Bristol Uni Ant weight Robot Wars

So I found these guys the other day, a group of people at Bristol uni making fighting robots!

Some cool bots on display. I managed to talk to one of them and pointed them here.

Did anyone get in touch with these guys? I'm sure they'd love to come to an AWS one time.

I love these guys so much. So glad some of them are going to come to the AWS. Do they employ the 4" cube rule? It kinda looks like they do.

Nicholas Cagefighter is a superb name.

And the two battles here, SpinTop vs Terra and SpinTop vs Stan-Lyrd are hilariously good.
