I presume we're not the only ones who have now not been selected? Is
anyone else just a tad pissed off at Mentorn? We received notification
of the filming dates and we phoned to confirm our entry, and then 2
weeks later we get turned down!! Did it really take them 4 months to
work out that they had too many entrants??

Are there any unofficial competitions going on? As I'm sure there are a
100 or more out of the 350 bots auditioned that now have no-one to fight
with. Is anyone interested in organising a Mentorn-free Robot Wars?

Gareth.

To all of the above,

do any of you ever read the off. board or adams (tinweb)?

there have been at least 5 events, I even hosted one! and on that point why
do YOU not host one?

It's not difficult you just invite people, they come, you have fun!
