Starting 2013 with a bang....Our News :-)

[robotwars]

Starting 2013 with a bang....Robot Wars is back !!

So it's been a long time coming, but finally the time is here to announce our news!

Over the last two years we have been in negotiations with Robot Wars LLC, yes the TV show about joining forces. It has always been my dream to be in this position so as you can imagine its such a great opportunity to be get.

Although we are still not finished with paperwork which I had hoped to have finished by the start of the 2013 events, we have initiated the transition period... so I can now announce that the Roaming Robots / Robots: Extreme Wars Live brand will soon be disappearing from the public eye.

In replacement will be the brand ... Robot Wars. !!!!

We have a signed a franchise deal which means we will be working closely with Robot Wars LLC and promoting the Robot Wars brand as our show and hopefully this means the future looks very bright for our hobby!

Not only will we become Robot Wars, but with it come the rights to use the House Robots if we can find them. Or even make replicas if needed.

Maybe you will see Sir Killalot working with Major Damage in the arena and then you need to be scared !!

Hopefully you will join us in 2013 and help us show TV world what they are missing out on, believe me eyes will be watching all of our events this year so it is important that you help yourselves secure a better future by helping us make the events the best we can !!! We all want it back on TV, and this is hopefully a positive step towards it.

Over the next few events you will see things changing as our current brand disappears and we take over the Robot Wars brand, its going to be a slow process as we fit everything in with my current work load. House Robots, Arena Changes, New YouTube, Facebook and Website.... I have all sorts of new and exciting things planned in 2013 to fit in with our new direction. Watch this space !

Once we get the paper work finalised which hopefully will be very soon I will be in touch with some more info about the future and specifically what it means to robot world.

You won€™t notice much changing for Barnsley apart from some subtle branding change, if you have any questions catch me while i have a few minutes and I will do my best to answer them.

Well a quick update on progress of the rebrand.

Here's what I can reveal, lots more exciting stuff happening behind the scenes but that's for later in the year.

We have now started to swap our social media over to Robot Wars, and so as sad as it is the RR facebook group will soon be closed.

Come and like the brand new OFFICIAL Robot Wars Page. http://www.facebook.com/officialrobotwars

Come and chat in our group, if you are building a robot and need some personal help from the experts, or want to ask a question they dont bite. http://www.facebook.com/groups/robotwars/

Youtube and Twitter will soon follow.

The new range of Robot Wars merchandise will hopefully arrive before our next event and that will include official Robot Wars T-Shirts, Caps and Pens.

In addition to this we will be launching the first of our range of competitor merchandise, event DVD's and other bits and bobs very soon !

We have commissioned a brand new Robot Wars website which should be completed in the next 2 months, its going to be worth the wait, thats for sure.

New trophies went down well, and again in Colchester roboteers will be competing for one once again in the new format. Make sure you have signed up to the event to be included in the competition draw on Wednesday night.

Does this mean like the pullback toys that the tv show sold?

Eventually we will have toys, but we are starting small and working up from there, there's just not enough hours in the day at the moment.

We have chosen robots carefully which regularily attend our shows, entertain and are popular, but do have scope for a lot more robots to be added to the range.
