[mattsdragons]

Just a but if FRA knowledge, who was the youngest owner and operator if a robot in the main categories?

What I mean by that is bought/built, owned and run themselves, not by parents etc?

I'm also 15, and have built/drive robots, (only a few) but I know there's people younger, like Ben (hard times) etc are younger.

Wow, I am so old (well, 20) that if I had been building robots at 15 I could have entered robotwars! Well series 7, the very last one...

I really am getting old!

Not quite sure how that would work, considering it ended in 2003.

Re: Youngest owner and operator?

See, its so long ago that I cant even remember when it ended...

7 years! :shock:

So my last chance would have been when I was 13, and if i was to take part in the first series I would have had to be building robots at the age of 7!
