Peter's right, Antlog considers each event as a single weight class, ie a single competition. Since fleas and nanos don't usually run double elimination it is easier to keep them separate.

Still only 18 robots signed up and less than two weeks to go.
It is hard enough for people to organise an AWS when you know who is coming but if everyone leaves signing up to the last minute it is difficult to plan the event in detail.
With such a big gap since the last event surly there must be more people intending to attend and with the antlog sign up you can always change your entry at any time.

On that note, if anyone is planning on coming but for whatever reason don't want to sign up yet - just comment on here to let me know :)

Doesn't matter if you don't know who or how many your bringing - but rough figures would really help :)

We shall aim to be there on 1st July. We shall bring the usual number of machines (~10) and shall sign up as soon as we know which ones they shall be. However, you can more or less confirm our attendance. Looking forward to it! :D

I'm really surprised by the lack of sign ups. Yeah theres Robots live on the same day but that shouldn't eat up the numbers of AWS regulars not attending. The silence from people on here lately hasn't helped either.

I'm coming. Generally there's a big surge in sign ups towards the end. I think most people are either trying to finish bots before they enter them. Don't worry, yes, the Grantham event is on at the same time, but I reckon you've just got to be patient. This event looks to be a lot of fun.

It is better if people sign up and then cancel bot entries on the day than not sign up until the day (if allowed).

Besides, if Peter's coming, he'll have enough bots for everyone! :lol:

I'm all signed up now. I'm really looking forward to getting back into competing after a long break.

25 bots signed up it's a ok amount I guess. People really like to leave things to the last minute or should I say week :P

So whats the over and under of people who are just going to show up without signing up on Antlog first?

Hey Guys, just done a test for the livestream and found an issue.

The cameras i have do not have a wide enough lense to properly capture the arena. Thus would anyone be able to help me out? - i have a laptop which will be constantly attended to attach it to, and if anyone has experience with these things itd be greatly appreciated.

Similarly i dont know how to put a 2nd camera for potential commentary on. If someone knows how to do that and wants to help out itd be greatly appreciated :)
