Both Radioactive (Make Robotics) and Beta have both passed their safety tests now too.
Beta needs some software timing tweaks to the weapon controller which is simple to increase the speed of the hammer now we know who were fighting

Any news?

You won't hear anything concrete until it's been shown on the TV much like it was back in the days of robot wars.

Doh, unlike in the days of robot wars, i wasn't there to compete

Google does reveal some info if you search. One of the teams reported to win one and loose the next fight.
But for anything concrete you'll have to wait.

HA! Try being the winner of robot wars and having to keep it quiet for months!

We all had a great time, Cant talk about what happened, but hopefully the ratings are good enough in the states that it will kick start a few series

Earlier it was mentioned:

Sadly not all the UK teams made it through which we are gutted about as I think there was great potential for them, but 3 teams got accepted into the show and 2 others on the reserves list.

Team Razer: Ian, Simon, Gillian & James
Team Robo Challenge: Grant, John & Mouldy
Team Makerobotics: Kane, Ant & Kevin
Team Robots Live: Alan, Sam, Helen
The other team have not yet announced publically that they're going yet so I will keep this quiet until they say.

That final team was Ian Watts and John Frizell. It was a fabulous event and like Mouldy we hope the resulting series will inspire many to follow. It ought to - everyone present gave it all they had.
