BUDDING engineering students from West Thames College were thrilled to get to grips with a real robot thanks to lecturer Lloyd Davies, who designed one for the TV series Robot Wars.
Mr Davies and his team's creation, Victor's Revenge, battled it out for the title of World Champion as part of the Seven Cities Live Tour, held at London Arena Dockland over the summer.
Now the engineering tutor at the site in London Road, Isleworth is generously allowing his students to get up close to his pride and joy to give them a real hands-on experience.
He said: "It was great fun designing the robot, but its been brilliant being able to use it as part of the students course as its an excellent way of demonstrating engineering processes."
