richmond fighting robot club (28th March 2009)
hi guys
me and my dad came up with the idea of a robot event in richmond (where im from)
it would have football, assault course, sumo, non spinner and spinners
the place we are thinking of holding it in has parking outside (free!) a field for the kids to play in (if they want ) a kitchen ( i smell my mums sausage sarnies) and the hall is a reasonable size
we were thinking of holding the 1st in February or march and the 2nd in november or december
so, what do you guys think good idea or bad idea

Thanks Craig, I believe you're referring to this thread... Give us a date Craig, and as long as it doesn't conflict with something else then the answer will almost certainly be yes. I know you're heavily involved in your Rebel Robots event, so perhaps we can discuss it after that.
the committee still very much exists, because there are only about 10 active antweight teams at the moment, it seems to be easier to just let anyone onto the committee who wants to be on it.
See you soon anyway, and (in my opinion) the more forward dates we have the better. There's no need to wait for the next AWS before we can decide on the date of the one after that.

I was thinking the 7th March 2009, Burntwood Institue Centre, Burntwood , Staffordshire.
I've got an arena before anyone offers, and its 30in by 30in before anyone asks, I plan to run the AWS in the afternoon along with some demonstrations technical talks and workshops for the public.
Day for us should start around 10am with the pre AWS spinner friendly tournement, with the public coming in around 12pm.
Public will be kept seperate from the Pits, so fear of public interferance.
Public will be paying to come in I wont hide that fact from you, I am going to be trying to make some money out of this event.
Anybody who has anything to sell, ie from Pants kits to CNC parts to infamous sausage sandwiches are welcome to do so by application (sounds posh but just means i'll get u a table so therefore i need to know how many tables for trading i would need) I wont be charging anyone to come and sell or taking any commission so any money u make is all yours.
Sumo bots and alike can also be catered for if there are applications for them, its a big hall so plenty of room for those to run aswell.
Also I am planning a challenge robot competition, where you will need something new (without a weapon) to attempt a series of challenges along an assult course ie, Gauntlet series 1-2 but thats got to be desided.
The nearest airport is East Midlands airport about 45 mins away.
Hotels in the local area are sparse but there are some around.
How does that sound?
