Friday is for testing, whiteboards and passing tech checks so everyone is ready for first thing on Saturday. The competition is the same as previous championships where there is a league system, 3 battles each and the top x robots go into the knockout stages late sunday and monday with side competitions at the same time.

It can be a LONG walk to and from the car park to hall 20! If you are lucky, car parks N2 and N3 will be open (they weren't for the last year's GSL event). Even then its not a particularly trolley friendly trip. If you have to park in the E car parks like I had to last year, just forget all about trolleys!
For the past events at GSL, James had free parking permits but since this is Insomnia, they may not be available. I also found that if you are leaving the event late, the parking gates are often unattended (again, don't count on it).Comment

We won't be able to be there friday before 10:00, will it still be possible to get our stuff inside?Comment
-
going from past experiences with the nec probabily not! unless you can get your stuff in through the front door all in cases or something? - they never open the loading doors to let you bring stuff in once the publics in unfortunatlyComment

Yeah you can bring stuff in but it will have to be through the main doors, and probably all in boxes with no sharp edges or tools showing.Comment

If anyone's in on the Friday and can lend a hand, I'd appreciate anything at this point - run into some pretty big problems with hw3 and I've not got time to sort it out until literally being at the event
Unsure if it's dropout worthy... But I've mucked it up enough that I might have to -_-Comment

I'll help out whenever I get a spare moment - not sure how much use I'll be though!Comment

I'm a reserve so I should have time - know I'm not the most experienced but am happy to help out with whatever I am able to!Last edited by dotDominic; 25 August 2017, 00:42. Reason: Removal of 'only a reserve' - don't mean to sound jerkish, just that I probably won't be having lots of repairs to be making!Comment

All my fights are up on YouTube and FB page. One or two worth a watch. lol. Wish to thank everyone for welcoming me, the robot and my family to the event. Despite a few problems with them being under 16....
Massive shout out to the Coopers, realise I wasn't first choice and was only there to make up the numbers. But hopefully Luna-Tic offered some unique drama and entertainment. I loved every minute, the "anti-robot wars wife" even said she enjoyed it and has a new love for the sport and community. LT is battered and bruised but not out yet!! Roll on more fights!!

Well what an event! Thank you all ever so much for supporting us and coming along! There were so many epic battles, it was a really good championships with one half of team Carbide vs team Eruption meeting again. I was really impressed by the quality of the machines this year so i wanted to let you know we are always excited to see what you guys turn up with. Well done. Congratulations to the Eruption boys for a well deserved win taking on all those spinners! Well done Dave with 722. Proving its still a lethal machine. Well done Adam with Amnesia. Very well driven machine! Finally congratulations to Dennis with Equinox for taking a well deserved Annihilator Trophy and Rory with Aegis for a stand out performance in the Gladiator! Congratulations.
A big thanks also goes out to the judges and those who helped set up & take down. We really appreciate it.
Finally we are already putting together plans for next year. I think the event as a whole with the seating, sound and graphics on all those screens was a real step up. We are working on how we can make things even better for next year. We are mulling through plans for the arena and we will certainly be looking at both the competition & build rules to make amendments.
Well done everyone and thank you again! Oh in all the excitement we forgot to give out prize money to the podium positions of the championship. I'll paypal you 3 later
