I am a sucker for punishment.

Would likely be featherweights and/or sportsman depending on potential numbers. Please vote based on location and if you would attend assuming your available sometime Feb - July this year.

Will leave this open for a week then tally results.

Can you make it multiple choice? Because I'd have equal preference for multiple answers

8 is probably not enough bots for a public event. Maybe at the bare minimum but it might be too much to ask for a second event. What do people think would encourage outsiders to participate.

Ok so the majority don't care where it would be. Looks like we would probably have about 8 robots which is the bare minimum for a public event.

I am currently looking for any venue which would have us. Likely date would be 2/3 May.

If this counts anyone out let me know now pls.

That would only give me and possibly Glen a couple of weeks between competing in the UK, so attending depends on how much damage our bots get. Don't let it change your plans though.

Thats what I was thinking. I was going to go earlier but you will be in the US as well so I tried to make it as soon as possible while still leaving the possibility of you guys competing.

For you nick I don't doubt you will be able to get it up and running in a few days after you get back. With all the spares that you have surely you can't fit them all in luggage or shipping. The real question will be whether your interested in competing again so soon.

No bites for venue as of yet, or even an arena. Its still early days so don't go planning around it.

Totally interested! Last year, Mr Mangle was lucky enough to need zero repairs after the event, I just had to reprogram the weapon ESC. I probably won't be that lucky this year, but there is a chance that Shiny will be finished and I might have two bots to compete with - or Scissorhands could be brought back.

I wonder if Canberra would be easier, this is a pretty comprehensive list.
