    Registration

    Please fill out the application form (available later) and send it back by e-mail. You will receive confirmation of your registration within 2 weeks. Unfortunately there is only room for a limited number of robots. Applications will be accepted on a first come, first serve basis.

    For a better show, we would like robots and roboteers to look their best. Please bring your €œintroduction music€ if available and wear team colours. Because of limited room, teams with heavyweight robots can bring no more than 3 people. Teams with raptors or featherweights, no more then 2.

    Competition

    Robots must comply with the FRA build rules. Competition will take place in the following classes: heavyweight, featherweight and raptors (6 kg, GRA rules; http://www.roboteers.orgwww.roboteers.org). Matches will be 1 V 1. Between final matches on the last day of the tournament a couple of specials will be organised, like flipper-frenzies.

    Dutch Robot Games will build its own arena, FRA-class 3, 6x6 meters. Spinners may be allowed, depending on available Polycarbonate screens, to run during the last session of the weekend. Final decision on this will be made in a couple of weeks.

        The dutch arena is making progress and all britisch robots are still welcome for this event. But Marien should post about how many places are left, cos i dont know. And ill be in Folkestone during this event.

        This is the design for the arena in Utrecht.

        The doors between the pullpen and the arena have been tested last weekend and work well.

        Some pictures are online:

          We still have room for 2 or 3 heavies. There is always room for feathers and raptors.
          Our preparation for the event is going well. The event itself is allready widely announced in daily newspapers and on national radio.

                  Lack of UK bots could also be something to do with the fact that it is on the same days as the Roaming Robots Winter Tour Finals!! :sad:

                      Not really enough notice for most teams and the fact that we had already signed up for the winter tour, but I remember the last time we turned up to a Belgium event so Id be careful what you say about english robots.
