Firstly, in our defence, let me just say they started it. Inspired by the new lego bulldozer, with its power functions, remote control system and grinding tracks, Blue team decided to lay down a challenge.

"Let's buy that, and make machines to fight each other"

We quickly divided into two teams, each with our own strengths and weaknesses.

The villainous and dastardly Blue Team

Blue Team have their own website, here.

• Seemingly unlimited budget
• Lots of available time for development
• Team includes an actual tank mechanic

The utterly reasonable, awesome and charismatic Red Team

• Large stock of lego to begin with, including esoteric and old parts
• Well-organised collection
• Fueled entirely by coffee, tea and energy drinks

More to come...
