We've got another installment of GRoCS (Gloucester Robot Combat Society), this time we have our 'own' arena (kindly donated by Matt Smith)
Deans Walk Inn is providing the beers (and somewhere to host the fights)
Spectating is free, entry to the tournament is only £5
Expect lots of robot fights, and probably spectacular destruction in the full combat event.
Format will be:
10:00 Arrive/setup/check in
11:00 Group stage NON-Spinner Plastic Ants mixed with 1v1 Full combat.
Plastic ants losers rumble(s) - last chance to get into the final 16
Plastic ants final 16 -
1v1 Full combat finals
1v1 Plastic ants finals
14:30 Open arena/White boards/Grudge matches
15:00 Packdown
A test box for spinners will be provided
Usual BBB/AWS Antweight and Plastic Ant rules apply (
https://bristolbotbuilders.com/guides/#ant_rules), we will be looking for safety pins/lock/bolt/cradles for spinning weapons to prevent accidental injury.
