Title: Have you met one of the Builders?
Post by: JoeCB1991 on July 01, 2008, 11:14:35 AM: This is a simple question, have you ever met any of the people who built one of the real robots.

I actually knew Robert Lawrence the builder of Mechavore because his shop was near a foundry that my grandfather owned and I got to go over there a few times. I have a few pictures from when I went over there too, mostly of Mechavore and I have one of me holding one of the hammers from Son of Whyachi that got damaged in that fight but I don't know where they are now.

Why must you do this to me.

Title: Re: Have you met one of the Builders?
Post by: Conraaa on August 13, 2015, 04:23:27 PM: -Met John Reid at the qualifiers at roughly Series 5 time, I got to sit next to Terrorhurtz which was so cool.
-I was on Series 7 and Extreme 2 of Robot Wars and got to meet a lot of teams there, we turned up on the day of the grand final and were around to see Team Storm get robbed! They weren't best pleased.
-We attended a roadshow event in Woking (I think?) and when Pussycat got flipped out of the flimsiest MDF arena I have ever seen it created some shrapnel which I ran in, stole some of and promptly got berated by Michael Lambert of Team Dantomkia for. I got everyone there to sign it including Team Plunderbird, Wheely Big Cheese, Scorpion, Bigger Brother, Razer, Tornado (I borrowed their pen and then thought to go
et their autographs an hour later) and many more. I still have it upstairs.

So to answer your question yes.
