Respective answers:

What A Silly Project

...nope, got me stuck there. One of the team?

Ostensibly, the World Association Of Robotics (WAR) but in practice I somehow doubt that

Wolverine

Well, Stomp were the first, and I dont think they entered before...but Twister were the first in the main competition and they were various incarnations of Beserk previously.

Piece de Resistance and Death Warmed Up (both great fun )

The Executioner (mark 1)

Grunt, Eubank the Mouse, (WYSIWYG kind of counts and doesnt, it was built by one of the judges (Eric Dickenson) and somehow ended up filling space in RW but wasnt a BBC entry)

You must be joking, if youre not gimme half an hour and Ill get back to you

Ants: Odyssey (although counting the RW Extreme fights Combatant may or may not be equal by now)
Featherweights: No one robot has won more than once I believe
Lightweights: Same here
Middleweights: Typhoon
Heavyweights: Chaos 2
Super Heavyweights: Only ran once I believe, Kick Robut won

Daves Difficult Robot Wars Quiz

Joey did pretty much annihliate my quiz, lol. My number 15 hasnt been answered correctly yet though. I will make up a harder one!

2 was a racing motorbike

13 is an ambiguous question, you could say mortis is the odd one out cos the other two have fought each other, or king b is the odd one out cos its not on tracks, or 101 is the odd one out for having a CO2 weapon...

20 Was Zeus itallian?

[joey_picus]

Daves Difficult Robot Wars Quiz

The Zeus in series 3 wasnt, the Zeus in Extreme 2 that was beaten up badly by Black Hole was.
