AWS 49 - Coventry - April 30th 2016

[BeligerAnt]

Sorry everyone, my trip to France was cancelled so you'll have to put up with me at the AWS!

Thanks for the help Gary and glad you will be able to make it.

That's brilliant Gary (obviously not the not going to France bit!), glad you're going to be there to help out when I inevitably dear the AntLog up

We're still working on the final details of the event (apologies!), but I can tell you the following:

> Arrive by 10am (ideally) for a start time of 11am. We'll be going more or less straight into the AWS; the FWS, nWS, and any other fights will happen afterwards, in that order. We should be done by 5pm - hopefully with the aid of AntLog it'll all run smoothly.
> Streaming is on, but details to be confirmed by Scott as he's in charge - if you can't make it, stop by and say hi in the chat!
> We'll (i.e. me and Tracy) be staying at the Ibis Coventry South, which is within walking distance of the school - if anyone else is staying on the Friday night, does anyone else want to go for pizza or something similar?

Hi all!

I've just updated the first post of this thread with the schedule and stream information. Looking forward to seeing you all this weekend. If you can't make it, please come and join us on the stream!

If anyone's trying to reset their Antlog password, I'm sorry I seem to have broken that feature yesterday!
Send me an email or PM and I should be able to send you the reset link. Hope to have it unbroken soon...

We hope to have more than the two entries I`ve signed up so far and we`ve also got a flea up and running (Zoni).
Looking forward to it!

Antlog password reset is working again now
Apologies to Dave W and Andy B for the inconvenience.

Thanks for the hard work Gary .

May I please bring everyone's attention to this sentence from the original post:

"Please only sign up Antweights on AntLog. Nanos and Fleas will have a separate sign up on the day."

If you have more than 4 robots signed up on AntLog, we will be contacting you to ask which ones are your main ant team. Similarly, if you sign up a flea or a nano, it's going to be entered in the main competition which is going to cause us extra work when the error is realised and we have to remove it.

Thanks for your co-operation .

Scott, it's probably easiest just to delete the robots on the day. All entries have to be confirmed (usually during tech checks makes most sense) so it's easy to just confirm 4 and delete the rest.

It would help if people read the instructions though

Antlog does not enforce an entry limit since it could be used for non-AWS events where a larger team size is allowed, or a smaller limit may be required in the future...
Similarly, it is perfectly legal to enter a flea into an antweight contest (if you're brave!) so it's not prohibited by the program. I do plan to add an "Are you sure?" popup if the robot class doesn't match the event class, but it won't be done this week!

Hi all!

Sign-ups will be closing at midnight on Thursday. In order to make our lives easier, please ensure you have signed up by then!

Additionally, if you know any roboteers who seldom visit the forum or who haven't signed up yet, please give them a poke for me .

Thanks!
