are you going to trial this at the aws?
would be good to test out a new event style at one that clearly already works

Its going to be a stand alone event, not enough time at an AWS to do something of this scale.
A few days before the event, I will draw the teams randomly from the hat from the competitors on the list (random number generator), so it gives you a chance to put a team colour on your robot. you may chose just some coloured tape, painted panel, weapon, or dunk the whole robot in a tin of dulux, just needs to be the correct colour to keep track of teams.

This looks like it could be fun- I really enjoyed the heavyweight version of this event so count me in.
If nobody else wants to I'll fill in the other captain spot.

All yours Will
So, Joey, Will and Jack, need team names and colours (not blue or black).

Thanks Dave, in that case I'll choose red as our team colour and I'll think of a name and get back to you.
Just signed up with Inertia 2 &3 and I'll bring Quake along too for the non spinner stuff.
