[Joe (Joe Brown)]

In the red corner, hometown hero, you know them, you love them, it’s “Fearless” Bhuge!
And hoping to end their season before it even begins, in the blue corner, The Technical Gremlin!
It’s the match of the century, only at BBB Beetle Brawl 2026 Saturday 28th February at St Michael’s Centre, Bristol.

Reckon you could take the crown from our champions? National signups run on a lottery system, open from 7-8pm at bbb.gd/brawl on Wednesday 7th January. Proof of mobility will be due Sunday 15th February.

Or perhaps you’d rather be part of our live audience? Spectator tickets are available now from bbb.gd/tickets

I’d love that art as a poster if you ever considered doing merch or DSC was going to do a run.

[Joe (Joe Brown)]

Brawl competitors! We’re one month out, and less than two weeks until the proof of mobility deadline! (end of 15th Feb) Get yours submitted to bbb.gd/pom

A reminder it’s not a finished robot we require just a newly fimed clip of your entry driving on the ground with all electronics contained. Please get in touch if there’s any issues or if you wish to drop as soon as you know so we can give our patient reserves a chance to compete. Many thanks

[Joe (Joe Brown)]

Honestly brings me joy when we do these collages - the UK scene continues to be so diverse and fun!! Make sure you tune in to the stream on Saturday from 11! bbb.gd/stream
