The Raging Scotsman was built by the Piedmont Scotbots (FTC team #3873). Ray Billings of Last Rites fame mentors a team (not sure which) and is always trying to get more combot builders to do the same. I am sure there many more that I don't know of.
As for myself, I am a Team 79 alumnus and mentor. I built Gruff before joining the USF Robotics Interest Group, but we now compete as a team (RIG also competes with several lower weight class combat robots).
For what it's worth, Gruff is the only combot running an IFI control system.
