They did accept other teams building spinners, including those from scratch. I know of one that went together in about five weeks and gave a good account of itself. It just came down to whether or not your robot was interesting enough for TV and whether they already filled their quotas for particular weapon types.
Mine was the same as carbide and ironside so I suppose they didn't want 3 the same , shame I got the impression it was all great and then was told it wasn't what they were looking for after I had all the bits to build it. They're all sold now anyway as I have enough robot crap piled up everywhere.
Carbide and ironside both use bars but the similarities end their really. Sorry to hear you had a problem terry
What's Ironside? Any pics about?
I understand that there as a quota for every weapon type so I guess once its filled they would not accept any more.
If there is another competition, there will be more episodes and so more robots required....

You'll see Ironside when round 4 airs
So who bought the lynch motor?
Went for £310 which looks strong money

Not sure if useful to anyone. Was tempted to take it for a project at this end but I have too many projects as it is.
I have spotted this robot project on e bay if anyone is interested

That is genuinely terrifying.
