Re: AWS55 - 30th June 2018 - Dunchurch Village Hall (TBC)

Post by cmalton »

I have just had confirmation (finally) from Dunchurch Village Hall - and am now awaiting the final set of paperwork for the hire contract. As with last time I ran an AWS, this has been a pile of risk assessments, copious emails and phone calls to arrange a venue - one that I hope we can consider using again in 2019 given its fairly central location.

As with last time I hosted, there will be a voluntary donation system in place to help me cover my costs with a suggested donation of £5 per team.

Hi Sam,

There is no requirement to pay to compete - we ask for donations to cover the cost of the venue and the associated insurance required for the event and suggest that people donate £5 per team.

To sign up, you'll need to use Antlog (http://antlog.garya.org.uk/event/10). You can enter up to 4 robots - however, we reserve the right to ask you to limit this number on the day if the number of 'bots in the competition means we're unlikely to complete all matches in time.

Sorry Chris, that's not right.

AWS rules state a maximum of 4 bots per team, and at least one of the 4 must be a clusterbot or a walker.

Mea culpa, having failure to remember rules.... You're right Dave.

I should be coming by train from Birmingham International
If anyone else going into Rugby by train wants to travel together and maybe share a taxi rather than the bus let me know. :)

Ah OK, thanks. So in that case, in the event of a team entering multiple Ants (meaning more than 1, which includes myself), at least one of them has to be a walker or cluster or does that only apply to teams where they are entering 4?
