This was taken by one of the other guys who was at the combots thing on sunday
It was fight between a multibot "Death and Taxes" and a more standard bot with a flipping arm and ram "Sewer Snake"
At some point something got damaged in the smaller of the multibots Taxes and it started smoking then caught fire. It filled the arena with toxic smoke and even when extingusihed refused to go out. Suppossedly the batteries were on fire and the stuff they were made of was self oxidising so CO2 fire extinguishers didn't do the job so they eventually had to pry the smoking batteries out of the thing and dowse them in sand to get the things out.
Great fun tho :D

Looks a pretty cool thing to go to. All the robots seem very fast, though I guess the methods of constructing these things has come a long way since Robot Wars.
Is it a once-a-year thing, or do they do that sort of thing regularly?
This outfit had quite different rules from robotwars so it might be they have more lenient weight classes that allows for more power.
I believe it's a once a year thing.
