4/5th October 2008 Roaming Robots Mountbatten Centre, Portsmouth

Round 1 of the 2008 Winter Tour this year begins at the Mountbatten centre in Portsmouth. 5 years along the line and this event is just as popular as the first time we attended.
We€™re sure 2008 will be equally as good, if not bigger and better then before as the winter tour championship is always hard fought for !!

Tickets are on sale and roboteers can sign up early 2008!

yep, no worries.

Weve got a lot of work to do in the RR camp over the summer.

Once we get the other 3 teams up and running with haven next week, then well be launching the winter tour officially and sign ups will be open.

Portsmouth is going to certainly shake up a few things

Ok time for an update of plans for this event.

Over the summer the RR arena / shows are having a revamp, been threatening it for a while, but its time !!

I think its time for a bit of a shake up to the way events run, and fights are won.
The arena along with having a new outer section / makrolon is also changing in style.

No more 10 second fights, because two of the main arena side walls are not as low as they used to be, they are now 2m high, so robots wont be flipped out on all sides of the arena.

However.... on the two sides where robots can be flipped out.... even if you are out of the arena, your not out.... you will end up on a platform on which we will be giving you 30 seconds to drive back into the arena.... yes drive back into the arena

You will have 2 chances... on the 3rd oota, you will be OUT !!!

what else.....

well looks like you also need to start fireproofing your robots.... flames are coming very very soon thanks to our lighting and effects company who are currently working with Mcfly with lots of flames !!!


Lots more info to come including prize funds / appearance fees and other stuff .... watch this space.

Of course ive posted it here to get peoples reactions, and opinions, but i hope you will agree with me, it will both spice the fights up, and add a lot more excitement to our shows !!
