The sign up list for this is still looking a bit sparse and there are a lot of people who I know are going who haven't signed up yet...

A little point. I know people like to hold back on their entries sometimes so no-one knows what they're planning to bring til the last minute and sometimes because they aren't sure yet of their final lineup. However, the whole point of the sign up sheets is to give event organisers ideas of numbers, so surely its better to sign up with a few "TBCs" and let them know you're coming rather than wait til a couple of days before? Can always confirm names and such on the day.
Just a thought! I know there's still a good 2 and a half weeks to go but there's a big list of people who should be coming who are currently absent. Come on, Pete's got you a lovely new sign up to try! ;-)

We're pretty much just assuming a lot of people are coming; the estimate is currently ~150 robots across all the weight classes, so we're planning roughly around that.

I should probably sign up a few of the one's I definitely have though...

Quick, someone light the Collier-signal!

The page is throwing an error after a few lines: "Fatal error: Call to undefined function append_sid() in /websites/LinuxPackage05/ro/bo/tw/robotwars101.org/public_html/sidemenu.html on line 21".

This is the problem line:

<td><a href="<? append_sid("http://robotwars101.org/ants/"); ?>"><img src="http://robotwars101.org/antsbutton.gif" width="137" height="18" border="0"></a></td>

As far as I can tell it should just be

<td><a href="http://robotwars101.org/ants/"><img src="http://robotwars101.org/antsbutton.gif" width="137" height="18" border="0"></a></td>

But unfortunately web stuff isn't my strong point so I can't diagnose it any further than that.

This might be a long shot, but is there anyone with the ability to CNC a disk out of 2mm ti before the AWS in case my current plan doesn't come to fruition? Sadly it has to be CNC rather than laser/water cut as it has a pocket (stupid design I know, I've made a mental note not to do that again). I will of course pay for materials + time + extra.
