Ill be there with mantis, and if we finish him in time, disobidiant.
Note- I want to change my team name because my other is really stupid and random- Is this OK?

What does it mean by dietary requirements?

You can change your team name, they are not really important ni the world of antweights. However, it's best to choose a good one and stick with it - less confusion all round!

Dietary requirements are whether you are vegetarian, allergic to nuts, etc. i.e. you have specific requirements for your diet.

Thanks beligerant. Does that mean they supply food?

Yeah they do supply food, hence they ask about dietry requirements

I have noticed that there are three shows.
Saturday...18:00
Sunday.....12:00 and 15:00
They haven't said what time to arrive yet but unless we are allowed to arrive early on the Saturday it looks like we will have more time on the Sunday if you can only make it on one day.

Kudos here http://www.robotslive.co.uk/index.php?o ... &Itemid=14

The Reading Robot Club will also be attending the event, demonstrating and fighting Ant-weight robots. These little robots weigh in at just 150 grammes and are a great way to get into the sport.

You can Arrive when you please, but you will be hanging around until 18:00 to have an audience which is what we want.

I'll be thereall day to help set the arena up

Is there an entry list any where for the antweights. I know it always changes a bit on the day but at least I could start to get the list together.

I'm not sure about that Peter, the sign-in was down when I tried it, but others used it successfully.

Can I shout out to all antweight roboteers coming to this event, please bring plenty of batteries and chargers, I want to run all day for both days, which is a bit longer than the three minutes that most of you (except veterans of Brighton Model World) are used to. I get very bored having only my robots left after two or three hours, so as well as your competitive ants, bring something along that just about fits in a four inch cube, is a little overweight, but runs off a 9V Duracell or very large LiPo and runs all day!

I don't know if I'll be able to cobble together more than Jigsaw Puzzle and LYT to be honest

I've got a fair few spare lipos and just obtained a new lipo charger as well, so I'll bring along all those.
