Robot Wars, the 90s television show where homemade robots battle it out with each other & the professionally built ("house") robots, returns to the TV!

I wonder if TeamLTT could enter (maybe aim for the next series) and show us their efforts at building/testing along the way?

Admins: I see there's an off-topic thread about this, but thought it worthy of Tech News.

You should probably format this to explain the article more. The suggestion for LTT to enter should be a side note, not the majority of the content.

In its current state, this isn't newsworthy. :P

Wishing leads to ambition and ambition leads to motivation and motivation leads to me building an illegal rocket ship in my backyard.

They wouldn't know where to start. Some of them know how to code, but I don't think any of them know how to build the electronics.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

fair enough, but building a robot that can compete in robot wars isn't quite the same thing.

We briefly saw him program a robot IN scratch, does that count?

This would be everyone's reaction if we tried to enter Robot Wars.

I think they could build a robot, but I am unsure if they could keep doing 1 video a day.

They could enter but wouldn't win. Their robot would be rushed and put together poorly and then dismantled shortly after the video is done.
