    Roaming Robots Summer Camp 13 - 20th Aug 05


    Date - 13th to 20th August 2005
    Venue - Thorpe Park, Surrey, in their 900 seated arena.
    Accomodation - We will be providing an RR campsite facility at a local campsite.
    Shows - 4 x 1 hour long shows per day.
    Tickets - Tickets will go on sale for pre booking, or can be purchased within the park, however we are looking at a price of £2 or £3.... a bargin for the action provided.


    This will be a pure robotic entertainments week with allsorts of things happening.
    We hope to have, all weights attending, pay to drive / audience participation, mechanoids, boxers, and any other interesting robotics and features very welcome.

    The event will be filmed for DVDs, including a live mix projecting the action onto several plasma screens in the area so no one misses one second of the action.

    All being well we will be providing, appearance fees, and food and drink throughout your time at our Summer Camp.

    This is a very exciting venture, with some major plans to spin off from it for 2006, which may see a European Championship, full combat event return to UK soil next year. So certainly watch this space.

    We need to gain roboteers interest, comments and suggestions before it is finalised and formally launched to the world.

    Feel free to express interest, comments and suggestions here or email them to me at john@roamingrobots.co.uk.

    As the shows will run from Saturday to Saturday, it is obvious with work and other commitments you may not be able / want to attend all week, however, just let us know what days you are potentially interested in attending.

    Nearer the time we will be organising it as such to try and get an even spread of robots throughout the week.

    In principle we will be staging a 1 hour show, 4 times a day which will be repeated throughout the week in the same format.

    Lets make it happen.

      ok, be good to see you both... feel free to tell the other foreign roboteers, everyone is more than welcome.

      Dont book a ferry until it is 100% finalised though

        Any chance of Antweight participation if we can drum up enough entries. The Aylesbury event seem to work well and over the sort of time scales you are talking about the ants could be run at a different times solving the frequency problems.

          yes you would be more than welcome, and with the plasma screens for viewing, it would work very well.

          feel free to drum up as much interest as possible, and keep us informed with progress.

                    In any case I checked up at work and there is a reasonable chance I can get the days off.

                      Quote from the Colossus page: For safety reasons guests must be properly secured in the seat, which may not be possible for some guests with larger Torso or thigh measurements.

                              Any ideas as to how much appearence fee you will be providing? And are we free to wonder around the park and go on rides when not needed? (or perhaps, do we get standard tickets?)
