Brighton Modelworld 2012 - 24-26 February

[Craig_Anto3]

I'm available all weekend and eager to be involved

I'm going to do some simple laser cut clear acrylic display cases for this event, Is there any preference to width, I've designed them to fit 4 robots at a squeeze and 3 at an angle. I could go larger or even single boxes, Thoughts? I can etch any detailing on them and even do some compartments for the rule cards we had one year if anyone thinks that would be useful.

I did consider doing them in 4 inch cube compartments so you can see how each robot fits in the cube but I'm not sure that is the best way to show off the robots for those that fit in at funny angles.

I'm there with R2 for all 3 days.

Hi Josh

Whilst it's nice of you to offer to make some display cases for Modelworld, we can't really make use of them

Unfortunately we don't have as much space as we used to a few years ago.
We use PeteC's arena for driving robots and demos, and my arena for static display. I also have a small display box which can accommodate 3 or 4 robots.
We really don't have space for much else

What about if we had a couple of steps to go inside your arena Gary? That way they could be arranged in tiers which would show them off a bit....that's if Josh is still desperate to build something

I've got some more high capacity batteries coming from Hong Kong and I plan to build a second Pants as it's always popular and I can make them pretty robust (well, the original lasted 12yrs!)

I'm available all three days of course Gary and Megan can help on the Sunday - no useful inset day this year!

If places are still available, I'd like to help out where possible on one of the days.

I can bring one or two robots with me which i don't mind people driving (if people can work tank steering!)

I can help out on Saturday 25th and possibly Friday 24th.

Thanks

Thanks

The friday would be really helpful if you can do it - we are always a bit short on the Friday....

[Deskconstructor]

Okay. I shall come and help on the Friday

I will definitely have one robot with me, so i will sign that up.

Are there any details i need to know?

Thanks

I'm on stand 61, I hope the ants are 62.

[BeligerAnt]

Yes, we're stand 62. Looks like we have the area to ourselves. Only slight downside is that it's where the pay-to-drive tanks were last year and they were complaining people couldn't find them
