Re: 2010 Featherweight UK Championships - 3 Days September

Hi all, I'm a newbie interested in joining the robot building community.

I've been reading posts on this forum for weeks now and have decided that I'm going to build a FW and compete next year.

I noticed that this event is in Yeovil which is only an hour from me so I'm going to come along and see what's what.

Do I need to buy tickets in advance or can I get them on the day? Is it going to be possible for me to walk around the pits and see/chat to robot builders? I'm hoping to gain some knowledge whilst at the event.

Perhaps one day, I'll build a HW, but for now - it's the feathers I'm interested in.

Hi Rob

Yes there are whiteboards. Sunday we will run a morning session for the semi's and 2 whiteboards and an afternoon session with the finals and 1 big melee. The full timetable will be up shortly

James would it be ok for us to just enter for the whiteboards then.

Thanks,
ROB....

Rob, bring your robot along as entering whiteboards wont be a problem at all. We will be trying to add as many in as possible.

Mardy, It would be great to see you at the event! If you just buy tickets to get into fleet air arm's musuem then that will allow you to come round to robot area. Just say who you are etc and we will be sure to let you in the pit area to talk to the roboteers and see things close up.
It's always good to meet potential new robot builders at any event.

Ewan - Sorry to hear you can't make it now. It would have been good to catch up after such a long time!

Hello Mardy

As Grant said if you pay for entry into the museum than you can see all the exhibits. Just speak to either Grant or I on the day and we should be able to let you into the pits. the roboteers are vey friendly and can give you lots of advice, we will also have our store in the pits arena which will have our motors, wheels, transmitter sets etc if you need anything.

Awesome, we'll be sorted for spares then

Just working on Carcinus at the moment doing a general service. Looking at it, it'll be in need of a rebuild soon, but it can wait for now. It'll be whiteboards only this event, so anyone who's competing in the whiteboards can expect some seriously pathetic and wimpy squeezing power. Just think of it as us giving you a hug
