According to Robot Wars Wiki and Headbanger142 of Youtube, he has recently passed away due to cancer. He was the Sir Chromalot captain for those who don't remember him. He always made me laugh, perhaps more than the Plunderbird boys.
RIP mate.

Makes me remember what a shame and how upset our small community got upon hearing the bad news regarding Tanja.

Such a shame

Tanja was a girl on Team Pillow Torque who was killed in a tragic car accident. It was a horrible thing to happen considering we'd seen and spoke to her just a few months beforehand. As a result we now hold the Tanja memorial competition every year in memory of her, in which all under-16's at the event take part in.
