Machines and Teams
The teams that took part ranged from established Robot Wars competitors (both successful and unsuccessful) to Family Teams and Schools.
Also some of the machines entered attempted to compete in more than one event. For example in Series one Lemming attempted to compete in the Swimming and the Sprint. In series three Mammoth The Robot competed in an unofficial and unrecognised Tri Athlon (on its own) of Cycling, Swimming and the Sprint whilst Bigger Brother and Typhoon Rover (from the same team that produced Typhoon 2)competed in the football and the Assault Course.

Famous quotes containing the words machines and/or teams:
“The machine has had a pernicious effect upon virtue, pity, and love, and young men used to machines which induce inertia, and fear, are near impotents.”
—Edward Dahlberg (1900–1977)
“A sturdy lad from New Hampshire or Vermont who in turn tries all the professions, who teams it, farms it, peddles, keeps a school, preaches, edits a newspaper, goes to Congress, buys a township, and so forth, in successive years, and always like a cat falls on his feet, is worth a hundred of these city dolls. He walks abreast with his days and feels no shame in not “studying a profession,” for he does not postpone his life, but lives already.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
