Unfortunately the July event has been cancelled.
It was foreseen that either this year or next years event would not take place to allow the construction of our residential home. Fortunately or unfortunately (depending on ones perspective), plans for the construction of a new home have been accelerated, and construction of the house will begin this summer. Obviously, an attempt to construct a new home and prepare for an event at the same time would be a huge undertaking. So it is that this years 5th anniversary event has been canceled. However, anyone who has a bot who would like to drop out to our acreage on the weekend of the 25th and 26th should do so. The arena will be up and open to any builders wanting to test out bots, smash stuff, have a couple of matches, or just sit around and chat about the weather. WBX V Anniversary event will take place in July of 2009!!

Pit area will remain open 24 hrs for competitors wishing to work on their entries. Competitors are reminded that WBX can not be responsible for lost or stolen items. Please lock up or remove items for safe keeping. Arrangements have been made for a number of tents which will form the pit area. Space may be limited, please be considerate and avoid placing bots, tools and other equipment where others may be working or walking.
Generators will be onsite to provide power for tools, chargers, lighting etc.
To accommodate competitors a LIMITED number of Bot carts will be available for moving combat robots to/from the arena. Please help keep these carts available to other competitors by returning the cart to the cart pit area immediately after use. The intent is to make cartage easier for those who must travel greater distances. If you are a local competitor or it is not an inconvenience to bring your own cart, please do so.
Chairs and tables will be provided. But if you can....bring lawn chairs!
The event will take
place in the Pike Lake area. The location is approximately 25 minutes from
Saskatoon, and approximately 10 minutes from Pike Lake Provincial Park. Full service
camping is available at Pike Lake Provincial Park. But of course for those who
shudder at the thought of roughing it a bit, Saskatoon is only 25 minutes away
with all the hotels etc. For those who are a bit more willing the following will
be available at the event......for FREE. A place to park your RV, trailer, SUV,
motor home or pitch your tent. Water suitable for drinking and washing will be
available at the event. However the water will be cold. Portable toilet facilities
will also be on site.
For those who like to cook their food over an open flame.....a large fire pit
will be open for use at all times. No need to bring wood.....we got lots! Just
bring your burgers or steaks. Alcohol will be allowed, please remember that
children will be around so drink in moderation, and please don't drink and drive
(cars or bots).
Updated Entry forms and Waivers will be posted soon
