Team Datovidny
We are Team Datovidny, David and Tony. We are brothers from the South-Western county of Cornwall. We also have our own page on Roaming Robots Wiki, under the name of Wikia Veteran, this was issued in the beginning of October. It is I (David) that deals with everything that goes on with us on Wikia.

Background
Having watched Robot Wars from the beginning (live on occasions) we have learnt a lot. However, we are only just entering the practical side of Robotics for three main reasons; 1, we are only now of an age where we can understand how a robot works; 2, our father was not willing to help us those years ago when Robot Wars was being shown; and 3, by the time we were ready to start building robots, Robot Wars had stopped being aired, so we had less desire to start building a robot anyway.

We have only begun building robots recently.

Our Robots
With being such fans of Robot Wars, we have designed dozens of robots, and built some as featherweights, below is a list of those already built.

Slightly Blighty

Scraptosaur

Peril Penguin

(Peril Penguin is currently still under construction)

Competition
As even the first of our machines was built and completed only very recently, we have not competed with them in any Robotic fighting events or shows yet.

Wikia Contributions
We have been a part of Wikia for little less than two months and combined we have made 270 edits to the main wiki. Our first edit was on The Gauntlet page on 7th September 2010 and since we have created (from scratch) the following pages:

Robot Wars Extreme: Series 1/German Melee

Category:Heats won by a newcomer

Doodlebug

Automatic Jack

Death Jester

Also there have been many other pages that we have made contributions to, some are major and cover paragraphs and many are just the addition of some sentences or just a few words. A large amount of our edits have been images being added onto other pages to do with the topic in question. Aside from the pages we've created there are some pages that we have contributed to inparticular as they were originally very small articles:

Shove

Bottweiler

Mini Maul

Wharthog

Soc'em

Rosebud

Top 10 Favourite Robots
Despite only beginning to watch Robot Wars during Series 3, I videoed the vast majority of them as they were being aired, we can still watch them now (as we are probably one of the only families that have a VCR still working in their house) and I've watched several youtube clips of the previous series that we missed. So I've seen every robot that has qualified for a series and many others that didn't, but even out of every single one I have my top 10 favourite robots from Robot Wars!

1. Wheely Big Cheese

The team always used to make me chuckle in pre and post-match interviews, and whenever Wheely Big Cheese was preparing for a battle I always got excited as I knew I would be in for a good and entertaining battle. I found the design intreging and inspiring as the design at least made Wheely Big Cheese seem invincible. I also felt sorry for the team a lot of the time as they regularly suffered very bad luck in Robot Wars, particularly towards the end of Wheely Big Cheese's Robot Wars career. I knew that Wheely Big Cheese was my favourite robot as soon as I realised that I was more disappointed than usual when they went out of any competition. I also found myself very fond of this robot's predecessor Big Cheese as they were both very similar in design.
