Once a year, a motley selection of remote controlled, uncontrolled, and just plain bizarre contraptions made of Lego, cardboard, chipboard, plasterboard and lots of Gaffer tape do battle.
Some people take it more seriously, though.
But I wanted to do something new. So, with this year being 2001, I finally got around to it. OK, it was completely cowardly. It spent most of its time dithering about in one corner of the arena, being startled occasionally by a terrifyingly small and fluffy toy which shared its little dancing area and never once moved. Back to the drawing board before we tackle Robot Wars methinks.
