Regarding the "food ban" I have been told that we must inform all the competitiors that they cannot have food in the main room (and I will reiterate this in the breifing). However if the weather is nice then you are free to eat outside on the deck which will still have a clear view of the ...

Also one more thing... SIGN UPS CLOSE ON THURSDAY (26th) AT 9PM!!

If you are not on the list by then you will not be allowed in the main competition.

Hi Guys, Here are all the details for Saturday The event will be held in the Meadow Suite at Park House on the main University campus and is signposted once you enter the campus.

I will be there with my ants but the beetles will be taking priority as they have the main competition. I am also promoting Shockbots on the day.

Update time!
