I find this to be a brilliant way to bring back the old robot games. They were so underrated and it will be interesting to see what today's bots can do with some events other than combat.

Swanny
It's very simple, those people that pay me the largest bribes will end up in the best team

Seriously though what we are planning is to pick 4 team captains and then let them pick their own teams.
As I said previously we may need to do some balancing at the end to ensure it is fair.

But it's worth remembering just because a robot is good at fighting doesn't mean that it's going to be good at all of the games. (As I proved at the weekend when Merlin thrashed me when we did a trial hockey match!!!)

So are you interested in a becoming a team captain?

Ok stick me down for a team captain just so jonno dont get to pick me cos i dont want to be on his team the great big wuss.

Oh and by the way my team wont win so if you get chosen to be on my team dont expect glory.

For now if the captains can pick 3 more robots to join their team, to give you 4 heavies in your team, after that we'll see whos left and go from there. Post on here when you've sorted them. Teams will be assigned a colour red/blue/green/yellow.

Re: 22nd & 23rd May 2010 - Robots Live - Norwich

Can people get confirmation of the people who they want in their team, just to make sure they're ok being in your team also, some may be only attending one day. Then post when they are confirmed.

Re: 22nd & 23rd May 2010 - Robots Live - Norwich

HI Alan,

Yes I can confirm that all parties are happy in Team JONNO



Question... Can one driver drive more than one robot?
