What ever happened to................

Yes

[RogueTwoRobots]

What ever happened to................

As far as I am aware:

Razer now do mainly demos and so picking up damage from combat events aint really ideal if they have a demo the next day and their claw aint working

The Hypnodisc guys I believe took a break and intended on coming back in Series 8 but since such a series never materialised, they didnt

Chaos 2 I think just plain retired (as Mike said). Although George Francis had a robot with him at the 2005 UKRG but I never saw it running (I think it was for tug-of-war or something along those lines) and Chaos 2 was on display there.

On a smaller scale, what happened to Evil Weevil? After conking out of series 4 that was it? They would have won their heat if they hadnt have forgot to charge the battery!*


*Though I guess that isnt saying too much.

What ever happened to................

For Chaos 2, George Francis saw that Chaos 2 was an outdated robot and was going to be easily surpassed by the far better robots emerging.
He decided to build another robot to compete in Robot Wars but that never seemed to happen.
Pity though for the Razer, Hypndisc and Chaos 2 teams because they were revolutionising robots.

What ever happened to................

George was at the Easter Robot Rumble with Chaos 2 but static only, as was Stinger, 13 Black and Steel Avenger as I remember. I never did get around to asking Jackie if I could wear that breastplate of hers :sad:

What ever happened to................

Evil Weevil?

In Series 7, Kim Davis had to leave the team to work as a technical assistant on the show, so the Panic Attack team was changed, now with Evil Weevils Kevin Pritchard at the controls.

What happened to the robot... unknown.
