In the past we just mixed up everyone as trying to get battles where every opponent was different is difficult enough let alone making sure seeds don't meet each other. I will have a look into it though. It may be that seeds get 2 battle split and 2 none split.

Are sign ups full? And if so can we get a list?

[RobotExtreme]

What about we start a European ranking in FW class? Same points of UK championship could count to final ranking. A absolute ranking could exist since we have oficial information and last 5 yeas ranking, last 3 years and last year ranking.

How are the sign ups looking James/Grant?

When can we expect to see the draw?

[psychostorm]

Well the draws are normally left until quite late in proceedings to allow for drop outs or last minute entries / substitutions. The entry list may as well go up when there's enough to run the contest.

Need a hotel thurs fri sat .... any ideas wheres everone staying ???

[SamO]

We're staying at the Castle Bromich Inn. Fair price and good food right next door. Only a 5 or 10 minute drive to the NEC as well

[plargen]

we went for the sheldon travel lodge it was a good price when we booked bit its gone up a fair bit since then and its just sort of 4 miles from the nec

[Flag Captured]

I'm in the Birmingham airport etap/ibis budget, seems dirt cheap compared to everywhere else I looked, and appears to be just a short walk away from the NEC, according to their site and the maps they've put up...

[razerdave]

There's a reason Ibis are dirt cheap...

[RobotExtreme]

For last 2 years i stayed on IBIS airport, nothing to complain.

Obvious we cant expect a 5* hotel, but to just sleep and take a shower its the best you can get for that price. Clean room, tv with a few channels, paid internet.


The best way to NEC is across train station, take the shuttle from airport to station and walk to NEC, you have indications. Will find a "gate" where you need of show your pass.

Last and only time I slept in an Ibis at Gatwick, the bed was like sleeping on concrete!

Sign ups will be closed this Friday! Any last min entries please get them in quickly. The draw will then take place live on the Robo Challenge Facebook page on Monday 31st March
