BBC Robotwars Fighting Radio Controlled Robot - Ruf Ruf Dougal

Series 6 Qualifying July 2002

Without any action from myself the applications forms for Series 6 dropped through my letterbox early in the year. I knew this year would be difficult since time and priorities were different. I'd just been offered a new job which needs a house move, both my motorbikes were broken and we are expecting a new baby.

I decided to re-enter Ruf Ruf Dougal without too many modifications but this years qualifying was real fighting with the winner definitely qualifying. Was he really capable of winning? I wasn't convinced but what the hell.

We were phoned to say we would be fighting in the qualifiers on 3rd July at RAF Newton near Nottingham. This year all the series was being filmed at this old RAF base because Big Brother was being filmed at Elstree.
It's very near my brothers and parents houses so the location couldn't be better for us.

Our four way qualifying fight was against, Brutus Maximus, Mr. Nasty and Anarchy. Needless to say we didn't win our fight but we were still going unlike 2 others........
