Latest Signup Count:

146 Robots Total

106 Ants
22 Fleas
18 Nanos

Looks like the 150 total estimate isn't going to be too far off!

Alright, me and my family have just signed up now. Gosh, that's a lot of robots!

[Rapidrory]

Yeah, You guys and Ceri bring it up to 118 ants, which is getting close to the magic 128! :L

We can discount one or two people though iirc, I know Craig's not coming, and I'm also wondering if the system is counting the SQL errors as entries and indeed what weight class they are...

[Rapidrory]

I was just using a spreadsheet, so had removed the broken entries. And even taking in to account people it's still going to be the largest by quite a bit.

Everyone's worrying about timings but that'll be fine, especially with the early start and strict frames. Lets celebrate for a minute just how f'ing cool this is! Its a monster event guys, and we're the breeders

Dave's right. if it came to it though i'd rather drop a roller than my clusterbot. i will drop my fleaweight clusterbot to hurry things along if need be but i'd rather not if i can help it. zingo deffinitely wont be competing now so that's one less entry in any case.

I must say that this is looking to be one hell of a competition I know that there's at least 7 ants on the list which are not entering but even so I reckon we should still hit 100 in the main event even with a couple of robots not entering which is pretty damn cool!

I've got the plan under control for keeping everything running smoothly and will be testing the stream this morning to make sure its all working- I will then post the link here.

Also one more thing- sign ups close this evening so could any last minute entries please sign up soon!!

Yo Will; let us know if you need someone on the other end of the stream for testing purposes. Are you sticking with uStream or did you consider Twitch like I suggested?

We're in Manchester!
