nearly £3000 the accomodation was by far the costliest part for me but I hope the accomodation was acceptable or at least as good as what you are used to at live events.
I plan to repeat this event next year, but only for two days in the same venue. I hope all the teams enjoyed the weekend and will want to come again.

Thanks to Tom Ross I have loads of pictures and videos of the fights including the epic 9-way heavyweight melee on Sunday. I will upload these to my site over the next week or so.

Excellent event, thank you to Rob & co for their hard work in making it happen. It was nice to get a rusty M2 out of the garage and fight it for the first time this year! Well done to young Scott and Ewe 2 on a brilliant performance - I will get my revenge but may have to build a new robot to do it
