Gadget show

[cupracing]

Attended the gadget show today, was fairly good. Nice to see a chap doing 3d in the arena with some cool night gear. Adam I think his name was, did a nice routine. Was dying for them to call me up so I could have a go.

Anyone else been or going?

It was a great, I got loads of pics. Funny with Jason and Ortis throwing the toy RC helis haha... Will post the best when I've done editing.

And yeah, I wanted a go too ahaha, would be funny when we land it perfectly :).

Grant and the rest of the Robo Challenge team were great, a nice behind the scenes look, I knew why I wanted to get into robot combat and I'm thinking of looking into it again! A very popular stand and their arena and robots were amazing. The dragster and opti ducted fan bike were sweet!

Sweet display with the 450X by Adam!

I got a go on a Canon 1D X, Canon 600mm f4L and Canon 800mm lenses! :) 14FPS, jizzed in my pants!![ATTACH=CONFIG]40479[/ATTACH]

As a nerd, gamer and newfound RC Heli nerd too, I find myself isolated when I tell people how much I hate the Gadget Show... :-/

I was very impressed with the robo challenge stand too =p got to see some of my fab robots off robot wars from when I was a kid loved it and had a chat with grant and some of the other lads loved he stuff they made for the gadget show =D


And I saw the cannon stand but dint go look upstairs I was too busy watching them buys on the box and with the football

Just a shame a lot of the good stands from last year wasn't ther this time. Although I did get a cool waterproof iPhone case. And one of the g- force ones that you can smack the iPhone with a hockey stick and it survives =p will add a link it's unreal

I went on Thursday and TBH was pretty disappointed. The live show was fantastic, really good fun and you could see the presenters are genuinely all very passionate about what they do/did. The actual "Gadget Show" was poor though. Grants stand (Robo Challenge) was very good, and had a good chat with Grant, but all the others were pretty crap. Most were just trade stands selling off their old stock at minimal discounts, some even worst could be compared to a Sunday morning market stall selling crap like drill bits and fake canvas prints, complete with bold statements from the traders along the lines off "these are the last ones, already nearly sold out" - yeah ok, third day of a 6 day event, "best price just for you today" etc etc.

My expectation, having never been before, was for much more "future tech", like the Honda Asimo, new tablets, new tv tech etc, but there was as good as none of this. It really wasn't a gadget show, much more of a trade expo. If you wanted to build a new pc or buy a camera, you would have been in your element, but otherwise, like me, you'll be disappointed.

What was OCUK stand like?

[LaurenceGough]

I have to agree, other than Robo Challenge and Festo and a few other brands it was very much just a warehouse market.

If it wasn't for the proper Live show it wouldn't have been that amazing.

The OCUK stand was pretty good, some next day shipping discounts were there but I think I already had it from being a member on the forums. Lots of nice cases on display and I think a few PCs were set-up for FPS, and there was a racing setup. Nice guys running the shop too.
