Team Big Brother

Team Big Brother was a team that competed in the third series onwards of Robot Wars. The team was captained by Joe Watts, who was only six years old when the team first competed in Series 3, and he was joined by his father Ian who drove the robots. In Series 3 they were joined by Wayland Twiston-Davies and in Extreme 1 onwards Joe's little sister Ellie joined the team. They were also joined by Ian's wife Cath and their other daughter Megan in the pits, the latter of whom made a small cameo during the televised show.



The team originally entered Series 3 with Big Brother, named by Joe because he is big brother to his two little sisters. For Series 4 onwards, the team entered the similarly designed Bigger Brother, which also briefly competed in Nickelodeon Robot Wars. The team had reasonable success, reaching three series semi-finals and the Grand Final of Series 5, losing only to Razer. They also won the Minor Meltdown in Extreme Series 2.

In addition to Robot Wars, the team also entered various other televised robot combat competitions. They entered Battlebots with Bigger Brother and a modified version of the robot called Little Sister. They also entered Techno Games with a weaponless version of Bigger brother called Big Bro in the Football and Obstacle course events.
