Yes indeed. Robot Wars (which started all this back in ’94) began having problems in 1996, when a dispute broke out between the partners that owned it. Countless court cases later, and cancelled 1998 and 1999 events, the organization as a whole was crippled by the dispute, Robot Wars has basically met an untimely death. Only time will tell what actually happens with this event, thankfully, there are alternatives out there such as BattleBots. If you want to read more on this subject, please check out my History page, and there are even more details about the problems surrounding Robot Wars in my journal archives at the bottom of the What’s New page. Also, I’ve been tracking a bunch of public announcements and legal documents made available on the case on my Letters page.
