Mark Naumann is the manager of SideTracked
Be Nice, play *safe*, clean up after you - someone make sure the pit area is left clean and be considerate of Sidetracked customers and staff if you want the option to use it in the future to stay open.
Whoever calls Mark and asks permission, please consider it to be *your* reponsibility to make sure everything is done properly. _________________ Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people

rather annoying news here
since the introduction of the rental bots, sidetraced has been getting a few hundred bucks outta them per weekend day. since they're getting such good profit from them now 'we' have to pay to use the arena to make up for their lost profit while we use it. did gary not give them the rental bots? and what really annoys me is the fact that if it wasn't for robowars, they wouldn't have the machines, or the arena, or even the idea in the first place. and to think they can't even let us use it one day of the year. so the events cancelled unless everyones prepared to pay over $100 _________________ http://au.youtube.com/user/crustydemonsully

Can't the competing rounds be slotted inbetween rental robot rounds?
And then shouldn't the rental bots make more money on that given weekend? There would need to be some additional overhead to ensure safe transitioning between the two, but I'm sure something could be worked out. _________________ They say that he crossed the fine line, from insanity to genius.

didnt sidetracked pay the multi thousands for that arena to be built AND build it themselves as well ;p
so that they could get roboteers to pay thousands to further promote sidetracked. now we're just left as if we did nothing for them. _________________ http://au.youtube.com/user/crustydemonsully

Hmmm well I think they are burning bridges a little there. Who do they think they are going to turn to when the robots need replacing..... _________________ Steven Martin
