It isn't competition, so you can't "enter" it.

We also run spinner demos and have plenty of robots on static display. We spend most of our time explaining antweights or discussing the death of RW on the TV!
If you get a chance to get along to Brighton Mini Maker Faire in September (assuming we get accepted!) you can see our demo setup which is very similar to Modelworld (and it's free to get into the Maker Faire!)
If you are still interested and are willing to give up your robots for a day (and if there is space etc) talk to "BeligerAnt"
Welcome to the forums, any pics of your robots?

Since antweights don't make much of a spectator sport (without big screens etc) Modelworld is more of a let visitors have a go, talk to people, do a few spinner demos etc event.

Keep an eye on the Events section of the forum for announcements of forthcoming events. The next definite competition is AWS42 which will be held in Bristol late October/early November. However, there is also talk of reviving Reading Robot Club and/or Richmond Fighting Robot Club, both of which would make a great intro to antweight competitions.

We will also be running a demonstration stand at Brighton Mini Maker Faire in September, although sadly there is a £5 entrance fee this year (children free).
