Spectators are welcome but if numbers are big then we may have to make some arrangements, not been a problem for previous years though.

Nuts - four robots fight over a pile of plastic nuts for two minutes. Even funnier than it sounds!

Civil War - a new game that pits team members against each other.

Annihilator - as per usual rules, one out each round until we have a winner.

Gladiator - an easy game to add if we have time, there were 25 robots in at Southampton AWS can we break that record?

Can i ask a few questions about the competition since this is my first event:
1. Is there an entry fee?
2. Do we have to bring our own tables
2b. If we do do they have to be a certain size
3. Do i have to get my radio certified by someone or will i be fine (not done anything to it)

1. No, there is a small fee at some events, but it would be detailed in the signup post.
2. Nope.
3. Assuming it's a normal commercialy available transmitter no, anything sold in the UK will be certified.

just to confirm.
1. No, definitely no fees. Free parking too.
2. Tables provided.
3. Any UK legal equipment is fine but if you are using crystals then we`ll have to make sure there are no clashes, in which bringing extra sets of crystals is advisable. There isn`t many on crystals now though so shouldn`t be a problem.

Looks like this is the closest venue to where I live that you guys run events.

I'd like to come watch. There's no chance I'll have my ant ready to fight by then, but it still sounds fun.

If I can get a lift (I'm a scooter rider haha and a new one at that, not a jouney I'd feel super comfortable with not knowing the route at all) I'd like to. Will ask a couple friends see if anyone wants to do me a favour.

But.. If i can't, how often are these Midlands events? If they are semi regular then this will be the event I'm most interested in.
