Robowars a History

We don't have a wikipedia article and I would be interested in writing one to document the robot combat movement in Australia.

Any information on the beginnings of this in Australia would be helpful, important events and dates such as the first public competition and who fought, I know a bit about Victoria but how about the other states, Who noticed Robot wars and how did things catch on?

Remember history class?

Well I can't remember when we had the first meeting here in QLD but i would guess it was early 2003. I do know the first Metal Mayhem event at Andrews was 30/6/2003 with 6 robots. I still have pics and video of that.
I don't know the first House of Carnage event except it was early 2005?

I do know the first Marayong event was 1/11/2003
