Signing Up to Gadget Show Live

[typhoon_driver]

Not going to bother with robots this year. Got too much work to do on stuff on my new place and the money would be better spent sorting out my new garage / workshop. Plus I don't have a machine that would be good to go without a good bit of work thrown into it.

That's a shame Gary. Did you sell Boner in the end?

[typhoon_driver]

No I still have boner and 540 but both would require a bit of work to get into a fighting condition.

Guess I'll take a break from robots for the time being but I'll still be hanging around the forum.

Any news on this years event yet? as I need to book time off work and get the hotel sorted asap or have to pay over the top prices.

[Eventorizon]

I hope James doesn't mind me saying but he told me the other day that it will be soon but delays are being caused by the event being in a different place than last year. This means they have to remake and design the lay out from scratch rather than just saying 'we will take what we had last year'. I don't know if its just a small move or a different hall altogether but it should be soon.

[Flag Captured]

By a move, do you mean within the Gadget Show Live still, just to a different part of the event?

[Revsmin]

Within the GSL, either somewhere else in the usual hall, or to a different hall. I'm waiting for details too, got to confirm the arrangements with my driver!

[PJ-27]

If it's any help Clive we know its the GSL weekend 9-13th April, so just book off that weekend and book a hotel for then.

What time does the event normally finish on the last day? I have to get back to Heathrow and then Gibraltar the next day, or possibly fly direct from Birmingham.

[razerdave]

I think 5 pm would be absolute latest, the last comp fight probably an hour before (whiteboards, tests and demos, plus trophy presentation after that.

[Ellis]

I'm pretty sure the event is from the 10th-13th, and if not, 11th-13th.

[SamO]

Maybe not, I think its 9th-13th : http://www.fightingrobots.co.uk/cont...h-to-13th-2014

[Ellis]

That would be a 5 day event, at longest it'll be 4 days of actual robot fighting. Says below that details are yet to be confirmed.

[SamO]

Didn't think about that LOL, just reading what it said. Next time I'll initiate brain first

[PJ-27]

The GSL is a 5 day event, but the UK Champs is normally Fri and Sat qualifiers and Sunday finals.
