Slippery Strana's Favourite Links

Spartacus (Series 2)
Hazzard and The General (Series 3)
Nicely engineered robots.

Spartacus fought Slippery Strana in the Series 2 melée and Hazzard joined us at Elstree Studios for the aborted Series 3 Lightweight filming.

Team Panic's Home Page	The team who WON the 1998 Series 2 challenge and who hosted the successful Charity Event in Cwmbran, Wales, UK in December 1998. Read my brief report with a (very) few pictures here.
Tectonic RobotWars UK	David Mountjoy's superb site boasts the largest selection of named Series 3 robots available on the internet, with links, interviews and the constuction diary of TRACIE's successor, SHARON.
Robot Wars 101 (Broken link! Has Dave gone?)	Pete Collier's Panda-Monium pages are (were?) proof that there are many ways to make a web site. I should take some lessons from him. Great site. Easy to navigate and chock full of info and humour.
The Dangerous Machines Home Page once boasted the largest collection of RobotWars links	Gone! It was an excellent USA site, but no longer there.
One of the longest-established and most authoritative USA based robot combat sites.	Team Nightmare. Jim Smentowski has a long-established web site and maintains his many links with some automated Java wizardry. Most impressive!
