Gareth's just messing around. He doesn't have the time to get a robot to San Fran on such short notice  :yaya)

One of the perks of being on the ORW mod team is that we get know stuff about the UK robot combat circuit before it's made public. You lot have been doing a decent job at putting together clues about what robots will make their appearance, but you all seem to be struggling when it comes to the 5th.

The 5th entry comes from a veteran team that don't see too much action nowdays due to other commitments, but have recently taken interest in getting back into the sport in a big way. We're not going to tell you outright who the entry comes from due to ABC's contract with them, but rest assured you'll be amazed, almost hypnotised, when you see what team it is and what their machine is.

Happy guessing.  ;)

Should we tell them who the 5th UK team are? ;)

Might aswell, the 5th team going to Battlebots is taking a total rebuild of Dystopia called "Enforcer" due to licensing agreements.

Only just been finished, theres a few photos below of it in the garden before being shipped to San Francisco tomorrow

Hmm if that's the true list then I'm puzzled about how "Hypnotized" was a clue.

Eh, probably a red herring.

Be on the lookout for something from the Infernolab too. Last I heard his answer when asked was a cryptic "TBD :]"

Badnik could you please make sure the hashtag makes it onto your wiki.

Also do you wanna add Team Think Tank to the "not competing" list?

Anyone know what time the first show will appear on T.V Eastern? I have a feeling I'd need to wait until it's on Youtube.
