if any of you remember barberous 2, the guy who made it- simon raferty told me if robotwars came back he would definatly take his robot back on the show

I wouldnt say that Steel Avenger and Chaos 2 are rusting in garages. They usually make guest appearances at Robot Rumble as do John, Jackie and George. And as for Cassius 3, although it may not be there, Rex most certainly is.

Its not just a lack of TV that prevents some people (although not all) from being on the live circuit, they have other commitments such as jobs, families and mortgages to take care of first.

I didnt meant the original robots, I meant that both teams had designed new versions of thoes robots (I saw the new version of SA 2 part done in a real robots magazine issue). I have never seen these versions work and I dont think that anyone else has, if so then where else could they be other than having the projects scrapped and dissasembled.

ill still stick with what i said about TV - if it was back people would be back

battle bots has proven it - theres more then double signed up to go then there was at robogames last year and there will be more signing up

mortgages, jobs, families do not get in the way of robot events, were having nearly an event every month most the time more then 1 event so theres plenty on the calender unless the 200bots+ who used to be about all work every weekend of the year - its a family hobby the majority of roboteers come in families - its not the most expensive hobby either its pretty cheap - football used to cost me more then robots do

but tbh i dont even care about all the old robots - were putting on shows with more then enough robots and iv also made more money in 2007/2008 then we ever did from robot wars - there the 1s missing the great social life we have at the weekend events while there sitting at home next to there boring wifes moaning at them - o and all the old robots suck they would all get killed by the current bots

FRA, you must have contact details for most the old lot? most of them prob signed up to this forum - send them all an email telling them were still around might get some of them interested again

o and all the old robots suck they would all get killed by the current bots
i almost think thats a bit disresepectful lol
how far did your robot get when it was on tv btw? out of interest.

would like to see beast against ummmmm supernova,hypnodisc, fluffy, chaos2, or firestorm :wink:

i would prefer to be on tv than the money!!:wink:

it was these OLD BOYS who i believe made a big impact of what the sport what it is today. Their robots may not be as good as todays machines as they have given up and not evolved their machines. im sure if they were around today their machines would be just as good as e.g bigger brother, terrorhurtz, iron awe.

hypno disc ye it was amazing back in the day but now it wouldnt get through most things nowadays - chaos 2 was past its best by series 5

robots now r 10 times better its been like 7 years? so ofcourse there going to be better now

and ye i would prefer to be on tv more then money as im sure the top bots made a fair bit back in the day and are prob still making money off it and iv got a simple way to make money but it wont work without the fan base which comes with tv

i think fire storm is still around - they go to the expo events or they did do no longer then 2 years ago

**john** · 3rd March 2009, 19:46

and ye ofcourse there robots would be as good as ours if not better
thz was built like in 2003 and is still 1 of the best bots around but i do see it getting old now and thor is taking over - but johns sorting beta out which will be good

it would make great tv if it was on as 75% of the robots entering now have a very good chance of winning where back in the day there was only a few but it was all fixed on robot wars anyway
