[StuartL]

Assuming nothing critical comes up we will be there as usual.

[BillB]

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

How time flies when you are having fun.

[Orac]

Can't wait, maybe we should have some sort of 'theme' this time.

[Robo1]

I want to come and play.

Hopefully I can come over and kill you all with my full size bot he he.

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.

Planning on travelling up to birmingham by car from portsmouth, was wondering if anybody would like a lift up.

[NovaOne]

Sonic: Glad to hear you can make it.

NB To those it may concern: I can't bring the stairs to this one. Sorry

Possibly. My first name at braincell dot cx....

[StuartL]

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.

[i-Bot]

I will be coming . Will probably with both RoboNova and RoboBuilder.

Also I will now travel from and back to Reading, so I am up for sharing a lift with Sonic.

[BillB]

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.

Bill

A dog collar on my robot and we can conduct the ceremony, problem solved

[NovaOne]

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.
