All signed up with Atom, now to actually finish the thing.

[teamshock]

How soon will the sign ups be closing? Still need to work out if I'm coming

[Ellis]

Same. ^

I have a tendency to build robots in a matter of a week or two so there's still loads of time to build something I can't yet guarantee.

(I do know Team 13 and RazerDaves Beetle is meant to be in in that list - just not signed up to the new system as of yet so there is at least another 2 to add to that list), possibly Rory and Alex B too. So we are approaching 30 robots. I think we may need to stop at 32.

Kind Regards,

There are still another 4 or 5 beetle weights that are attending which are not for competition but for fun filler fights.

More details coming soon...

[Niels - Team K.a.L.M.]

How I wish the dutch will embrace beetles... 36 beetles is a great achievement in less than 2 years.

[stu]

I'm sure we can tour over and bring the UK beetles with us one day ;-)

Also just a reminder - if anyone else wishes to take part in the competition, still sign up as you can be placed on the reserve list in case of last minute failures / tournament changes.

[suvv]

i can think of a few people who would gladly come over and do some show battles

[razerdave]

I wish I saw even 1/3rd of that at the live events...
