Google Maps link: https://goo.gl/maps/CSJiHvcP7iy

Parking: Venue has a car park and there's street parking if car park full.
If you park on the street, be sure not to block the cars at the end of the street as it's a dead end road.

Arena: Unfortunately Peter Waller's arena is unavailable, so we'll be using the Bristol Bot Builders arena which is a little smaller than typical AWS arenas (it's 1m x 0.8m) just so you know.

Donations: We're running this event out of our own pockets, so we'd really appreciate donations from competitors to help cover costs. Suggested donation is £5 per team to either our paypal: http://bbb.gd/donate or cash on the day.

Thanks all! Any questions hit us up, and we'll see you all Saturday

Sorry for the Newbie questions .....

Travelling down from Scotland and staying overnight with friends on the way, do we need to be there for 9am sharp or is there a bit flex?
What (other than the obvious robots, controller, battery charger, us) do we need to bring?
Any other tips for a new family team with 8 year old appreciated!

Thanks
Jeff.

Hey Jeff,

Wow from Scotland! Impressive!!

The closer to 9am the better as we have to get through a lot of bot tech checks before we can start the fights.

I'd say bring an extension lead / 4 way plug, apart from that you seem good to go!

Not going to make it to this one. I was really hoping to, but life gets in the way etc... Hope to battle with y'all another time!

[Derek Dudge]

Best of luck to everyone going to this tomorrow! Sadly I got too much on this month for travelling that far this time. And my best bot is still not rebuilt from the last AWS haha.

Hope you all have a great day though and I'll hopefully see some of you at Ant Freeze 6.

Is someone filming at this?

[Zanbots]

Cheers guys. Had a great day out. Think I had a 6 in a row winning streak best run of luck so far. Feeling very satisfied as for a little while my robots ran to their potential.

A well run event that finished impressively early. Thanks to Joe and Dave. You ran it with charm and professionalism. And thanks to all the other Bristol bot builders who assisted with the event.

Congratulations team oink 1st and 2nd is a staggering result.

Thanks to everyone involved in putting this on, Craig (Firestarter) had a ball despite catching his finger.

Special thanks to Shakey for answer all our questions, Pete fit the acetate strip and all the other we talked to

We’ll definitely be back, hopefully with more robots and possibly some that are competitive

Just the 450 mile drive back home tomorrow now

Cheers
Jeff

Thanks all, glad you enjoyed it.
There were some fantastic robots and fights and you were all very patient with the quick turn arounds between fights
See you all soon at more events I'm sure.
