There is still an Arena (it probably needs a more solid roof built than the netting we used to use) in storage at SideTracked Entertainment Center in Oakleigh
It got packed up and put away because after I had to stop organizing events (after nearly 10 years doing them), it seemed that a lot of the builders couldn't be bothered keeping things going. Gary (Rotwang) tried hard to keep things moving, but without beating the bushes and encouragement, the less dedicated builders didnt show..
So, that was all a while ago now, and Gary has recently found some time to get his hand back in. If someone else is willing to organize events, I might build another bot myself too.
If enough keen builders can be found, it might be possible to convince Sidetracked to hold another event - they have rebuilt their dodgem car arena which would be a great place to assemble the robowars arena - but Im not going to run any more events myself..
Ill put in a good word to the owner of Sidetracked if Im convinced that someone has been found that will do a good professional responsible job of it, but I dont have the time or inclination to be what is essentially like being the host of a party. you work really hard to make sure everyone else has a good time, and barely have any time to enjoy it yourself.

So, prospective melbourne buiders, I just thought Id let you know that there *is already 90% of a ready built arena *and a great public venue for RoboWars events lurking in the background.. but you'll have to get a decent field of working builders and bots together *first, *and find a ringmaster to run the show. If you can do that, then Melbourne events *might come back to life. _________________ Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people
