It will be great to show those Belgians and Germans how to build a robot.

So you are aware that the Dutch allready know :-)
I think we'll be bringing 6 to 8 Heavies.

[swanaldo]

Will take em on myself...6 to 8 good flips will do the trick.

[Marien]

Air Vs Main Land, sounds like a grunche match. How's your ride hight?

[teamstorm]

Nothing like a little trash talk !

Have had some PM's asking who the judges will be at this... well this wouldn't be a credible event without some real judges, with real credentials. So without further ado, I can reveal one of the judges.

We're flying in from the South of France just to be with for the event, Arthur Chilcott who will be taking up the role of our 'Head Judge' for the weekend. If anyone wants to really try to get into an argument with Arthur that he's wrong..... be my guest. The judges decision is final !

Arthur will ALSO be bringing along a very special trophy for the event, in line with Mortis' trophy in Robot Wars, we will be awarding the 'Chilcott Trophy for Most Aggressive Robot' at the event. Rest assured it's going to be something special.

... other judges to be revealed soon, but expect similar credentials !

Are FWs welcome? Would be great to attend what with it being so close to home.

[teamstorm]

The focus of this is on the heavyweights and we are struggling to accommodate the number of teams attending and the format in the time we'll have as it is. Should that change we'll post on here.

Sad Face, see -> :-(

Hi Ed
Just to confirm, it is just Heavies and no fights planned for Feathers at the moment so don't bring them, But it might change.

[teamstorm]

Correct Craig - the sign-up form has no option for registering a featherweight. Should that change, we'll let people know - but with the numbers expected and a limited number of fight slots, it looks like it could be a challenge in itself to get through the Heavyweight competition without throwing in featherweight fights also.

[craig_colliass]

Thanks Ed
I think this will be the first exclusive Heavyweight event I will have been to.

[razerdave]

I think it'll be the only HW exclusive event many of us have been to. I think the only one I remember that was HW only was the UK champs at Fairford when RIAT was cancelled ?

I will be signing up once the robot is running. About time I got back into the heavyweights. See if I stand up a bit better than the last time I was at this venue.

Also, just because FW's can't run, can we allow FW roboteers (like PJ) in to watch, since they are technically roboteers? Besides, this is as local as events get for PJ
