Attention all users. It seems that we have some confusion about which individual robots deserve their own articles and which ones don't. I'm pretty sure I've never made an official announcement on this so here goes. As far as I'm concerned, any robot that has appeared on Robot Wars is elligible for its own article. If we are going to make this a complete database for all things Robot Wars, we should eventually have an article for every robot that ever competed.

We can keep the old Competitor robots page as it is but add the champion robots that are not currently included and add links for all the robots that have their own articles. Also, the robot articles should be specifically about that robot and not other robots by the same team. It's probably fine to have all the Firestorm or Plunderbird robots in one article for example, but robots like Groundhog should just be mentioned in the article and maybe it could have its own article in the future, if we get that far. Look at the Chaos 2 article as an example of this.

Thank you all for reading this announcement. I hope it clears a lot of things up.
