    Robots Live European Championships 2013

    September 7th and 8th will see a quantum leap forward in events as Robots Live team up with the Team Storm Academy to bring a European Championship event with a target to raise £20,000 for Children's Charities in the UK.

    As part of their charitable work The Robot Wars World Champions Team Storm, will be bringing the funding required for the event and Robots Live will be working with them and the charities, to run the event. Everyone involved in the event is giving time, effort and input at the lowest cost possible but at the same time we want to look after those of you who are the real stars of the show in return for enabling us to raise money for charity.


    The important stuff that you need to know

    Where is the event Norwich, close to East Coast ports (eg Harwich, Felixstowe and straight up the A14/A11 from Stansted Airport)

    When is the event September 7th and 8th 2013

    Will there be a prize fund YES !

    Will there be trophies YES !

    Will this become an annual event We certainly hope so

    Will there be assistance for European Teams attending YES ! (Leo will be coordinating our European Entries)

    Will we be helping with Accommodation for teams ? YES !

    Will there be food provided for the teams ? YES !

    Are there some more surprises to reveal.. of course !

    We're expecting more entries than we can accommodate at the event with this being open across Europe, so will be announcing when registration goes live in the near future

    People have been saying for a long time they want an event where the competitive pressure is on, the rest of the pressure is off now you need to prove you can deliver!

    The robots are coming.

          Terry - 2 days, 7th and 8th of September. Venue is The University of East Anglia (UEA) - miracles I can do !

          And yes, any support/assistance from Roboteers is appreciated, for those in the local area (East Anglia) assistance in promotional work is going to be needed - we have 2,000 tickets to sell to reach our charitable target !

                      Good morning everyone, sorry for not responding to questions in the thread - have been away.

                      So, feathers - well this isn't a featherweight events, RoboChallenge have a far better arena for running feathers but we are just working out to what degree feathers could feature in the event, so watch this space.

                      Robots Live will shortly be announcing the seeds, and I can confirm that there are at least 6 non-UK robots in the running to attend so far with support being provided for them in terms of ferries and hotel costs.

                      We're just in the process of finalising the last logistical bits and pieces, and when we announce the seeds we will also be announcing the prize fund you'll be playing for ! Rest assured it will be more than enough to repair a damaged Wotty for example, so we're expecting people to be going all out for this one

                          Just a quick update, having checked in with our European friends it looks like we're going to get quite a turn-out of European Robots for this, at the moment we have 7 interested.... will be great to see a competition event with a range of different robots taking part.

                          Alan will open sign-up's for the event shortly, we're expecting it to be over subscribed and we're just in the process of working out how to deal with that and seeding.
