The Rose family is planning another attempt to win BBC2's Robot Wars after being defeated in this year's final.
Their home-made machine, Hypno-Disc, was finally halted on Friday.
But Ken Rose and twin sons Dave and Derek, of Nethercote, Banbury, have vowed revenge.
They have already designed the third generation Hypno-Disc for the next series.
