The third and final contestant is the mad loner. They all have potbellies, T-shirts bearing the name of their local pub, and a remote control so comprehensive that it comes in two sections. Their spokesman is eloquent and verbose, the others smile weakly and waggle the aerial. Here, men with beards talk about voltage regulators and strontium carbonate pickaxes.
The second form of contestant is the team of nutters. Ken paws the remote and Sonny quivers his bottom lip while the TV audience howls with laughter. Sonny is wearing his school uniform and is obviously delighted with his creation, a Fisher Price affair that ends up malfunctioning, on fire, or only going in circles within ten seconds of the start.
Dad’s friend Ken is in similar attire, only the suit is a size too small and the shades are from a 99p carousel outside Boots. The first is the family outing, where dad comes decked out in his funeral suit and a pair of '80s Ray Bans. As you may know, there are in fact just three categories of contestant on Robot Wars.
