How would you sign up for the UK FW Championships at Gadget Show Live 2014? Do you need to buy tickets for gadget show live, then get in that way or is there another way?

If you have a qualifying robot, you don't need tickets for that weekend as your security pass gets you in but only those 3 people with passes.
Sign-ups WILL appear in the UK championships thread in the events subforum.
One point worth mentioning is that Robochallenge once did the sign ups about 3 weeks before the event, so it's not really worth looking for sign-ups in October. -
Thanks for that.
So does that mean that 3 people get in per robot if you have passes?Originally posted by psychostorm View PostComment

I think so but worth double checking.Comment

Do you have to fight and qualify in prior events to be allowed to enter this, or is it just a matter of signing up when signup is live?Comment

Last year was just a case of signing up when it was live! The champs are always very popular though and there's usually only 45(ish) spaces available so if you want to do it... sighn up quick!
I'm not event organizer though so its best to check with them (Robochallenge)

Is there prior warning for when the signups will go live, or is it just that they go up one day and it's first come first served? Trying to get in on it this year myself, finally get to go to an event and whatnot!Comment

The date for GSL 2014 is set already. A forum post will go up with a link to a signing up sheet. Maximum of 4 people per team and maximum of 4 robots. There is a sign up fee, I think it was £25 per person last year. When I have signed up it has been either 4 weeks or 3 weeks before the event. My advice is build the machine and have it tested properly with 6 weeks to go before the event, that way you have plenty of time if something goes wrong.Comment

I see... I'm going to have the machine built way in advice to avoid rushing! It's just with regards booking hotel rooms and travel and all that, I'd hate to book it all then not get a place in the show itself since it's all a bit expensive, or leave it too late and not be able to book anywhere! Hopefully it all goes to plan though, looking forward to finally having a go at it all myselfComment

Yeh, I'm in the same boat as Matt... usually only attend the gadget show for 2-3 days, but if I'm entering this year, it's going to change where I'm staying and will need to do a load of booking in advance
If we did book our rooms and trains etc, and worse came to worse, would we still be eligible for an event pass?
Otherwise there is gadget show tickets that need buying and possible cancellations of bookings etc that will all need to be jimmied about... which I don't much fancy haha
Rather just book everything once and know where I stand for either eventuality

Its the same issue for most people who have to travel I guess...I got over 2000Km to cover
Just hope I'll manage to sign up my machine! Some details would be great, especially for the first timers (ie. myself!) on how the event is normally run etc...Comment

Hi Guys
The final details are being sorted and should be announced towards the end of next week. Already a great buzz and we know of quite a few new machines which sound very exciting so I can't wait.
Last year all the places were full within 48 hours so this year we are going to give you a date for when the sign ups will open to give everyone the best chance of getting in as a number of people unfortunately missed out.
Cant wait for the champs and keep your eyes peeled for updates!Comment

I thought you guys were looking to scale up depending on level of interest? Wasn't last year the biggest yet?Comment

And don't forget international entrants; your first Aussie competitor is keen to come over.
