- Major Damage the House robot from Roaming Robots is on a poster for Robot Wars Live

- Article on Roaming Robots Website contains

I contacted Robots Live, who didnt have any plans for the UK champs, the FRA doesnt appear to be very proactive at the moment, so once again Im taking the bull by the horns !!

no real facts just throw a few figures into the equation, with Battlebots Back UK might have to do something to stay competitive

Stag, do you have the link to the page ?

no, that's Roaming Robots, a group who put on events these days. They're who wham's AI pack is based on.

Robot Wars Live is just the term they are using to make more people aware as far as I know. Ask Wham.

I know about RR but:
Did they build a new bot based on Mr. Psycho and Dead Metal or did they took the ones from RW and made them like the one on the poster?

G.K. · « **Reply #64 on:** January 17, 2010, 06:09:46 AM »

they made new bots

Major Damage and Gripper are RR's, based off Psycho and Growler
Battleaxe, the Dead Metal like one, is from Robots Live

Everything can be found there. Blame the Royal Air Force for the arena to be sold for scrap at about $375 US.

Toro had an unlucky match when the clock was at 9 sec and the bot he was facing was being counted out at that time

that wasnt luck though... epic screwjob

I lost a lot of respect for Robot Wars over that

freeziez · « **Reply #76 on:** June 26, 2010, 08:51:42 AM »

Yeah. They were such a fake, trying to get Storm II, who TOTALLY deserved the championship, out of the tournament.

I found that amusing really.
Another unlucky bot from that event was Ginsu, they went for one more attack on Mechadon, who was stuck on its side and lost a motor, and got turned over on its side. I also find Punjar's loss a tad unlucky and unfair cause Voltarc never bothered on letting them go, they just left Punjar on the killsaws for half of the fight.

freeziez · « **Reply #78 on:** June 27, 2010, 04:57:37 PM »

Same thing with Voltarc- Biohazard in S1.

im going to add Tsunami vs Exterminator in there

if there flip tossed it out the arena rather then self righting it there robot would have been in < 1000 pieces
