[james...venom]

Hi Guys

We are really pleased to announce we will be one of the big attractions at this years huge Insomnia Gaming Festival over the August bank holiday weekend from the 26th to the 29th. The Friday will be open for demonstrations and testing before the competition kicks off on Saturday until Monday! We are going to test a new format for this event which gives everyone lots of battles in 1 big league system. We can only accept 30 robots for this first event so initial sign ups are now open via the link below. Entry fee is £20 for the first robot and £10 per robot there after. Successful entries will be announced very soon. Fingers crossed its looking likely that this will be an annual event with potential extra dates each year. We are really excited and hope to see you there!

Unfortunately it looks like I won't be able to make this one, the cost of hotels for that weekend on top of the petrol and entry fee is just a little too much considering the busy month I've got lined up. It's a real shame considering I've been working on Inertia XL ahead of next years UK Champs.

Just signed up with the flukiest doorstop on wheels.

Its been announced that the Gadget Show Live will not be coming back next year which is a shame as we loved hosting the nation championships there each year. Fear not though All being well this event at the UK's largest gaming event should be an annual event with the potential of up to 3 events per year!

Its a real shame you cant make it but I fully understand, we have always appreciated the efforts you guys go to in the past.

All depends if I can get my first bot finished in a month - it should be possible though. I'll enter if there's still spaces left, but yeah I really hope this does become a yearly thing. I've been to Insomnia before and I loved it.

All signed up :P

Can't make it I'm afraid. We have a big event in Belgium in October and we need all our robots fighting fit for that.

It's a daft few questions but is it a spinner featherweight event? Is it at the Birmingham NEC? and also, would you be picky about me bringing a wooden box with a scoop on, or will places go to more exciting robots first such as spinners and lifters (as they do at GSL)?

[Flag Captured]

Will we be needed all three days? May have difficulty making the Sunday...

Note: I'll leave the robot with a teammate to drive if I can't make the Sunday but it's now looking a fair bit more promising...

The real question is, where are people going to be staying

[Garfie489]

Tbh, im considering commuting each day because £100 for 2 nights seems to be the cheapest going

Glad to hear that it looks like 3 featherweights a year
My workbench is currently covered in feathers but this definitely gives me impetus to finish

[Pinski1]

Too little notice for me, shame.

I won't be able to take part but I'm going to insomnia anyway! I'll look out for you haha
