                      We've signed up with Whirlwind, Heatwave and Whirlpool although Whirlwind may be changed for Aftershock 2 if that gets put back together in time.

                      Looks like this is going to be a good event- we have tickets for Gadget Show live anyway so this is even better

                        I wouldn't say no to it, personally. I entered last year's for my first event and I had enough left to compete last Sunday. Besides, you could always just enter the annihilator on Saturday & Sunday. Most of the destructive spinners will be in the semis & unable to enter.

                        Plus the white boards. There were about 5 a weekend day? in Yeovil. 2 of which were non spinner. Check out the rogue two videos for examples.

                            That would be up to the event organizers but since 'Robots appearing for whiteboards' came up in the entry form - I would assume so.

                            The Friday isn't.

                            Kaizer's signed up, now what's happening with accommodation?
