Robot Wars: House edition - a completely unique series by Tourdeforce17. Rather than just being about fighting, he has included the gauntlet and trials from series one and two of the original series (like ALJ123456 in Series 2). Updates to the series are less frequent than others due to that fact that he relies on his friend "Emma" (or on one occasion "Robert") to do the filming for him. As there is a lot of uncertainty on how long she'll be round for, they just film one section of the heat. So it takes her coming around three times to complete one heat. There is generally more humor in this series because Tourdeforce17 doesn't edit the footage and Emma misbehaves very often (on one occasion she turned around in the middle of a fight to film Tourdeforce's cat pissing!) but luckily, the people who watch the series find it funny and don't complain! He has just finsihed series 1, who was won by Arkangel. Series 2 has just finished and zelda3908 starred as a guest for the whole series (possibly in return for Tourdeforce appearing in Series 63 of his series). He brought his camera, which meant much better picture and sound quality as well as they could move from the living room to tourdeforce's bedroom. Series 2 was won by Emergency, a legend in FMRW, flipping Zelda's Bak-a-asis out of the arena in the final.

Arena Description: It's very crumpled with low walls (one of which is broken)
It has a pit which is always open and a flipper like the one in Frosty Robot Wars (but is not always seen in the arena). Hazards differ from the event going on.
from the flipper fury onwards, stronger much taller walls for the arena were used. In series one, it was located on tourdeforce's living room floor held up by stacked videos, but for series 2 to his movedto his bedroom
and like robo war- one end elevated by a desk, and theother by TDF's bed (with a section in the middle fo a "bottomless" pit.

Notable robots:
Ceros - a crowd favourite for House edition. It's a slightly modified Toro model (with the horns removed)
It did pretty well in the gauntlet (it completed the course) and but was knocked out by Growler in 10.9 seconds in the Sumo trial. They also managed to knock Panic attack into the pit in the arena section, but then fell foul to Exterminator. They competed in Frosty Robot Wars and won what was probably the closest fight ever against Caution lifter, but they unfortunately lost in the heat final to Bak-a-sis.
There is a similar robot in Frosty robots wars, keeping the name "Toro"


EMERGENCY! - Emergency is a powerful flipper modelled after Bak-a-sis (but was proven to not be as strong)
It hasn't competed in House edition yet, but it is currently completing in Frosty Robot Wars. They defeated Lightning in their heat final and are in the semifinals.

QT - Based on a robot designed by Tourdeforce's camera-women, it's made out "a box of lancelets" (according to him) It has a flipper on the front and an axe at the back. QT was named because it sounds like "Cutie"
In the trial it was flipped by Killalot (the house robots don't like girlie things!)8.4 "meters" into the course and couldn't self-right. It made it through, luckily. It then lasted about 12 seconds in the tug of war letting it through to the arena section. It won the first fight but lost the heat final to Arkangel

Hannibal - essentially Chaos 2 with Paper on the flipper. The flipper is stuck open and will only stay down if Tourdeforce17 holds it. This makes the flipper powerful so it's able to self-right properly (most people just open the flipper and turn it back the right way)
Hannibal was the winners of Heat D of house edition, and was a favourite to win the series until they lost in the eliminators, but they beat Dantomkia in the playoff to get third place. They had a short spell in Frosty Robot Wars but was tossed out of the arena by The Claw; wedgie style.

Arkangel- A modified Biohazard toy with out the armour and weapon. It's a great shover and won Series 1 after surprisingly beating Hannibal and Exterminator to win!!! It competed in Frosty Robot Wars also but lost in the first round when N6 tossed them out


Roll-over - The elephant weights (middleweight in Frosty Robot Wars) champion, they're basically the hull of a thunderbird model with a powerful flipper. They're very noisy however. They lost the second round to Supernova in Frosty Robot Wars after an exceptionally powerful flip tossed them onto the wall and the rolled out


G-Force- The Lightweight Champions (the tournament taking place after the grand final and annihilator of series 1) it's made of lego and is bassically a flipper on a pair of wheels. The flipper is extremely powerful however, flipping many of the other lightweights high into the air and even toppling matilda and growler in one fight! they flipped Vlad Jr. and Bricky out of the arena in the first round , before controversially defeating Pinchy (they lost their flipper but Pinchy were immobilised on their back) before flipping 254 into the pit after a close fight to become champions. They also competed in Frosty Robot Wars but lost the first round after getting a wheel torn off by Table Turner

The Chill-Out Bot Wars

When tourdeforce17 was in primary school, neithe rof his parent scould pick him up when school finished, so he had to go to a club across the road where a few people from different schools went in the same situation. This was called the Chill-Out club. They had loads of toys, but most notably (in TDF's memory anyway) a very,very large stash of K-Nex which spanned a few large boxes. There was a small group of boys at the chillout club who used to love robot wars and always made robots from k-nex (tourdeforce was obviously one of these boys). They hardly ever did tournaments, but always did random fights (but with each individual controlling his own robot, fights were often hard to do). For an arena they normally just used the carpet foor with an imaginary pit and arena hazards, but sometimes used a snooker and hockey table with conveniant pits. tourdeforce normally made the simplest robots, but they were often surprisingly effective. Other members of this little group were mainly tourdeforce's friend alex, bradley and an older boy called anthony (Though since finishing primary school tourdeforce has hardly ever seen any of them again). Some of tourdeforce's robots that he can remeber are listed below:-

Dracula's Fang- A two wheeled robot with two spikeson the front and a very large double-headed axe as a weapon. Their agaility and dangerous weapon made them one of tourdeforce's favourite robots. A second one was made but only hade a few extra spikes for lifting attack and rear defense.

Warrior II- A similar robot to dracula's fang but with a large crushing arm rather than axe and different wheels. Probably the biggest carnage maker, caused a few upsets among battles.

Grinder- A sqaure shaped robot with two rear wheels, and many white circular connectors at the front which acted as saws. again very affective, but had alot of speed on its side as well.

Gemi- This was meant to be sort of super Gemini twin. the flipper wasn't the best but they did have great ramming power. their only truly memorabe batte was against a gemini replica built by Alex and one of Bradley's robots. the gemini replica was the favourite but Gemi rammed them constantly and did good work against bradley's robot as well. Gemi won on a judge's (Alex) decision but seeingas it was meant to be a first round mellee, Gemi and Bradley's robot went through too.
