Hello im new on here after visiting here regularly for a while now
One question that i have wonder for a few weeks is:
seen as Battlebots is coming back to American television screens is Robot wars close to coming back over here?

In short no. In long nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo :rofl:

But seriously, robot wars most likely won't be returning unless it's resurected in years to come like gladiators was when the tv producers are scraping the barrel again for ideas. Robot wars was great in its time but it ran it's course. I barely know of anyone that watched series 7, partly because channel 5 kept moving it around and partly because people didn't know it was still on or cared about it.

It's a shame but we still have a decent calendar of live events and a good community still building them. So when are you gonna start building a bot?

LOL A-levels? Believe me you have plenty of time to plan a machine in your spare time. I'm in the fourth year of a mechanical engineering course working 10 hour days in uni studying and im still designing machines

I will do sometime but can i also ask what happened to the house robots?

psycho_fling · **Posted:** Thu Feb 11, 2010 10:52 pm

who knows

they were the tv companies property so they may have stored or sold the parts on

btw RR events have house robots :proud:
