old robots

[adz600]

where are all the rest robot wars veterans, would love to see razor, chaos 2 (robot the bruce),firestorm and my personal favourite Cassius what a great machine, and many other great robots. would love to see them again seen many of them in robot wars filming many years ago. I wonder EO's if we could persuade some of these great robots out for a show or even show and tell some time .??????

That's still more than most. Count yourself lucky.

Panic Attack & Tornado have run recently as one offs though.

Chaos 2 is dead.
The razer boys sometimes show up at robochallenge.
Xterminator is somewhere, still looks like its in fighting condition. (Series 6)
dunno about others

Chaos 2 has been disassembled?

[playzooki]

It got destroyed beyond repair in a match with 13 Black and Razer.

It got repaired, the last matches for RW were in 2002/2003, I've seen it on display since then at Lettering and Colchester.

Mantis is residing in the basement here, disassembled. Resurrecting it would take quite a bit of work tough.
New batteries, new hydraulic pump/motor/valves and electronics are needed.

Is there a video of the fight? And I am sure I have seen more recent pics of Chaos 2. Though It may have been for display, there was no way to tell.

And a couple of pictures of Chaos 2 from the Finals of the UK Robotic Games in 2005:

Has Hypno-Disc seen the light of day since Robot Wars? I've heard that it has, but I've never actually seen any footage of it as a static display or otherwise... If it happened to be on display at an event at some point, I'd be there in a flash! Same with Lightning too, I know it has appeared more recently after Robot Wars ended, but that was a very cool machine - liked the design a lot!

It's been nice to see Panic Attack and Tornado appear in the odd event recently, it'd be a shame to see some of the old greats appear again instead of disappearing forever.

I do know that some of the old machines have changed teams though, I'm led to believe the Roaming Robots team own Stinger and Pussycat, maybe Mortis but I think that changed hands, then Team Enigma own one of the X-Terminators (series 6 era?) and both Wheely Big Cheeses are being restored/upgraded by separate teams, from what I've heard. Most of that's come from the Robot Wars Wiki though, so I wouldn't count on that being 100% true, but it's as good a place to mention it as any!

[adz600]

mortis also a great robot, shame about chaos 2 and that I have missed panic attack also at events, just shame to have them rusting in sheds that's why I have ceros

[Eventorizon]

The damage to Chaos 2 in that fight doesn't look bad at all. Razer did more damage in the first world championships. Oh well.

[Flag Captured]

From what I've heard, it's more the Psycho hammer of doom that twisted the chassis out of shape than the damage from Razer/13 Black. Though I do agree there, it doesn't look like there's a whole lot of damage at all, I'd assume that it's mostly internal or just damage that's more difficult to spot from a distance...

[playzooki]

Apparently the chassis got all twisted.

I own and run Bulldog Breed for the same reason adz600 got Ceros, I find it such a shame to see them sat in workshops not being used how they should
