Were are they now

[RogueTwoRobots]

The picture surfaced recently, but I don't recall seeing any timestamp on it, so the picture itself could be several years old. Everything looked a bit too clean or intact for things that haven't been used in over ten years.

I'm with Dave on this one, not holding my breath, especially after years of the question getting asked over and over again. At the end of the day, what were beloved icons of a historic TV show to us were just stage props to the production company/TV folk.

Well still no reply from channel 5. Maybe I might get a reply mid week

I have seen a photo of another house robot called shove that wasn't on TV.
I think it was the original ref bot

Well yes, its quite well known

And being honest, you not think if it was that easy we wouldnt know where the house robots are by now?

Chances are no one from Five will know, so I doubt you'll get an answer from them. The actual making of the show would be done by a production company with the footage then given to Five to air.

Mentorn produced Robot Wars, so they would have been the owners of the House Robots. As for shove it was still being used during the qualifying rounds as a clear up Bot. It was built by students for Derek Fox.

They might have belonged to the BBC Visual Effects department - which would be aa dead end as that ended a year later.

What's that bottom right corner. I can`t make it out

[robotic_ants]

Looks like it could possibly be ref bot in the bottom right.

[J.A.G]

Dear James

Thank you for your recent enquiry regarding Robot Wars. We apologise for the delay in responding.

This series was produced for us by Mentorn Productions and we do not have any information on what happened to the house robots after it was broadcast on Channel 5. Contact details for this production company are available on their official website but please bear in mind that the programme was last produced in 2003/2004 so it is possible they may no longer have any information.

Thank you for your interest in Channel 5.

Yours sincerely


Ian

I still dont get your logic in looking down obvious channels which given the time scale - how you dont think these have been investigated before?

its been over 10 years, if Menton knew any information we didnt know - we would have found out in the various other emails they have been sent throughout the years.
