Team Yellow Alert began competing on the Robotwars.co.uk forum in 2001, and has been active in vaporbot tournaments almost continuously since then, shifting over to FRA in 2003 and then ARC in 2006, where it has maintained a presence ever since. All robots from the team are designed and computer-animated by Nick Schuch (BEES).
As of May 2018, excluding very old FRA tournaments, it has 4 championships, 3 runner-ups, and 38 playoff placements.
