;D
That's a very good question, and I'm not too sure I can answer it accurately. I suppose it all happened shortly after the first time I watched Robot Wars back in 2001. That first episode I watched was a Series 3 heat and it had Pitbull in it. Over time I kept watching the show as it progressed (and discovered its American brother, Battlebots, on a neighbouring channel as well) and some time in 2002 after watching it for over a year I searched for a Robot Wars site and found the RW Forum. I'll admit that I didn't have any idea what the feck to do though, XD but eventually after posting in The Local Thread for a while I ventured into Fan Fic. Obviously I was an idiot at the time (having blatantly argued a lie that a fictional bot I had was in fact real, called Ultra Gore) but I finally made a stat of stats for my first actually competitive vapourbot, Wedginator. Obviously those set of stats are long gone, but they're by all means not worthy of remembrance at all. XD And yet, it managed to defeat Hammerer 2.0, Overkill, get 4th in Pinball in VFT4, and put up a great fight against Scottishly Fictional, a vapourbot by Scott Anderson, and a great one at that, IMO. This got me enthralled, and before I knew it I was making sets of stats here and there and everyfuckinwhere. At one point I had 10 LWs, MWs, HWs, and SHWs. XD
But the Robot Wars Discussion Forum, and Wedginator were my true start of Vapourboteering, yes
