Guy from dominator 2 team works at my collage!

[calumco]

i was walking around my collage today and infront of me a man walks out of 2 double doors wearing a lab coat, then turns and walks right by me and i stood still in amazment thinking thats the guy who had the robot dominator 2 it was the bigger guy who was with the team up untill the 6th wars who i think used to be the driver.

the doors where he came out from go to a workshop type thing in my collage and the workshop im in is a bit further down the hall so im sure ill bump into him again and ill ask him if hes the guy and also where dominator is now

also am i right in thinking that dominator isnt active anymore?

watch this space as i will report back!

i think their was a new dominator at one point? Peter halloway was the main guy i think, didnt have alot of hair, then you had paul the tall guy with a tash, team was from huntingdon.

There was a Dominator 3, which to my knowledge, only ever appeared at Billings Aquadrome the once.

The axe mechanism blew itself apart and Mighty Mouse punched a hole in its 3mm thick welded titanium shell. I have not seen it since. Must be gathering dust in a garage somewhere. Introduce yourself Calum, and ask him where it is, I might even buy it off him.

I wonder how many robots there are out there just sat in garages gathering dust. I would guess its a fair few!

I agree, some of these vetaren teams were still had a new and better design which I think would have been marvelous to see. They now rust in gararges without ever seeing any action Sush as:

Steel avenger 2
Cassius 3
Chaos 3

if any of you remember barberous 2, the guy who made it- simon raferty told me if robotwars came back he would definatly take his robot back on the show

I wouldnt say that Steel Avenger and Chaos 2 are rusting in garages. They usually make guest appearances at Robot Rumble as do John, Jackie and George. And as for Cassius 3, although it may not be there, Rex most certainly is.

Its not just a lack of TV that prevents some people (although not all) from being on the live circuit, they have other commitments such as jobs, families and mortgages to take care of first.

I didnt meant the original robots, I meant that both teams had designed new versions of thoes robots (I saw the new version of SA 2 part done in a real robots magazine issue). I have never seen these versions work and I dont think that anyone else has, if so then where else could they be other than having the projects scrapped and dissasembled.

ill still stick with what i said about TV - if it was back people would be back

battle bots has proven it - theres more then double signed up to go then there was at robogames last year and there will be more signing up

mortgages, jobs, families do not get in the way of robot events, were having nearly an event every month most the time more then 1 event so theres plenty on the calender unless the 200bots+ who used to be about all work every weekend of the year - its a family hobby the majority of roboteers come in families - its not the most expensive hobby either its pretty cheap - football used to cost me more then robots do

but tbh i dont even care about all the old robots - were putting on shows with more then enough robots and iv also made more money in 2007/2008 then we ever did from robot wars - there the 1s missing the great social life we have at the weekend events while there sitting at home next to there boring wifes moaning at them - o and all the old robots suck they would all get killed by the current bots

FRA, you must have contact details for most the old lot? most of them prob signed up to this forum - send them all an email telling them were still around might get some of them interested again
