Wheely big cheese - 2 versions, one is with Team Hydra, the other is with someone else who a lot of us fell out with :P
Chaos 2 - In 1 piece, but retired. Last seen at Robot Rumble in 2007
Razer - Comes out for demo's occasionally (Robochallenge only)
Hypno-Disc - Not sure
Tornado - Its back with Andrew Marchant now, been on display with Robot's Live for a while. Can run, but in bad condition.
Firestorm - Not sure, I hope its still intact
Diotoir - Still with the team I think.
cheers mate, well done diotoir for still going, i hope hypno disc is intact, my favourite one ever
Last time I saw Firestorm was at a school event in the Barnard Castle area in 2005 (along with Razer). It was still in full working condition.
I imagine Hypno-Disc is still in one piece with one of the Rose brothers. They intended to enter Series 8 as far as I know but a certain TV channel put paid to that.
Mechatrons (on has forum) hqs Diotoir
Firestorm - Still in working order but sat in his shed
Just filling on the gaps :lol:
The hypnodisc team are considering coming back, they are thinking about building a new machine for the current live events.
:proud:
Please dont tell me thats a joke jonno? Would be great to see them back
no joke !
I can't believe no-one's mentioned Panic Attack. :lol:
Forgot about Panic attack- Kim davies was the best driver ever imo, speaking of amazing drivers wheres Pussycat these days? RIP David Gribble
pussy cat is in my garage :-)
why the @x@? and yeah pussycat was great! id love to see alot fo them back and the house robots
I'm assuming Pu$$y is a band word on the forum hence it gets blanked out.
And just in case you were wondering, typhoon 2 has been rebuilt after it was seriously damaged in the USA. Currently in static show spec the plan is get it operating again for demos if there is anywhere that can contain it (unlikely though)
Robochallenge?
Should be okay for at least a sit and spin type thing surely?
Speaking of ex-TV robots, any chance i'd be able to borrow Typhoon Rover for an event in a school on the 30th Gary? :proud:Quote:

That'd be fine, cheers :) . Will ask my g/f when she next is going home and i'll give her a lift and pick it up then. At the moment friday/saturdays are my days off work so either of them would suit.
Well I saw Storm and Storm II today so they are still around. :mrgreen:
Have you been breaking into peoples' garages Leo? :proud:
