I would love to take St Hammer to the US but funds would not stretch to that far.

john. . . How much does it cost to take a heavy weight?

They now have a robots must have an active weapon rule for Battlebots, so would Saint Hammer qualify under that? Its a bit of a grey area isnt it.

Some idea of costs:
Shipping the robot (maybe out by air, back by sea, we walk it through customs): £500-700.
Hire of an SUV for 10 days: £340
Hotel room: £80 per night - they quite often have two double beds.
Return flight: £450

Is Carmen Electra going to present it again?

After she insulted Ian Lewis and starred in the [banned] movie ever made, Disaster Movie?

I doubt it.

John many thanks for the cost breakdown; it shows without sponsors this trip is beyond my finances at the moment.
Dave I don€™t know if St Hammer would qualify I think they are more concerned with wheeled boxes crashing into each other, as that would be a bit boring for the viewers to watch. The Saint is a lot of bad things, but it has not to date been described as boring so hopefully it would be ok.
Lj Only 9 Heavies that doesn€™t sound that many to me either perhaps they have €œSilly Politics over the pond too!!€
I still think we should lay down a challenge 10 on 10 Ten of their best to ten of ours. With the new arena that Craig has perhaps we could do it.

Battlebots return?!

Saint Hammer certainly isnt boring. But then, I never found all pusbots boring. Maybe Im just too forgiving. lol.

Battlebots return?!

craig, ye just look on the RFL forum, they MOAN more then us! there will be more robots attending there they just havent signed up yet or realised its there best chance of getting the sport on TV again - but ye i priced it all up today for 2 of us and its alot without sponsors but iv got my dad to think about it but got another more important event to think about before battle bots :sad: battlebots should just put 10 grand a side to take over 5 of our bots but without a TV deal set they prob havent got that much :/

push bots r boring for the TV thats why there not allowing them but it depends you can get them to have weapons which make them abit better kind of like sewer snake and storm

and 10 v 10 vs USA - we would kill them we would just let KO get megabyte though lol
