  • 2010 Featherweight UK Championships - 3 Days September

    Hey everyone,
    Some good news atlast... We've finally got an event now schedualed for the Fighting Robots 2010 Featherwight UK Championships

    Keep your diaries clear for Robo Challenge's 3 day UK Champs from September 24th-26th.
    This event will be sponsored by Silverline Tools, and run in conjunction with the 2010 PowerTool Drag racing at Fleet Air Arms museum in Yeovil/Summerset.

    Some good news for everyone, there is NO requirement to build a Powertool drag racer this year, although I hope everyone enjoyed it enough last year to want to compete again!

    We will be running First rounds through on Friday (purely robot's on the friday). The next rounds up untill the semi finals will be held on the Saturday, with a mix of Robot fighting and Indoor Drag racing. We will then be running the Quater Finals, Semi Finals and Grand Finals on Sunday, with a mix of Robot fighting and outdoor Powertool Drag Racing.

    Minor details are set to change over the next few weeks, but I will keep you all updated along the way.

    There is a local campsite down the road for everyone to stop at, there is a small charge, but it is only a very small charge (about £5 per tent/caravan I believe).

    As with last year, we have the custom made trophy currently held by Beauty2 - and the FRA have kindly donated £200 for 1st, second and 3rd place trophies that you will get to keep. Details on these trophies will be shown closer to the competition.

    Prizes, entry forms and requirements and any other details will come shortly!

    I'm looking forward to it already!

      Excellent news!!

      I'll have all summer to rebuild Aftershock for this event so hopefully it will be able to do one better this time round

      I'll definately be there with Aftershock, Matt will probably be there with Heatwave and we'll dust of the dragster for another run too.

        I hope I can have both FW's there for this one, I presume its still 1 robot per driver?

          Yep same rules as always - 1 robot per driver. We hope to add in a good number of whiteboards too, but will keep you updated on that when we start on the official timetables.

            I love you guys
            Just started buzzing as soon as I read this - bring it on!

            EDIT: The kilt-wearing, haggis-bearing belt sander will be back, with just some small weight-saving mods, doubt it'll go much faster though, it is the cheapest of the cheap after all

                  I might well end up just running drag racers this year. Got a hell of a lot of work to get saber together and I'm not sure I'll bother before the champs. Spending all my time and cash on a ride on drag racer this year, so much fun!!!! :O

                        Every time a Robochallenge event rolls around, we all say (hope!) that Beauty 2 won't win it again yet it always does. So time for a new tactic; I think Beauty 2 will win!

                        Gary, go on, enter Hornet 2 with its spinning drill bit of doom

                          Ha nah hornet 2 is done and dusted. I'd need a new mag and I'm using the A123s in my ride on racer to power the multiple pumps I'll be using for various systems. My racer is gonna be awesome though!
