Guys,
General schedule for the day:
10am Arrival starts, check in, tech checks, etc
11am Draw for round one and start competition.
01pm Lunch break
04pm Competition ends and presentations.
05pm Committee Adjourn to a nearby cafe or pub.
I'm hoping to do double elimination for the event, rather than a warm up.
If you don't think you can be there for 11, please let me know when I can expect you - we can structure the draw around that.
There will two arenas. One will be used for fighting while the NEXT fight will be getting ready to go as soon as the current one is finished. We have a lot of people coming, so we have to get through a LOT of fights. If we finish early we can use both arenas for some fun.
Here we go.....

Pete, can you do double eliminantion when the number of entries is not a power of 2 - without having loads of byes?
I'm happy to go with it as long as someone knows how to run it for an arbitrary number of entries!
(If anyone does - please explain!)
BTW the Team BeligerAnt battlebox is now finished - pictures and details of how to make an arena to fit in it coming soon!

I'm going on the principle that there will almost certainly not be a full compliment of robots. There are currently 36 robots entered (excluding the superants) so we only need 4 to fail to turn up or not work (or we could just disqualift PeteW ).
If not, we will have to think of something else.....
BTW, I've just gone through the frequency list OH MY GOODNESS!!!! Can you people not buy different frequencies!?! Its going to be very tricky to assign frequencies prior to the fights being drawn.

If there's more ants than a double-elimination set-up warrents for, wouldnt the draw just dictate which ants have to have a three-way melee for their fight? That would solve it wouldnt it? Also, if its only one-on-one in the main competition, why do you need loads of crystals?
If the trains run well, we'll be there between 11 and half past...should be closer to 11 though.

Not sure what time i will be in, will try and aim for 10
I also have a 5th ant, this get complicated sorry, anticide may not be ready i have a motor winging its way to me curtisy of craig, if it does not arrive anticide will not compete. If it does anticide will fight and the 5th robot called Tink will be a 3rd ant for team JAG.
The other point is that the disc from Kwijebo was sent this morning, if this does not arrive then the ant will not compete. Sorry this is so hit and miss. I am not sure if i can have internet access on firday night, staying in london. If so i will make sure my entry list is correct.
6 hour journey, looking forward to it
for some strange reason my girlfirend also wants to come along, so two in the team
