Robo Challenge concept "HeliGolf" has now gone viral!

Remember when Team Robo Challenge helped Suzi Perry win the golf challenge a few months ago on The Gadget Show? Well, since our "Heligolf" creation aired the concept has gone from strength to strength! "Suzi Perry's Heligolf" was developed into a online game that was so popular it crashed the Gadget Show website and today the game has been released on Facebook!



Fancy a go? You can play it by searching for "Heli-Golf" on facebook.

We wish it every success :)

Gadget Show Live 2011: Robo Challenge

Since our last post Team Robo Challenge have been busy preparing for one of our biggest and most exciting events of the year! April 12th - 16th saw Robo Challenge exhibit at The Gadget Show Live 2011, NEC, Birmingham. This year we had a fully interactive feature stand alongside our good friends at the Gadget Show signing area!

Our aim was to inspire, excite and motivate visitors with a display of all our high profile engineering projects for both North One TV & the BBC. We were also promoting our unique Educational Workshops for Schools and Team Building Corporate Events. Since the exhibition closed, we have been delighted with the response we have had and have featured in many high profile blogs and reviews!

Over the week we had a really exciting programme of events lined up that certainly drew the crowds!


This included the Finals of the UK Fighting Robots 2011 UK Championships and live demonstrations of some of the most destructive Fighting Robots in the UK!


As well as, the exclusive launch of the new Robo Challenge Mini Bots (soon to be available to buy online at www.robochallenge.co.uk) which were also a popular feature on the stand!



Great supporter of Team Robo Challenge and Gadget Show presenter Jason Bradbury stopped by to look around the stand and demonstrate his "Kung-Fu Jase" skills on the Kung Fu Robot we built for him!




Also on display were other Robo Challenge engineered TV build's such as Pollyanna's Chainsaw Power Tool Dragster, The Boat that Guy built projects, The Gadget Show fighting robot Satan's Mutt, our Paintball Robots, Heligolf project and Ortis' EDF Jet Powered Bike! 

If you visited, we hope you enjoyed our stand as much as we did! Roll on next year!
