Absolutely. I'm on Broad Lane near the University of Sheffield, and I know there are a couple of others around in Sheffield too.Comment

Stands back in Amazement -great to see the social thread activated again after 8 years.
Personaly I have allways felt its a great way to recruit new roboteers to the fighting robot world-
you can get loads of information online and blogging but you can get enlightend with a good
social -especially if someone brings along a robot or bits of one, for reference see my thread
on Have Socials Died a Death ? Sheffields a tad too far for me but anyone near York ?Comment

We are up north of Leeds but we are still in Yorkshire. I know someone else who is in Sheffield but I will let him post if he is interested.Comment

OK, how do we do the first date thing in robot wars? I was always a little crap at that with girls never mind this!
Is it usual to meet in a pub or somebody's shed?
So, your place or a pub? (my shed is in need of repair just now...)Comment

I'm from just north of Leeds too. If there's a chance to meet up and discuss ideas, count me in!Comment

If a few people were willing to travel up to Ripon one weekend (about 55 minutes from Sheffield, 30 minutes from York) we could put up our Beetle arena in the garage for some BW or Ant whiteboards and FW testing/white goods recycling. Pub after maybe?

That sounds fantastic, I'd love that at some point. Though it is difficult for me to get there, I don't have a car yet.Originally posted by EventorizonIan View PostComment

I'm not exactly sure what all that means but, yes sounds good and I can take some hitch hikers from here in Sheffield.
I'm sort of looking to be an apprentice 'bot builder so......Comment

That'd be great if you could give a lift - I'd want to finish my featherweight to bring it along first in any case - should be about two weeks-ish. I'm not sure when you guys want to meet, but by all means meet without me if you were thinking sooner than that.Originally posted by Tim The Plumber View PostComment

If I can meet some of you in the centre of Ripon, that could work out very well for me. Also, if anyone is passing near the Keighley/Skipton area on he way back, I could hitch a lift home with one of you.Originally posted by EventorizonIan View PostComment

Socials work best on a weekday evening 7.30pm is early enough to give robot builder time
to have tea and get to the venue if not too distant and the plus points are you'll miss the
evenings soap operas.
I could get to the ripon venue and add some input, My pub in York offers a free use of a room
for groups and I'm sure other town pubs offer the same or a garage is a starting point I guess.
I'm pretty sure there are more would be roboteers out there but if you are looking for tips and
meetings as a new face you might google Robot Wars rather than FRA
