Confirmation e-mails will go out to all teams listed above in the next few days, and another e-mail shortly after with further details.
for further signups or tickets please go to http://www.robochallenge.co.ukwww.robochallenge.co.uk

Like last time we are aiming to get robots in and out of the arena as quickly as possible, and with around 80 fights over the two days there will be no time to waste - so be warned - be ready!!
As this is a serious Championship we will not be messing around, and all rules and regulations will be strictly followed and constantly checked up on. Weigh-ins will be a common occurance, every robot will be weighed at tech check with their heaviest set-up and spot checks will be made through out the competition. If you beleive an opponent to be over-weight during a fight we have no option but to check! 12.2kg will be the absolubte maximum allowed.
Please also be aware that there will be constant checking of gas filling, over-filling bottles will not be tollerated for safety reasons. I have already seen more than 4 burst discs on featherweight gas bottles blow in less than 5 events!

Have fun and good luck

question, is it possible to oota robots in your arena? The space between inner and outer wall looks small in the photos ive seen,

Yes im doing my homework.

21st & 22nd July 2007 - Fighting Robots European Champio

Its reasonably large really, very possible.

21st & 22nd July 2007 - Fighting Robots European Champio

There is around 950mm seperation zone between the inner arena and the outer walls so yes Leo, plenty of room
You can just about see from the picture in my profile. There were alot of robots ending up OOTA at our last event.

Well i feel a lot better now. Mario, Rick and I are working hard on making Hannibalito 1 and 2 more controlable and better armoured.

And I just noticed something else: Nebelwerfers Finnish brother is coming, Hyperion. Cool.

Have decided to turn Kaizer from a feather to a raptor for this event, not actually too hard to do since it only weighed about 9kg before

Hope itll have more success in the raptor class than it did at its last outing in the feathers

Hey guys,

First time camping will be at this event (never been camping before - shocking, isnt it )
Got ourselves a tent package with the sleeping bags and camping mats (and tent obviously ), just wondering if theres any other major stuff besides food and drink that well need?

And will there be things like showers and toilets on the campsite (probably rookie camper questions I know but gotta start somewhere :P)

Cheers,
Jamie
