That is a rather fantastic idea actually, but that poor pig?

Jamie - you're probably going slightly senile, nothing to worry about

yes they were from scotland hence they couldnt get to many events but when they did they were very entertaining team. the robot i remember them most for was the massive revolving spike things like a combine harvester looking robot....called revolution. cant remember what series it was in. was very good tho. hope to see them soon tho.

will tell roger about the nice interest from roboteers remembering the team and the cool pic of the anti thor armour with the pig. i remember that it was funny.

spanked......i loved that robot too. zero traction with metal tracks on wood floor and the front end was bout 4mm off the floor after we tried to weld studs onto the tracks after the first round to get grip.

Envy would spank storm 2 today i believe.

**swanaldo** · 5th June 2009, 22:29

Yep, they were a good bunch of lads,
I remember a fight at an event at Telford a while back. Revoloution V Thor V Crustation V Scorpion, a fight that Thor won by the skin of it's teeth even after taking a right good pasting as I recall! (I think shane or Jason may still have our top armour we gave them after the fight)
I have an abiding memory of Revolution running for its life from Scorpion after seeing Thor and Crustation get a good seeing to, and the guys telling me afterwards that they were convinced they were about to loose their robot!!

Ah the good old days!!
