Beyond Cyberdrome is an annual event held at the British National Science Fiction Convention (Eastercon) where people compete against each other using robots mainly built from scrap toys, Lego, and K'nex. Each year has a different theme. As well as the main event, we run a robotics workshop (AKA chaos robotics, AKA the Susan Calvin Robotic Assembly Playroom, AKA SCRAP) during the con where those of you who are as disorganised as us can throw a robot together at the last minute.
New: We've created a Livejournal Community for news announcments and discussion of the projects you're working on.
Here is what we have planned for 2008: BC: The Great Crystal Cyberdrome Exhibition
Here is our write-up of 2007's event, BC: I'm Sorry I Haven't a Robot (The Intermission Games).
Here is our write-up of 2006's event, BC: Pirates! (Arrr).
You can read more about Beyond Cyberdrome in general and the past events (up to
2003 anyway) on Ye Olde Oute Date Beyonde Cyberdrome
Webbe Site.
Apparently we do have some photos of the 2004 and 2005
events, and are hoping to bring the site fully up to date at some point before
the heat-death of the universe.
Here are a few things you might want to avoid saying in the presence of the committee to avoid worrying them unnecessarily.
