Let's not wait for Greanz. It might never happen, IMHO.

So, does anyone want to host AWS26?

I think Aug maybe bad due to holidays and the huge amount of people at a public event. There is normally only enough room around the arena for antweight roboteers, let alone the general public.

Saying that i'll be on holiday from Mid Jul-end Jul.

We could always have RRC at the start of July, just before AWS26. Then have Craig's venue in Aug. This would mean AWS26 would have to be about the 2nd weekend of July.

Edit: Have checked and I will most likely be away from Jul 17th until the end of Jul.

If the AWS is going to be in the second week of July, I will be unable to attend, as I fly out to Las Vegas on the 12th July. If RRC is done the first week I can attend that

August is a really bad time as so many people are on holiday. If you can't do June/July it's better to wait for AWS27 (October/November).

I think I ought to wait and do AWS27, June and July are really busy for me, what with the K*bot world champs and numerous FW events

That's great Dave. See if you can firm up a date, it might end up being AWS26 anyway!

I might be able to sort something out for AWS 26 in June/July again. I'll have to see if there are any dates free at the venue...anyone have any specific preferences?

Craig didn't come back to us on this, and he's running a major competition at the end of August as well (perhaps instead???) as this

So are there any other offers to run AWS26? we're thinking of running RRC15 on 12th July, but this could be changed if it doesn't tie up with AWS26?

Anyone else for AWS26?

Simon
I'm still offering to run it on the 9th, the event on the 9th is the prelude to the TV event
I was hoping that at some point i could run the AWS as part of Rebel Robots??? but thats upto you guys i'm going to run ants anyway, i'll post in the rebel robots thing after i post here.
