A week to go and only 7 teams signed up so far, I'd like to see more personally!

Don't forget that this is a great chance to test your 'bots out and get some real practice in before the AWS. I'm sure you'd rather find that problem at an event like this than in the final rounds of the world series ;).

I will be emailing them too.

Hopefully they are straight forward enough but if theres any confusion please let me know. My phone number is there too.

Update so far:
Arena nearly complete (hexagonal)
Outer Arena being supplied by Dave.
Start at 10am finish when we've had enough
Tea/Coffee/Squash and sandwiches etc provided.
Phone provider coverage should be fair to good, main wireless internet available but limited.

Assuming the internet in the venue is good enough, a stream will be provided on my uStream channel: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/epicentre

As with AWS39, there will be a chat functionality to the right of the stream so that viewers can chat with each other and the streamers/commentators. There will be two headsets for commentary/stream interaction, although as it's a smaller event I don't expect these to be manned at all times, but if anyone feels like jumping on and chatting to the viewers for a while you're more than welcome. Trying to keep it as informal as possible.

I'll provide updates in this thread as to the status of the stream, or if we have any issues.

See you all on Saturday :).

Thanks
