Rampaging Chariots Guild


The primary aim of the Rampaging Chariots Guild is to interest young people in engineering through the construction and operation of robots designed to take part in various sporting challenges.

The Guild consists of unpaid volunteers and all funds are used to further the aims of the Guild.

We hope you enjoy making this Rampaging Chariot and in doing so learn a lot about robotics, engineering and electronics. We wish you success in competitions and also in improving and modifying your basic Rampaging Chariot design.

About the Guild

The members are all senior staff at Selex Sensors and Airborne Systems.  The Guild was formed in 2005 when Team Typhoon, the Robot Wars Grand Champions, retired from combat robotics after the 2005 Robot Olympics in San Francisco and decided to concentrate on sporting robots.
