a FAQ sheet is a good idea.
I was fiddling around with the idea of adding some WIKI pages to the RoboWars site for that sort of thing. (a WIKI is a user-editable set of web pages), so everyone can contribute to the bit they want,
Some examples of RoboWars Wiki's are here..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robot_Wars
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlebots
If anyone feels like updating those Wiki entries with some info on the scene in Australia, go ahead, but try and keep it professional sounding and neatly done.. I've bean meaning to add some links to our site so people know its happening here in Aus, but havent got to that yet. Theres a promotional opportunity
Does anyone like the idea of a RoboWars Wiki (and willing to contribute to it ? Its kind of like the Ultimate Guides section, but would look more like a web-page rather than a forum)

Perhaps we could compile a list of the top questions people ask about bots and I will type something up when I'm in one of my mega-post moods..
If that seems like a good idea, start a thread on suggested questions for a FAQ sheet and once the dust settles, I'll see about filling in some answers in my wordy style _________________ Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people

Sure. Normally I wouldnt publicly post someones private email correspondence, but I did mention to her that I could contact the local builders on her behalf and she agreed with that, so here you go..

Hi Brett
Thanks for your informative email. - Can you give me a rough estimate of the costs involved in conducting a full RoboWar?
The Ideas Festival program aims to provide 70% of its content free to audiences and so our budget is limited, however, I'd like to pursue the possibility of conducting a Robowar a little further.
Are there any conventions or annual events that your members may be involved in that could be housed through the Ideas Festival? The dates are : 29th March - 2nd April 2006.
Failing that we'd be interested in demonstrations and exhibits possible from the local 'Robowarriors' (is that a term you use?).
Regards
Janet
