Isn't there a Monty Python battle strategy of "Run away!"

That's my alma-mater. The guys who did this are only about 14 or 15
years old !

Nice one lads.

Yes, it used to be run on Technogames and looked quite impressive. The
model that was really *weird* to watch in action, though, was the
little motorcyclist. I'm still not sure how they made that work!

Cute, but not (what most folk here would call) a robot.
It's remote-controlled, it doesn't balance itself. It
also drives through a freewheel hub, which means it can't
reverse.
