Thanks, Mr Van Miert. Did Hannibal compete in Robot Wars under a different name? I was only taking robots that competed in the main show, not robots that went out in the qualifiers, but it doesn't matter. It might have competed in the Dutch or international versions, I don't know. Can you help me out, please?
ok, gimme Mace II and Tough as Nails
Hmmm....Hannibal, to me, looks very remenisant of Hard.
In that picture, Hannibal has British stickers on it. I went on the Hassocks Hog website many years ago and found out Hannibal was in their series 7 qualifier. Did the Hard team buy it and take it to Belgium with them? Where did Hannibal come from, I'm just wondering.
Hannibal has nothing to do with Hard (which team is called team Compactory by the way).
Hannibal was the property of Stuart Mills before I bought it of off them, after series 7. He and his son competed in Series 5 and 6, but that might have been with a different robot I am not sure. If that is not okay I can exchange for Obsidian, which was in the wars for sure.
Well, I suppose the obvious question should be why not that other robot? if it had actually been in the wars....unfortunately, I can't think as to what that robot would be.
Just saying.
If you refer to Obsidian, Hannibal was by far the better robot. Obsidian just got lucky in the draw during qualfiers I guess.Quote:

The point of the matter is that Hannibal is not a Robot Wars competitor...Obsidian and the unknown robot were. :)
Chris, Leo, it doesn't matter. Hannibal did not qualify for series 7, but since it went to Robot Wars anyway, I'll allow it. I spent almost all night finding out what its series 5 and 6 versions were, but I couldn't. I'm wondering, so any help?
There is one more place :)
I have no idea which robot they used before.Quote:
