I've done an event report (shock! horror!) at http://picus.org.uk/events/2015.html - I took far more pictures than those on the website so if anyone needs any of their robots just drop me a line on the forum or email. On a similar note, if anyone has video of the Mecha-Spall "vs." Test Robot Please Ignore fight, I'd love to see it! XD

Where in Somerset would it be Rory? I'm kind of sizing up hotels and travel arrangements already...

Us too. A date for the next one sooner rather than later would be great, but I know you're waiting on confirmation for when term officially breaks up.

They are the two dates he is debating I think. I believe it just depends when his last exam is.

On one of those dates I will still be 29, and on the other I will be 30. How terrifying.

On one off those dates I will be 68 and on the other still 68 so 30 sounds good to me.

Hi folks!

Just want to say what a great time we had on Saturday at Reading. As I mentioned to a few people, I did cybernetics at Reading (graduating in 1996!). We came up with the kids, and my old friend from secondary school - a reunion in a couple of ways.

Thanks for the friendly welcome and inclusion. Sorry if my kids were running around a bit. I don't know if the call to stop running around was directed at them, but we did tell them not to anyway.

I thought it was a really well organised event. I thought Will did really well on the commentary, plus those doing antlog etc, and was amazed for the instant replays. I've done multi-camera live event streaming, and would be interested in what software was being used.

Thanks too to Harry - Team Panoramic for uploading the video (so quickly!). Since we were out relatively quickly, we decided to start our 3+ hour car journey early, so it was good to see the conclusion of the event!

Looking forward to the possibility of coming to future events! Hopefully I won't have to spend too much now on robot parts!
