| - The Hassocks Hog was a competitor from West Sussex that fought in Series 6 and Series 7 of Robot Wars. Two different versions entered, but both were wedge-shaped with lifting weaponry, and both lost their only battles. Noel Poncelet was convinced to build the machine by his three sons, Jonathan, Robert and Daniel, who were all huge fans of Robot Wars, with encouragement from his wife Jude. "I had thought for some time about building a robot because all three of my children really loved watching the carnage each Friday night. My wife Jude had also suggested several times that I should have a go, but I wasn't too sure how or where to start. But always wanting a challenge I "bit the bullet" and joined the Robot Wars club in February 2000. For the first six months I bounced ideas of various people, including my father, brothers, and friends. I was hoping my brothers would take on some of the design work, but since we lived in different parts of England, it was not easy to get things moving very fast. In the end I decided to do the majority of design work myself, and bring other people in as-and-when required later on." — Noel Poncelot on The Hassocks Hog website
