Let the mayhem begin 

Excellent!  It's about time!!!

Have you seen the US reboot, BattleBots? First season was last year. The machines on that were epic, far above & beyond the 'toys' that were on Robot Wars over here. Quite a few British teams in it, too.

If it's like that, then 

If you haven't seen it, they're on YouTube - clicky

Jees I thought this sort of thing had died a death 10 years ago!  Permanently resigned to the likes of Dave and trash re-run channels.  Remember watching it all the time when I was younger though I think Philippa may have had a bit to do with that.

What goes around, comes around

Drone Wars and Drone Racing is all the rage!

I hope they bring Phillipa back

I told my eldest son (32) about this last evening and caught him measuring up the wheels and motors of my mobility scooter this morning 
I should have kept quiet about it 

You could take part as Davros 

...don't let him nick  the wheels  with  the blades on...

Go Matilda!
