I make no secret of the fact that I am really, really, really into robot combat. It's one of the few things that I've been passionate about for my entire life. Robot Wars is The Best One and you will never convince me otherwise. So here's a thing.

There's a live circuit in the British robot combat scene. Basically, an arena turns up in a shipping container, is quickly bolted together in a sports hall, seating is arranged, and you get a shedload of robots beating the scrap out of each other. Then it goes somewhere else. Usually, they go to only the most exotic locales, such as Colchester, or Guildford. However, they're coming near me quite soon.

If people are willing to trek over to Maidstone on Sunday 28th October (it's about an hour on the train from London), there will be a live showing of Extreme Robots! at 12:00. Tickets for the event are around £20 a person. I'm going. Mel is going. Ix is going. I think all three of us would love to see whoever else shows up too. =]

So yeah! The show is ca. two hours long with a break in the middle, so afterwards we could explore the interesting things to do in Maidstone, which I am reliably informed numbers in at least the positives. Most of the time. Who's up for that? =]
