Signing Up to Gadget Show Live

James will be putting some info up any day now - we've only just had official confirmation for everything. But for the record, it will be 4 days, Thursday to Sunday. We don't plan on limiting entry numbers either at this stage.

I'll be watching the forum like a hawk over the next few days then

The only bit I was worrying about. Thanks Grant!

Side question too, if I sign up HardWired II for the main competition, would I be able to bring HardWired I and the prototype one down for whiteboards or whatever too and not enter them into the main competition?

That's what I've been doing for the past 2 months lol

That's a pretty major change!

Yes you can bring other robots for whiteboard purposes.

Ellis, it's a big change because it looks like we have a big area this year!

[Ellis]

Sweet! Really looking forward to it. I think we're already booked.

[tweedermeister]

I don't think I'll be able to make it this year because I'm not sure on what the work situation will be so thursday and friday are almost impossible for me.

[PJ-27]

Let's build a little anticipation shall we?

Last years top rankings? The Top10 and all those in the playoffs?

The 6 in the annihilator and their running order until the winner?

If we're doing 10 seeds like last year they should be:

1: Explosion
2: Beauty 2
3: 720
4: NST
5: Beauty 7 ( or 8 )
6: Inertia XL
7: Little Hitter 3
8: Tiny Toon
9: Galactus
10: LS4

Annihilator competitors:
Ricochet
TS3
Binky/Conker 3
No Toy 2
Kaizer
Mini Mighty Mouse/Another flipper

[Ellis]

Wonder if there will be 18 seeded machines as there were 18 through to the Sunday.

[RobotExtreme]

razerdave,

Galactus finished on 7th place.

[razerdave]

Guilherme: I wrote that list based on the order the top 10 went out. When you had the losers melee with LS4, Tiny Toon, Beauty 2 and Little Hitter, you were the 2nd robot immobilised, Ls4 was immobile first. Ergo, you got 'seeded' 9th.

[Eventorizon]

Dave, how did Binky and Conker 3 make the Annihilator list? I am confused.

[razerdave]

Conker is an unknown quantity still, it could do grea or fall flat on its face, and since it looked kinda complicated, I reckon it would do the latter, but because it should be a decent spinner, it would get selected for the Annihilator (they usually pick 2 spinners, 2 flippers and 2 random others (pusher, axe, crusher, axlebot). Binky, we'll see if it will improve on last year, but again, you may find faults.
