Robot 'Fight Club' sees boffins battle bots over beer in Bristol pub backrooms
Bristol Bot Builders say they were first inspired to become android gladiator champs after revisiting the iconic BBC TV series 'Robot Wars' originally hosted by Craig Charles in the 1990s. One of the group's founders, Joe Brown, told The Sun: "We realised that Robot Wars was not just a TV show, but a hobby, and that people were building smaller and cheaper bots at home,"We combined beer, pizza and small robots as a bit of fun and it's kept going ever since."Participants build small machines that can weigh up to 110kg and are given two to three minutes to fight it out with their opponents.
