Hehe, the Manoi drifted about the place, getting up to dance and scare a few of the peasants.

The Hexapod and Sir Kitt joined forces to annoy people properly.

At one point, a whole bus load of kids came along and stood 6 deep to watch the action.

There was also the toddler in the buggy who we approached, all seemed well until Sir Kitt stood up out of his chair. Never quite heard a scream like it.

Looks good fun. Appears that the RoboBuilders are now out numbering the other brands of himanoid Robots. Another year and we could have a whole football team of RoboBuilders.

I am Intrigued about "Orac's Sir Kit" - tell us more.

A great time was had by all at this years event, which was also well attended by visitors who were astonished by (and sometimes terrified by) Orac's Sir Kit.

Sonic Robobuilder Huno suffered a thigh injury:

And an unplanned football/kung-fu all in one match ended in exhaustion by all

I will be at a wedding on that day. Unfortunately it is too far away from Birmingham to be able to pop in on the way. Shame because it will be the only one I have missed since we started these UK meetups 3 years ago.

Hope you all have a great time and take loads of Vids & Pics.

We are now no longer coming along. We haven't made much visual improvement on the bots and I've a million home DIY jobs to do that I keep postponing.

The November meet should be more likely.

You are most welcome - we have advertised your presence, and I suspect that there will be the usual huge interest in your bipeds. If no Biped competition as such, then a few demo sessions would be good, in between other events.

Can you believe that this will mark the third year anniversary of the "UK Robo-One".

How time flies when you are having fun.
