Well, my Bioloid is a little far off being ready to compete in a Robo-One comp, seeing as though I just got it last week!

But a London Robosavvy meet would be cool.

[Pev]

Cool idea - I am ready to go for it although it will be pretty basic an RN-1 or Bioloid

Organizing a formal Robo-One conference would require considerable initial investment in advertisement, rental, building stage props, a project manager for 2-4 months working with Japanese and Korean Robo-One organizations.
Some cost could be saved by having it in conjuction with some other general audience conference..

A full-blown ROBO-ONE type event would be difficult and premature, but there's terrific merit to staging smaller events to get the ball rolling. They don't even have to be real 'competitions'. Just a few people getting together to share common interests and ideas is great.

Some of the most fun, and most productive, sessions I participate in are just a group of builders getting together monthly to practice. Frankly, there is very little actual 'practice' that goes on. Almost all the time is spent catching up, trading stories, and asking each other about problems or ideas. It's kind of like the Robosavvy forum on fast forward. It doesn't take much in the way of organization, time, or money, and everybody wins.

It would be difficult for me to participate in EU meet-ups, or US for that matter, but I would be there in spirit. If people are serious about it we might even find a way for Robots Dreams to pop for a round of beer (make mine cold, please) or something a little more interesting.

I would definitely be up for an informal meet. I'm sure we could all learn a lot from each other and come up with some good ideas for new projects/mods.

How many ppl would be interested in a London get-together?

The thing is we haven't quite decided if it'll be before Christmas, or if we should wait 'til after... How soon where you thinking of getting things together? It might help narrow down our choices.

I;m free most weekends. I live in bristol so getting to london is no problem, just have to get the little one doing something impressive before then.

Would it be a mere meeting or should we carry some stuff ?

I would being my KHR-2,
