We are looking for veteran roboteers of Robot Wars who would like to take on the US to contact us immediately. We have a number of American robots in the country this weekend and thought it was too good an opportunity to miss. So if you would like to take part in a one off special called "Robot Wars: The War of Independence" please call us now!

Please contact Mary-Jane at the new Robot Wars Studio from Thursday 20th on 01727-874561 or on her mobile 07769-866608 or alternatively email us at robotwars@mentorn.co.uk.

ALL ROBOTS MUST BE HEAVYWEIGHT OR ABOVE
