Questions from Robot Wars Wiki
Hi guys, I am hoping there are people out there who can help us with some questions that the Wiki needs.
Our main interest right now is where Dominator 2 was seeded in Series 7 before pulling out. Logically, it would be number 5, but others disagree and insist that it was either 6 or 7. Can someone enlighten us?
Also, if anyone out there happens to know anything about Boudicca or Retribution, the robots that lost to Kan Opener and 13 Black in the Series 6 qualifiers, that'd be great. What we have is below, so you can look at the pictures to jog your memories.

Another point is if anyone knows if the driver of Eddie Evolution (whoever he was) fought with another robot?
Finally, with some Youtube clips missing or down, we've been unable to gain some information. If anyone knows the stats of Clawed Hopper or Destruct-A-Bubble in Series 5, we'd really appreciate it.
Thanks

We would really appreciate anything you can help us with, as we are always searching for more info. If you find anything we've missed, don't hesitate to add it.
Re: Questions from Robot Wars Wiki
If I'm correct after talking with a friend of mine who competed in Robot Wars 7(I will keep him anonymous), I've come to the following conclusions:
1: Dominator 2 was seeded 5th, via it losing to Hypno-Disc but regaining its seeding via defeating Hypno-Disc.
2: If you want to find out about those 2 robots, send a PM to Tom Kane, as he's on the Kan Opener team and would probably remember them.
3: I don't think that the Eddie Evolution team made another robot...
4: I really don't know what the stats were. If you want to find out, PM some of these forum members who competed in series 5, and they might be able to help you.

Time for another question:
Does anyone know if Reptirron the Second was ever able to self-right?
Re: Questions from Robot Wars Wiki
Did they ever release any footage from the qualifying rounds that never made it to TV to the roboteers themselves or are they just sitting on a vault somewhere in the BBC probably never to see the light of day? :?:
Some of the stories you used to get on the old site from the qualifiers were amazing, anyone remember anything about them? :?:
Re: Questions from Robot Wars Wiki
The qualifiers footage is probably somewere in the store-rooms of Mentorn.
The things I remember from those qualifiers was that those could be first rounds.
Re: Questions from Robot Wars Wiki
The later qualifiers were never filmed. Only a few people camcorded their fights.
I think only series 2 had behind-the-scenes footage that was broadcast on BBC3 (BBC Choice).

Who were the people who were in the 'accidents' behind the scenes?
