Clockwork Robotics (Formerly Death Robotics)

Nice! It'll be great to see another old RW favourite back in action. I mean, we've already seen machines like Behemoth, Stinger and Onslaught (and once it's up and running, Mortis) in there previously, so why not? All they need is for Cassius II and Chaos 2 to return, and I can die happy 


I also heard a rumour that Firestorm might be returning, but I'm not certain.

This is some VERY pleasing news to hear. And I do hope Firestorm gets back into the action. Love that bot.

[Vertigo]

Then I shall toss Steely effortlessly over the wall >:D

Anyways, Firestorm, it's a possibility, I'm not saying how though, you'll have to work that out yourselves

[Badnik96]

Steel Avenger's coming back?

Alert Jonzu :P

No chance mate, we'll end up pitting ourselves 1st

Bloody ! Nearly a year since the last update on our team.

Okay so at the FW UK champs we performed... Not so good (From what I heard, I wans't there) We have now purchased Bulldog Breed from the original owners. And I pray for the life of me that Matt doesnt sell it, it's all in working order and performed at the guilford show this year.

My FW, still no progress made (I'm such a lazy slob ain't I?) and it's currently sitting under my bed.

Nice OOTA toss Vert.

Why would you buy a used robot? It takes like 98% of the fun out of the sport.

To be fair though, if you had the opportunity to buy a great classic bot wouldn't you ?

Some people like restoration more than building from scratch.  I imagine it can't be fighting fit after such a long state of dormancy, compounded with the damage X-Terminator did.

Actually, going on the pictures that were posted on the fra forums it was in fighting condition as the team used it in the live shows after robot wars which is why the wedge is a different shape but the wiring had to be redone IIRC

[Badnik96]

Sweet, another RW veteran back on the circuit :D

[Velocity EVO]

Yep, I'm pretty sure Bulldog required no or very little restoration.

I think the reason people buy robots is generally because they are inexperienced and so hope to learn while maintaining it before they attempt to build one themselves. Having said that, team Avenger seem to have bought and sold loads of robots now, in very quick succession, which does confuse me.

I know I wouldn't want to buy a robot above making one, possibly except if it's something I used to love on Robot Wars such as Firestorm :P

In regards to the Team Avenger buy/sell comment, I have no control over wether they get bought or sold by us. I generally leave it up to Matt (Even though I find some of his choices questionable) and that's that really.

My FW design plan has changed since the last year, me and Matt came up with a Maelstrom shaped rammer with wheel gaurds on. And hopefully (Once I pull my finger out my ass, not literally) I'll try and make an AW of my own, possibly and AW Limpet or something to get started with.
