Help me catch up!

[Mykeprime]

Hi,

I grew up watching (and loving) robot wars.

I just recently found out that the sport lives on through groups like €˜roaming robots€™ and €˜robots live€™ and was wondering if someone could answer a few questions that would help me catch up?

1) I know separate groups have their own tournaments and events but is there a tournament that has taken over the role of the grand UK championship in the wake of €˜Robot Wars€™ and if so, where is the best place to keep up with it?
2) Is there anyway I can watch and catch up with previous events/championships? I found a few videos on YouTube, but it€™s hard to know if and how one leads onto another. I€™d really like to be able to watch a whole tournament in order.
3) Like the last question, is there anyway I can watch new/future competitions in full? Online etc?

I€™m really glad to see the sport is still going and hope to see any events that might come near my neck of the woods.

Cheers!

Welcome back!

The UK featherweight championship has been run by robo challenge over a long weekend. Still great fun.

The UK heavyweight championship has been on a league format until the final 4 fight off for the title on the winter tour of roaming robots. Except for this year, where is expected to be a weekend arrangement somewhere... Iconic.

YouTube is still the best place to see past events because outside the early roaming robots DVDs these events aren't normally recorded. Sorry about that.
