Roaming Robots held an event at the Barnsley Metrodome on February 17, 2008. “For the first time, we headed up north to Barnsley at their Metrodome Leisure Complex to put on two action-packed, fun-filled shows. Once again, we had it all from robots

being flipped out of the arena, fire in the arena, arena hazards doing their duty, and also an added bonus of Star Wars popping in to keep the audience in check in between the fights.” Well done to the two heavyweight winners Envy and Kan-Opener, and the two feather weight winners Pain in the Asp and Cyberon.
