Transport:
The XNA Challenge teams will travel down to Thurles on Tuesday evening. Accommodation will be provided for up to three teams in the Anner Hotel. The teams need to be set up by 9am Wednesday morning in the Tipperary Institute. A coach will leave DIT @ 10am Wednesday for the Robocode team and Robocode\XNA Challenge supporters. We should be arriving in Tipperary in time for the game pro talks on Wednesday afternoon. Accommodation will be provided in the Anner hotel on Wednesday for the XNA Challenge teams and the Robocode team. The coach will leave Tipperary Institute on Thursday @ 5pm
Can class reps please send me a list of those intending to travel by Friday at the latest so I know the numbers for the coach.
