Dear Roboteers
We have some good news!
Dutch Robot Games will be confirmed back at Maker Days in Eindhoven 12th and 13th of September!!
Venue:
This time, Maker Days has moved to Klokgebouw Strijp-S and the pits will be inside. So the sun won’t bother you there.
Signups:
Signups will go live tonight, the 13th of July at 20:00 CET and will stay open a whole month until Thursday the 13th of August.
How will it work? Well nearly the same as last year, but here's a reminder on how it works:
You sign up via the form. It will be first come first serve, but with a catch.
If you bring a feather/raptor: Congrats! You made it in! (unless all the spaces are already filled, then you're first reserve).
If you ONLY Bring a beetle: We have limited specific Beetle slots that can be taken up. When these fill up, you will go to the reserve list and if there is space left by the end of signups, you will get a message.
So bring a feather or raptor and be sure to get in! Of course if you bring one of the big bots, you can still bring along a beetle too!
Do note, we WILL have a Proof of movement! This now includes some extra rules so people don't just submit a plate with 1 wheel that doesn't translate! POM has to be submitted 2 weeks before the event, if you fail to, you lose your spot!!
We will be keeping the 2kj limit for this year, so make sure you tune down your weapon to be under the 2kj limit and submit proof in your POM (Calculations, proof of the MOI of the weapon, a copy of the weapon+pulley CAD so we can double check your calculations). We will also be checking the RPM at the event during tech checks!
Beetles:
For beetles, we will be supplying an arena from Marien (Team FFR/Bogbots). We thank him for taking it along. This will mean beetles have a place to fight. More information about what exactly the beetles will do, will come closer to signups.
We are also happy to give out Confirmed slots to the teams who placed Top 8 in the Feathers and Top 4 in the Raptors to defend their seeds! They will have reserved slots in the competition.
We expect to run a similar format as last year, so fight night saturday and top 8/16 for the Sunday + some side events. These will be confirmed closer to the date, so stay tuned.
If there are any questions, you can either message here or email me or Tim at secretaris@dutchrobotgames.nl or voorzitter@dutchrobotgames.nl .
We hope to welcome you in September for some robot carnage!
