PLAnts AND free spectating? I’ll consider dragging a certain seal along, but Bristol is a long way away and SOA has very little tracks :frowning:

Either way the footage will be interesting to watch.

Please note this event is at North Down Orchard in Crewkerne near Yeovil, not Bristol.

Consider the location noted!

It’s also worth noting that it’s not at Northdown Orchard, which differs from North Down Orchard in its lack of robot competitions and being in Hampshire.

Camping wise, are campervans welcome or just tents?

Have asked the farm will let you know but I’m sure it will be fine! EDIT - yes all good :slight_smile:

FYI for those bringing Ants, for this one we’re just bringing the “sandpit” open arena for casual non spinner fights in the evening (similar to rock & robots)

You’ve gone sandpit arena supremacy as well? A great choice, since that octagon is the best on the market! I even have one at home so the Seal Avenger doesn’t murder the floor of the room I lock it in when I’m testing the spinner.
