The Roaming Robots Class 2 Arena set up at Wicksteed Park for the UK Championships 2006
The 2006 UK Championships was a big event hosted by Roaming Robots. It was well known for being the first big full-combat event since the dissapearance of Robot Wars TM due to it featuring a lot of destructive spinners. The event was hosted at Wicksteed Theme Park in Kettering on the 23rd-27th August 2006 as it was a venue Roaming Robots used to visit every year before. The Heavyweight class was won by Turbulence, Captain Scarlett won the Featherweight tournament and it was also the first event of the year to host the Tanja Smith Memorial.
