Just a small point on the toy deal - exactly £0 was made from that - plus the pride of seeing your creation reproduced in the shops. In that respect absolutely nothing has changed - except nowadays we make or commission our own merchandise and our shop windows are the event organisers. What money is made actually goes back into keeping the robot running instead of straight into the pockets of the toy makers and tv companies.


This is why I won't be jumping for joy if the series comes back you the roboteers that were in the Robot Wars TV series were fleeced for everything, you came in and you were told to sign contracts that boiled down to them getting everything and you nothing, the injustice of this is too much.
If the robot fighting dose come back on TV I would like to see partnership not dictatorship. The series did get me interested in the robot scene but that's the only thing positive it did for me.
