Craig, with all due respect you cannot possibly tech check all those machines in only half hour especially with all the new spinners due to be there.

the tech checks can carry one during the filming as one robot can be filmed while others are being tech checked

im a bit gutted that we cant film our own fights tbh. also do you think you have given enough time inbetween shows? whats the minimum time we will have to turn around our robots? with it also being a full combat event their is gonna be some damage.

Adrian - Filming, theres nothing we can do about that you will be given a copy of the final film, but it would breach our filming contracts if you film your own footage
Between shows- yes there is enough time
15-20mins will be the minimum turn around time

Rebel Robots

Adrian, yes that will be fine.

LJ and anyone else interested, popping over to see the arena is up to Craig but Im sure that he will agree that we would like to do the inspection without distractions or interruptions.

Can understand the not allowed to film the fights situation, kinda like wanting to take a camcorder into the roboteer booths in Robot Wars, wasnt gonna happen due to the fact it was being filmed for TV. Its cool though that we get a copy of the fights though, bound to be much better quality than the standard home camcorders

Craig, does the filming restriction apply purely to fights or for the pits area etc too? Just wondering as I was planning on getting some pre/post fight interviews in the pits for the video diary, plus some general pits activity.

Cheers
