Derek Foxwell is a British engineer, most famous for his role as Senior Technical Consultant on British game shows Robot Wars and Techno Games. He was responsible for overseeing the running of all series of Robot Wars prior to Series 8, although his involvement dates back earlier than this. In 1995, Foxwell was commissioned by the BBC to design three robots for the 1995 UK Open Championship, one of which was possibly The Mouse. After the success of the pilot, Foxwell was taken on full-time as a technical consultant, alongside Mat Irvine, who was later promoted to the judges panel.
