What makes Trolley Rage unique...

The team consists of two senior managers from the Faculty of Engineering and Science at the University of Greenwich, one of their sons and a second-year student. Despite Gareth being the only member of the team with any fighting experience (with over 30 events with his own heavy weight robots) the team decided to take part when local schoolchildren challenged Simeon and Raj to build a heavyweight robot for Robot Wars as part of their annual Schools Robot Wars challenge.
