Wheely big cheese - 2 versions, one is with Team Hydra, the other is with someone else who a lot of us fell out with :P
Chaos 2 - In 1 piece, but retired. Last seen at Robot Rumble in 2007
Razer - Comes out for demo's occasionally (Robochallenge only)
Hypno-Disc - Not sure
Tornado - Its back with Andrew Marchant now, been on display with Robot's Live for a while. Can run, but in bad condition.
Firestorm - Not sure, I hope its still intact
Diotoir - Still with the team I think.

Last time I saw Firestorm was at a school event in the Barnard Castle area in 2005 (along with Razer). It was still in full working condition.
I imagine Hypno-Disc is still in one piece with one of the Rose brothers. They intended to enter Series 8 as far as I know but a certain TV channel put paid to that.

Re: robot wars machines - where are they now

The hypnodisc team are considering coming back, they are thinking about building a new machine for the current live events.

Re: robot wars machines - where are they now

I'm assuming Pu$$y is a band word on the forum hence it gets blanked out.

And just in case you were wondering, typhoon 2 has been rebuilt after it was seriously damaged in the USA. Currently in static show spec the plan is get it operating again for demos if there is anywhere that can contain it (unlikely though)

Robochallenge?

Should be okay for at least a sit and spin type thing surely?
