Battlebots return?!

[craig_colliass]

I would love to take St Hammer to the US but funds would not stretch to that far.

Is Carmen Electra going to present it again?

john. . . How much does it cost to take a heavy weight?

[dgr]

They now have a robots must have an active weapon rule for Battlebots, so would Saint Hammer qualify under that? Its a bit of a grey area isnt it.

[terrorhurtz]

Some idea of costs:
Shipping the robot (maybe out by air, back by sea, we walk it through customs): £500-700.
Hire of an SUV for 10 days: £340
Hotel room: £80 per night - they quite often have two double beds.
Return flight: £450

Is Carmen Electra going to present it again?

After she insulted Ian Lewis and starred in the [banned] movie ever made, Disaster Movie?

I doubt it.
