==What is Hebocon?==

Watch this video of the original HEBOCON as introduction and inspiration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46ivFpsmEVQ

In the words of Daiju Ishikawa, HEBOCON Inventor:

<blockquote>Hebocon is a robot sumo-wrestling competition for those who are not technically gifted. It is a competition where crappy robots that can just barely move gather and somehow manage to engage in odd, awkward battles. To my knowledge, this is the only robot contest in the world where people with no technical capabilities to make robots are presented prizes.</blockquote>

You can attend the [https://www.emfcamp.org/schedule/2022/354-hebocon-robot-building-workshop workshop on Friday], and Hebocon will take place on Saturday night, everyone is invited to enter a robot or watch!

==Get involved==

Everyone is invited to compete with a self-made robot, especially if you've never done it before. High-tech is penalized, creativity encouraged. Build a robot before the event - the event will just be the battles and may some short introductions. Building a robot doesn't need to take long though - you can probably make an entry in an hour from things found on camp. You can decide to enter right up until the start of the event.

==Hardware donation box==

Even if you just want to watch, it would be great if you could bring some old hardware which could be repurposed. Floppy drives, old toys, motors, battery holders, wheel-like objects or even just gaffer tape would be useful.

We'll have a small supply of basic electric components - AA batteries, battery holders, gear-motors and connectors.

A few people will bring spare hardware for spontaneous participants, we will collect it in a hardware donation box in the Hack Tent. Feel free to donate things!

== Guidelines for entrants ==

The best way to win at Hebocon is to enjoy the competition, but there is some structure. The following guidelines may help you prepare for the competition:

# '''Watch the video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46ivFpsmEVQ'''
# Don't bring anything heavy or powerful enough that it could injure someone. If your robot could hurt someone by dropping it on their foot, it's too heavy. Official Hebocon rules recommend a 1kg weight limit.
# Battles will take place on a 1m x 0.5m table, or as close as we can get to that with the tables we have available. To win a battle, you can push your opponent off the table, or tip them over. Fights will last for one minute. If the robots don't touch during the fight, the fight will be restarted; on the third restart, the first to leave the table or tip over will be the loser.
# Trailing power wires are allowed. Control by trailing wires is also allowed. Radio control is acceptable, but you will probably be given a high-tech penalty if you make your own radio control system. Re-purposing an existing radio control system like a radio controlled car would be better.
# Physical remote control, such as pushing your robot with sticks once it's in the arena, or pulling on power wires, is not in the spirit of the competition. Rolling your robot down a ramp into the arena is OK.
# Don't spend so much time or effort on your robot that you would mind if it got destroyed. If you are beaten, it would be great if you can let your opponent glue a part of your robot to theirs to carry on your robot's spirit.

|-
| Jon || Created another village like this in 2012, back when I knew no one. Doing it again 12 years later to provide a home for people who would like a softer entry to EMF than trying to find a space in the field. || 25m 16A ceeform to 4x UK plug extension, some addressable LED strip (no power supply, or anything to drive it though), 3 other people (if you're one of those people, add your name below and decrement that count)

==What should we bring?==

=== Cooking Equipment & Food ===

While EMF provides a great set of food vendors, it may be easier or cheaper for you to get together and cook. Some villages cook for upwards of 100 people each meal, but there’s no reason it can’t just be 5 people.
Think about the things you’ll need - a stove, pots & pans, plates/bowls, cutlery and food.
We’d really appreciate it if you brought reusable plates and cutlery, and low-packaging food. This helps reduce our waste footprint and helps the environment.

Learn more about onsite food [[Food|here]]

== Public/Shared Area ==

You will want somewhere to work together, to show off your toys, to run workshops and more. What you’ll need is a ‘village square’. This can be a few tables and chairs, all the way up to a geodesic dome!

With the unreliability of British weather, we recommend that this area is covered - it can get really sunny and really wet at our site. We’d rather neither you were sunburned nor your laptop flooded.

The village team would really appreciate it if you planned this ahead of the event and could tell us the area in m2, so we can layout the site and get you the best location possible!

EMF are happy for you to bring your own tents and furniture for being social in and cooking in, but you can also rent them for us for the event. We ask that you remove all tents and furniture that you’ve brought at the end of the event - it’s not fair on our volunteers to have to tidy them up, and it’s also bad for the environment.

== What makes a good neighbour? ==

A good neighbour works with those around them so everyone has the best possible event. This includes understanding the area you are camping in and compromising with those nearby! We have both quiet and noisy camping areas. If you intend to have friends over working, partying and enjoying each other’s company until the wee hours, we’d ask that you place yourself in the noisy area.

It’s great if you can share with your neighbours too - maybe you want to group 3-4 villages together into a common theme, and share resources. This could be cooking, hardware or other items. You can get in touch with your neighbours ahead of the event and see if they want to do anything with you - it could be a shared event, or helping with their cooking in exchange for food!

__NOTOC__ __NOEDITSECTION__

The camping areas at EMF contain a number of villages.

== What is a Village? ==
A village is a group of friends, like minded people, colleagues or even families. Maybe your village is a collection of sub villages, or maybe it’s just your hackerspace. We also see villages based around themes, shared passions and existing communities - great places in the past have been the Maths village, the HAB Village and groups like Milliways and the Scottish Consulate.

If there is a village based around something you are interested in, then you should definitely visit that village during the event to see what's going on. Or you could even join that village to help make more things go on. If there's not a village based around your interests, then you can start your own village and others will probably join you.

There is no requirement to be part of a village, so if you'd rather camp on your own and just visit some villages this is fine.

If you're planning to bring something especially big or in need of lots of power to your village, please [[Contact|let us know beforehand]] so we can provide you with what you need.

== What can we do as a Village? ==
[[File:maths-village.jpg|thumb|right|Making intersecting tetrahedra at the Maths Village in 2018]]
Villages are great as you can share ideas, equipment and space! The sharing doesn’t stop there - it lets you share resources too. You can come up with a cooking and cleaning rota as a group to reduce waste, make the camp cheaper and interrupt your day with a change of activity. Some people spend all their time cooking for others!

Maybe you are working on a group project and want to show off the final result, or you want to spend the weekend building something. Doing this as a village is good fun, and you often find that new friends will appear to share their ideas, opinions and time with you.

Some villages bring pre-made games and activities for other people to take part in, and some run events and parties during the weekend!

If you have a good space, you could run a workshop, a series of lectures or even your own mini-conference, entirely separate from our main program! Some of our favourites from previous years include:
* [https://wiki-archive.emfcamp.org/2018/w/index.php/Village:Goldsmithing Ring Making Workshop]
* [https://wiki-archive.emfcamp.org/2018/w/index.php/Village:ObscureCon Obscurecon]
* [https://wiki-archive.emfcamp.org/2018/w/index.php/Village:Hardware_Hacking_Area Hardware Hacking Village]
* Personal Introduction to FPGA programming
* [https://wiki-archive.emfcamp.org/2018/w/index.php/Village:HABville Launching High Altitude Balloons]

=== We're here to help ===

You're welcome to run events in your village. If you have a cool idea, but need help with planning or logistics of doing things on site, please contact us before hand. The earlier you let us know your plans, the better we can help you.

There is also limited funding available for villages that want to put on content. Please [mailto:villages@emfcamp.org Email the Village People] and we will be very happy to discuss anything you might come up with!

Some areas we’d love to expand are:
* Technical presentations
* Skill shares
* Workshops
* Roundtables

== Register a Village ==

Sign up with the [https://www.emfcamp.org/villages/register village registration form] on the main website!

The details you input won't be final - the form can be edited in future - if you're struggling for details, please input speculative numbers and refine them later once ticket sales are closed, or once you've discussed it with us.

You can see [https://www.emfcamp.org/villages/2022 Registered Villages] on the main website.

The Village People plan to be more involved in the placing and layout of villages this year to minimise collisions and disagreements!

We'd very much appreciate it if you could think ahead of time and consider these things the registration form asks:

* The area your village will need in m², and provide us a realistic estimate so we can place you!
** The number of attendees will influence area
** If your attendees intend to camp at your village or away from it will influence area
** Structures you plan to bring will impact how big your village is - tell us their area!
* If you want to run your own events / stage / workshops
* If you will be noisy or quiet, and what hours you'll be loud at so we can place you in quiet/noisy areas
* If you want to do anything spectacular or out the ordinary - just get in touch and we can make it happen

== Being a Good Village ==

We're compiling a guide of what makes a good village, based on our past experience!

FAQ

2022-01-16T10:46:42Z

JonWood: Update for 2022

__NOEDITSECTION__

==General==

===Who are you?===
Electromagnetic Field is a non-profit event run entirely by a group of dedicated volunteers. EMF 2022 is the fifth major festival we've held in the UK, and a lot of us also help run other festivals in Germany and the Netherlands.

===Can I help out?===
EMF is organised entirely by volunteers. The event's success relies on attendees helping out to the extent they are willing.

More information on helping out during the event will appear on the [https://emfcamp.org/about/volunteering Volunteering] page of the website in due course. If you are able to help plan and work before the event, check out the [https://emfcamp.org/about/volunteer-roles Open Roles] page to see which teams need help.

===How accessible is EMF?===
We take accessibility very seriously, and we want to let as many people experience the fun of EMF. However, it is ultimately an event in the field, and we can't work miracles with our limited budget.

The site will be well-lit during the event, and we will aim to cover access to the stages with trackway. Travelling between stages may take some time. There will be accessible toilets and the current plan includes an accessible shower with a wheelchair ramp. We cannot guarantee 24/7 power, so it must not be relied on for medical needs, but the power infrastructure team will be on call through the night.

If you will be attending with a carer, they are entitled to a free ticket. Please [mailto:tickets@emfcamp.org email us] once you've got your ticket so we can allocate your carer a ticket. Registered assistance dogs will be allowed.

If you have any other accessibility concerns, please [mailto:accessibility@emfcamp.org drop us an email].

===Is EMF family-friendly?===
Yes! We want EMF to be a great event for hackers of all ages.

We will have free childcare provided by the award-winning [https://www.nipperbout.com/ Nipperbout], which was exceedingly well-received in 2014, 2016 and 2018. You don’t need to register in advance for childcare, just turn up. There will be a designated family camping area, and a whole track of events and workshops for young people.

EMF has a comprehensive lost-child policy with DBS-checked staff available to help out.

There are a number of things to bear in mind:
* Children under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
* There will be dangerous things on site, but they will be clearly marked.
* Licensed alcohol sales are only for people of age 18 and over. Bar staff will ask for ID.

===How old do you have to be to attend EMF by yourself?===
You need to be 16 or over on June 2nd, 2022 to attend EMF without an adult.

==Ticket Sales==
===What does the ticket price include?===
The ticket price includes admission to the event, admission to all of the talks, and most of the workshops. Some workshop organisers charge a fee in order to cover material costs, and places on most workshops will be limited.

Your ticket also includes:
* Tent pitch
* Water
* Showers & Toilets
* [[Network|Fast internet]]
* Electricity

===Can I bring a caravan/camper van?===
Yes, we will have a dedicated camper van area on site, within the main fence, with 16A power provided. You'll need to buy an additional camper van ticket.

If you are coming with a caravan, parking for your towing car in the car park is included.

Please try to arrive before midday on Friday and leave after midday on Monday to reduce traffic movements on site. If you're planning on leaving earlier, please let us know when you arrive so we can park you close to the exit.

We unfortunately can't provide water hookups or drainage/emptying facilities. You will not be able to empty your tank during the event.

===If I tow a caravan with a campervan, will I need a ticket for each?===

Yes.

(Somehow this is actually a frequently asked question!)

===Do volunteers get a free ticket?===
Everyone who attends is expected to buy a ticket, including the founders and the core organisation team. So many people contribute to running EMF that it would be financially impossible to give everyone who helps out a free ticket, and unfair to draw a line past which volunteers receive free tickets.

The sole exception to this rule are first aiders, who must be trained to the high standards of our first aid team, and are expected to carry out three eight-hour shifts in return for a free ticket.

===The transaction reference you've provided isn't accepted by my bank!===

If you are having trouble entering the transaction reference into your online banking, just remove the hyphen. Some banks don't like it and don't tell you why.

===Can I transfer tickets to someone else?===

Yes - once you've bought a ticket you can transfer it to someone else by entering their email address on our site. We recommend you do this if you're buying tickets for other people, so that they can receive updates directly from us.

We would kindly request that you don't sell tickets to other people for more than the price you paid for them.

You can find people who may be interested in getting your ticket at [[Ticket_Exchange]].

===Can I get a refund?===

We’ve made some changes to our refund policy this year to try and give you more flexibility while still allowing us enough certainty to run the event.

Tickets will be refundable with no questions asked until the 1st March 2022. After that, refund requests will be placed in a queue and processed in order, as soon as we have sold enough tickets to break even on the event.

We will also be offering full refunds if you are unable to attend EMF because you have COVID-19. We’ll provide more details on this closer to the event.

===Why have I received one barcoded ticket for x people?===

This is intended, when scanned on the gate the number of tickets used and unused for that barcode will be shown. For people arriving separately, you can either send them a copy of the PDF for use on the gate, or use the transfer tickets option (''preferred'') on the [https://www.emfcamp.org/account/purchases My Account] section of the website to transfer tickets to other people. Doing so will also allow them to receive EMF email communications and use website features that require authentication such as volunteering, customising your event schedule, or adding village/side events to the festival schedule.

==Planning your Attendance==

===Where is it?===

The EMF site is Eastnor Castle Deer Park, located just east of Ledbury, Herefordshire.

===How can I get there?===

See [[Travel]] for more details

=== Can someone take me there? ===

See the [[Travel#Carpooling]] section of the [[Travel]] page

===When can I arrive? When do I have to leave by?===

The site will open to ticket holders on Thursday at 4pm. All ticket holders must leave the site by noon (12pm) on Monday. Talks and workshops won't start until after midday on the Friday so there's plenty of time to arrive on Friday morning.

We will be there before and afterwards setting up and packing up. If you want to help with this, please let us know (by emailing [mailto:contact@emfcamp.org contact@emfcamp.org]) and we'll let you know when you can turn up. If we have not confirmed that we're expecting you before or after the event you will not be admitted to the site. '''Anyone arriving before Friday morning or staying beyond Monday afternoon will be expected to help with set-up and tear-down (both of which are mostly manual labour).''' Fewer facilities (eg, no food outlets) will be available on site prior to Friday.

===Can I turn up early to help with Build Up?===

No you may not. We already have a full allocation for build up. Due to insurance reasons, and not having enough basic facilities and food, unless you are part of the main Orga team, or have been authorised by a Team Lead, you will be not be let into the site until Thursday 4pm.

===When do things kick off?===

The talks and workshops will begin after lunch on Friday, although people will be setting up earlier in the day.

Talks and workshops run daily through to the evening, although we expect villages will be doing things late into the night! The last talks will finish on Sunday evening by 9pm.

===Can I camp in the campervan area?===

No.

People with campervans can pitch an awning or small tent beside their vehicle but to comply with fire and safety regulations we can't allow people to set up camp there.

If you have friends in the campervan area we suggest you camp in areas G or F which are adjacent.

===What's the mobile phone coverage like?===

Mobile phone (a.k.a. cellphone) coverage is almost non-existent. Of all the carriers, Vodafone seems to be the best, with some signal in some areas - but with 2,500 more people on site there are no guarantees it will work at all.

Basically, you should expect to have no reception across most of the site and most of the time.

For data, that's no problem thanks to the [[Network|excellent WiFi]] across the site. If you need to be reachable by phone during the event, your best options are:

* Use a SIP/VoIP app on your smartphone over the wifi.
* Bring a DECT phone to connect to the [[DECT|DECT network]]. There will hopefully be a way to get yourself an external phone number to your DECT phone or for outside callers to dial an extension number to reach you.
* Some networks, such as Three Mobile, support WiFi calling. This often requires activating in an area with mobile phone coverage, so it’s worth doing this before arriving.

===Will there be a bar?===

Yes, we'll be running a volunteer-staffed licensed bar selling beer and wine, as well as soft drinks and the hacker energy drink Club Mate. Far from the usual crap festival beer, we will be serving real ale from local breweries with all profits going towards making the next iteration of Electromagnetic Field more awesome.

The bar will be open 11am-2am Friday-Saturday, 11am-1am Sunday. Closing times may be earlier subject to demand and volunteer availability.

===Can I bring pets?===

Sorry, animals (except registered assistance animals) are not allowed.

===Can I smoke?===

Smoking (including vaping) is not allowed in any of the event tents or in the food/bar area. Elsewhere, please be considerate and very careful to extinguish your cigarettes to avoid setting the dry grass on fire. Please make sure cigarette butts are disposed of in rubbish bins rather than just thrown on the ground as the site is used by livestock at other times of the year, and it's a pain for the clean up crew to pick them up after the camp is over!

===Can I bring X/Y/Z?===

tl;dr Probably

Please let us know if it's going to be large/tall/use a lot of power/be noisy or anything else you think we should know. We don't want to stop people bringing the latest cool laser helmet for shark 3D printer arduino-powered UAV thing, but we need to plan for it.

Things requiring special permission and may not be allowed: balloons, sky lanterns and the like.

===Can I bring/fly my drone?===

Yes - lots of attendees will be bringing drones and there will be a dedicated UAV flying field. It is against UK law to fly drones over the campsite unless you hold permission from the UK Civil Aviation Authority. EMF will be enforcing this rule, and for safety we will not allow UAVs to be flown over the site without prior arrangement.

===What power connectors will be available?===

Mostly 16A IEC309 ('Ceeform'/'Caravan') connectors although there will be some 13A UK sockets. See the [[Power|power page]] for more information.

===What if I don't like camping?===

Whilst we'd strongly recommend camping (so much happens late into the evening and it's a lot more fun) we realise not everyone wants to. There are several hotels in Ledbury.

===What food will be available?===

There will be several food vendors on site, and volunteers will receive an excellent meal good by our caterers for each volunteer shift they complete.

===Do I need to bring cash?===

The bar will take cards, and offer cashback on purchases, but there will be no cashpoints on site. We don't know whether the food vendors will take cards, and some villages will also be running paid-for workshops where you shouldn't expect to be able to pay by card.

===What are villages?===

[[Villages]] are areas of the campsite self-organised by attendees. The idea is that like-minded people get together, set up in an area of the campsite and enjoy each other's company. Villages are often set up around a topic or existing group (e.g. lock-picking or a hackspace). Some of them will run their own events parallel to the main schedule (for example last year one village hosted a weekend-long LAN party whilst another ran workshops on ring-making).

If you want to find out more, or see which villages are already proposed see the [[Villages| villages page]]

You don't need to join a village to attend.

==At the Event==

===How do I connect to the wifi?===

Unless you know of a reason not to, you should connect to the emfcamp network if your device can see it, or emfcamp-legacy18 if not. You'll be prompted for a username and password - you can provide any value you like, but the following have special behaviour if you use them as both the username and password:

'''emf''' - Assigns a public IP address to your device. This will make it accessible to any user on the internet, so please take extra care to ensure your firewall is active, and operating system is up to date.

'''outboundonly''' - Allows only outbound traffic, similar to having your device on a typical coffee shop network. This will provide a bit of extra security, and potentially save battery life.

'''internetofstuff''' - Allows inbound traffic, but only from the camp network. This is specifically intended for devices you'd like to share access to with attendees, but don't want exposed to the internet at large.

If you're unable to connect to either emfcamp or emfcamp-leagcy18, or have other interesting requirements, see [[https://wiki.emfcamp.org/wiki/Network#Wireless this page]] for further details.

===Can I attach a hammock, slackline, or other things, to the trees?===

Nope. The site owners are very protective about them and have specified that we don't attach anything to them.

===Can I light a fire or BBQ?===

Yes as long as its contained and raised off of the ground so that the grass/ground arent burnt/scorched etc.

|-
