[DirtyRoboto]

DirtyRoboto is up for this event. Takeshi will be most pleased to come and play for the day.
We look forward to meeting you all.

Marcus.

P.S.
Hey! can we get some numbers for the record? Like how many RN's were present at the first UK RN-fest. And can we get some comp going for the best RN this or RN that.

[srobot]

Hi,
Is it only for RN-1s? If all robo-ones are invited I'll taking my Manoi AT01 (I should have it by Aprel 2007). Does any body know when it will be? If its next summer (Like May, or June) I'll be there!!! So add 1 Manoi to the list.

Thanks

I think that any Euro Robo1 should be for all home built robots including Bioloid, Manoi, KHR, RN1 etc..

I suggest "home built" so that we don't have an abundance of immobile factory standard Robosapiens - although hacked Sapiens should always be be welcome.

Perhaps as well as the combat events we could have some freestyle robosoccer with different types of robot - RN1 v.s. Bioloid or even Bipeds vs. Hexapods may be fun.

Anyway - just some thoughts

[srobot]

Hi,
What months, days, etc. work out good for every body?

Thanks

I tried to organise this my self earlier but it was hard to get people to commit. the main problem is where!

I live in bristol and could possible hold it in the bristol robot lab but would have to find out. if people want it in london which is probably the best place do to getting they high number of people living there I wouldn't be much good organsing or finding a place.

still up for it, might even have my home build ready by then as well.

Just noticed this UK on the 30 June 2007 on robots-dreams.

http://www.robots-dreams.com/2007/01/the_summer_of_r.html

It may be worth contacting the organisers to see if there is space/a timeslot that we could use for a UK RoboOne.

Any thoughts?

[srobot]

Hmmm yes, well do we want this to be a free event, or do we want to have a small fee to compete, or do we want to have more of a show and have visitors pay a small fee to cover the costs? If we want it to have a fee we should have it at a hotel confrins room, or like Robo1 sayed have it at bristol robot lab (COOL) . (whould the lab even have us pay?) And as for free you guys in the UK would know best.

Thanks

PS - Where is bristol robot lab? Is it near London?

Hello

I got I touch with the organiser for the might mouse comp and this was the reply I just recieved.

Hi Bren

What you describe sounds fabulous! We would welcome you to come along and join us. You say you would pay towards the cost - I suggest that rather than cash, it would be very nice to support the Schools by donating a prize or two for best overall performance, or something like that, on behalf of your group.

I'll pop onto your forum and have a peek. We have our own forum http://micromouseonline.com, and of course the web-site at http://micromouse.tic.ac.uk

Lets keep in touch!

Regards

Subject: RE:You summer event

Hello

I belong to the robosavvy.com forum and we are trying to organise a summer
meet. We found out about your event on the robot-dreams.com site. We were
wondering if we could have a small area at your venue, 2 tables pushed
together would be all the space we require.

I feel that it would be good for your event as we can entertain the crowd
with your Humanoid robots, there would be 10 - 20 robots there and we would
also pay towards the cost of the event. the sort of events we are hoping to
do are a elimination fighting comp and a demo section including stair
climbing. the sort of robots that would be on show would mostly be
Robonova's, bioloid, Manoi, KHR series and also home built.

Hope to hear from you.

bren

So it looks like we have a venue and a date.

It should be a good day. I will provide a couple of small prizes for our section. I recon having a 2 min demo, fighting and maybe a stair walking bit.

Has any one got any ideas what we can donate for the contribution for there comp?

See you all there bren
