Indeed. Too bad there old site got hacked, it was still a great source for pictures and stats.
Best regards,

we need 666 antweights to compete in the heavyweight class, and the entry fee is then less than $1 per ant, any volenteers?

Lol Andy, that'd be hilarious. I'm in.
However, according to people who were at Barnsley on the weekend, this attempt to bring it back is currently not amounting to very much at all....
Why is this in the resources section anyway?

Well, it's only a matter of time before big shows come back. The number of people that came up to us at Modelworld and said 'I really miss Robot Wars!'.... :roll:

I hope it comes back, what with our planned heavyweight battalion (Cabrakan, Marco's solo one Carnifex, my solo one...). Never got to get involved last time.

Not too many entrants at the moment, hopefully there will be some more closer to the event. As well as some familiar robots.

As I say, word is its not going too well, what with exclusivities deals and sign up fees ect ect....American events nowadays are lucky to get 6 heavys turn up. At Barnsley we had, what, 21? 22? Something like that. With new ones being planned all the time.

Thats because they don't charge $500 every time you have to enter.
