what happened to...

[Tom310]

hey does anyone know what happened to A - Kill - robot wars 1998 international championships?
(you know, when razer destroyed shunts buldozer blade.)

[Tom310]

I wonder what happened to the chaos 2 robots?

[TEAM ENIGMA]

Chaos 2 is still with George Francis, it was rebuilt back to competition standards after it was destroyed in Extreme 2. The first Chaos was used as parts for Chaos 2.

[Silent Night]

I know that Suicidal Tendencies had a new version built for series 8 because I went around the workshop years ago, but I'm clueless about what's happened to it.

Well, well, well, has it been that long?
A-KILL was built in my garage in Chesham bucks after seeing Robot Wars on telly. It was on telly twice (two different designs, same bot ) and failed the qualifiers one year. It was sold on ebay to finance Sawpoint. I rearly miss A-KILL it was a great bot. Just to bore you I went on to build Saw point 2 . I moved on to Tekno games with, Wizzbang , Wizzbang2, Miniwizz, Shaky the boat, Railsnail, solarslug (solar racers). Plus various others. Does anyone know what happened to Derek and Val who started Robot Wars.

Wizzbang? Miniwizz?

I know those names... erm... wizzbang wizzbang wizzbang wizzbang... miniwizz miniwizz miniwizz miniwizz...

Were they the little orange bicycles by any chance? I was 7 when Technogames ended, my memory is a complete blur, were they the little orange bikes? If so, they were fantastic!

[Leonardomayo]

Were Wizzbang and Miniwhizz rocket propelled by any chance?

[chrissbb]

wizzbang 2 was again home built electric (not rocket ) bike way before you could buy them in shops. it is about 8 long and was a pig to get to work well . did get gold medal and robot of comp award. Miniwizz a year later 5 long and also the same medal and award. i still am very proud of that. it was a big shame they stoped teckno games it was great fun and so many types of bots. you had to be at the filming it was chaos. (derek and val again). oh i forgot about wizzbang 1 that was powered by a petrol strimmer engine the steering servo broke and went straight on at the first corner, if you look closely at the footage you see me and a fireman chasing after it !!

[Tom310]

Yeah techno games was good fun, so many funny acidents! Just like with all the stupid accidents where people ended up driving into the pit in RW (sorry to anyone who did!) hey just out of interest, how much did you sell A - kill for? And yeah I had a look at the recording of techno games you are talking about and you can see you and a fireman jogging to try and keep up with your robot!
