Arturo Sanchez:
Japan has a Gundam guarding Odaiba.
It just needs motors and motion capture software.

I used to love Robot Wars!
I actually had the privilege to meet the creations Behemoth and Sir Killalot. Really cool robots!

I have a remote control Matilda box which is signed by the Chaos team, Craig Charles, Sir Killalots driver, Behemoth team, and the team with the big lady bird, and another team I forgot the name of. Got to meet them all at Lakeside during a robotwars promotion. 8)
Me and my dad made a robot, applied, got past the paper application but then when the inspectors met our bot we were apparently against a couple of rules regarding weight and size by a few points, enough to ensure we didn't qualify... :(
Had the games, had the rip off games, had the player modified version of the rip off.
Was a huge robotwars nut when I was younger.
As for what happened to Robotwars...
American TV happened... It was "bigger" and more over the top with the arena. It was less about the teams behind the robots and more about who could make the bigger grinder with more revs per second... Then it slowly died.

Ahh, was never sure of the rules myself. I had an idea for two huge horizontal buzz-saws, one above the other, and the spun in different directions. Then I got the idea to use lawn mower blades...........that would have been a beast.....
