[james...venom]

Hello Everyone

We are delighted to announce we will be hosting the 2013 Fighting Robots UK Featherweight Full Combat Championships over 3 days at the Gadget Show Live, NEC. Robo Challenge will be returning to the UK largest consumer electronics exhibition as one of the main features. The Championships will commence on Friday 5th of April with the knockout stage and finals on Sunday 7th April. For all the details and to sign up please go to our site here -

The format will be the same as previous years as we feel it has worked well. There will be updates/clarifications to the judging rules so please do keep an eye out.

This year we are hoping to create a fantastic sporting event as well as encourage new people into our sport. We will be having intros made for all the teams from day one as well as creating a signings/q&a session for the winners.

We are certain its going to be a fantastic event again. So, will NST defend the championship? Will we see the rise of a new breed of robot? Will Predator get very broken??? Its time to sign up to the full combat 2013 UK Championships!

We wish you all the best of luck, sign ups are open!

Does the extra robot rule apply if its not competing in the champs, just in whiteboard fights?

Re: Robo Challenge - 2013 FRA UK Featherweight Championships

The rules and entry fee only applies to the competition robots. If you have a whiteboard robot as well as a competition machine just bring it along

Just what I wanted to hear after giving Drumroll a good beating at the weekend .

We'll be signing up in the next few days when we decide which bots to enter. Very glad you chose to hold it here rather than in Yeovil, bit too far for me but Birmingham is perfect.

What is the deadline for signing up? We are having trouble getting our machines wired and tested. I really wish I had considered where the wires were going to run when I designed them!

Mid march will be the closing date for entries.

Looks like it's time to get to work on the upgrades to Inertia

May have a 2nd spinner to bring along as well but we'll see how it goes.

Thanks James, thats perfect.

Upgrades for Inertia XL? Ouch... what you got in mind?

Re: Robo Challenge - 2013 FRA UK Featherweight Championships

I have a few changes in mind to solve a couple of the reliability issues and make it stronger overall. Not going to say much more than that until I know for sure

Great! It's always a really good event We'll be signing up Explosion later tonight.

Apart from repairs Explosion is exactly the same as last year, will be interesting to see if it can do well again this year. I must say that I am worried about the amount of spinners being made...

Aren't we all?!

We'll definitely have Tormenta 2 in the competition, and if all goes to plan a new machine also competing, if dad can drive one of the two.

Signed up Skyfall, and Chuck (under a new name which shall be revealed shortly) :twisted: .
Finally got somewhere with all the stuff, gonna start building as soon as I've got it all.
James, I've left the 2nd driver section blank until I can find someone, I'll let you know when I know!
Also, I seem to have been charged for P&P on the registration? Are you sending us something?
Anyway, looking forward to it, see you all there!
