Good list, but where's Ciaran Byrne, of Team Nemesis? He was the guy who was always fixing other robots in the pits. For instance, after one of Hypno-Disc's spinner teeth broke off, Ciaran welded it back on. Oh, and let's not forget the time they gave Nemesis to that Aussie team during the International Championship. They won the Sportsmanship Award three times for crying out loud. He also always loved making the people watching laugh, which is probably why their robots were covered in flammable fur, and stuff like kebabs were stuck into poor old Diotoir for the, as we Irish say, the craic. I saw him at a FRA event in Dublin in early 2017, where before the match, he was pranking people coming into the arena. He was doing the commentry for the fights. He was actually really good at it and I really felt his enthusiasm for the sport (in fact, he actually saw the Pre-TV Robot Wars events in the USA and when he heard it was staring in the UK, he got some army mechanic buddies, and they started building Nemesis for Season 1. While I was at the event, I asked him was he going to build the Son of Diotoir, and he said yes. "It's going to be faster, stronger more powerful!" I just hoped he would put in a srimech!
