As many of you are aware BattleBots has been commissioned in America on ABC. UK competitors have now shipped their machines off and not eagerly awaiting our flights out at the end of the week to go and take on the Americans in the BattleBox for the first time a series has been filmed for 12 years!
There was a very tough application process, normally they had well over 100 heavyweights turn up - this time it's down to 24 of the worlds best which required full drawings and designs of the machines, wiring diagrams and team videos.
Sadly not all the UK teams made it through which we are gutted about as I think there was great potential for them, but 3 teams got accepted into the show and 2 others on the reserves list.
Team Razer: Ian, Simon, Gillian & James
Team Robo Challenge: Grant, John & Mouldy
Team Makerobotics: Kane, Ant & Kevin
Team Robots Live: Alan, Sam, Helen
The other team have not yet announced publically that they're going yet so I will keep this quiet until they say.
Really looking forward to this now, we have all had a very exciting couple of months re-designing and building our new machines to take over and I must admit they're looking good! We will post pictures as and when we can, however we currently need to keep most of it under wraps.
