Regarding Robot Wars applications, there's no news on the Series 11 front yet so they won't be accepting applications or making decisions on competitors. The form on the website is from the previous series, just hasn't been removed yet. The email address is still manned I believe but not as frequently during 'downtime' (which is what we're in now that the world series has just finished and no new series has been announced) so don't be surprised if a reply, if any, is slow in appearing.
