Retirement
After five years of appearing on BBC channels, the seventh regular series of Robot Wars was broadcast by Five. Razer did not participate and, following the cancellation of the series, was retired from combat. The team then started to hire apprentices to help them in independent robotics demonstrations. Razer now appears in non-combat demonstrations at displays and events organised by Robo Challenge, a robotics demonstration company.

We may boldly spend, upon the hope
Of what is to come in.
