It'll be repeats, otherwise I would have heard about it :P

When you go to almost every live event in the UK (like me), you tend to realise how bad the robots in robot wars were compared to modern robots, such as Iron Awe 5. The only 2 british robots, capable of winning a compotition from robot wars are big nipper & terrorhurtz

Terrorhurtz has had many rebuilds too, but it is true.. I saw a video on youtube of Typhoon 2 KO'd in one hit =P

Razor would still be competitive in the non spinner competitions I would think.

Search 13 Black Vs. Razer and think again. Also, please stell my favourite robot's name right. Thanks.

Hm, there are actually a couple I can think of. Razer, Storm II, maybe Bigger Brother.

the spell checker changed it (though I suggest you use one before criticizing spelling  :rolleyes: )

Razer is one of my favorites and I have watched it fight since it debuted I know the spelling

also you argument makes no sense, I said razor would be competitive in modern competitions that outlaw spinners (such as Roaming Robots) and you talking about a spinner?

The vestigial 'u' in 'favourite' is acceptable. It's the British way of spelling stuff (they tend to include 'u' in a lot of words).

Oops. Off-topic post lolz.

They won't

The lastest robotic combaton the TV in the UK (not repeats) was robochallenge on the gadget show, this is the only thing that I can see getting onto the screens again, & there is no way that it will ever have a TV program of its own
Title: Re: Robot Wars On Dave Thread Thing
Post by: GoldenFox93 on August 03, 2010, 05:03:39 PM
Right. Still, it'd be great to see a televised contest be hosted in the UK again sometime. I mean, technology's moved on a lot since then, so it'd be great to see a RW spiritual successor.

Maybe you could run a paperview event.

a network just needs to pick up roaming robots, pour a heap of money into it, give them a studio and air time and you have Robots back on TV  :gawe:

Post by: NFX on August 14, 2010, 04:36:21 PM
I have a VHS of the First Wars, First World Championships and Grand Final of the Third Wars. I think the only episode I missed was Heat 12 of Series 3, the one with Evil Weevil, Flip Flop Fly and Tri-Terra-Bot. I was on Holiday, and we were having dinner in a pub at the time. The opening credits came on, and then the cretin behind the counter changed the channel to BBC News. I was angry when we got back to the hotel and I'd missed it all.

All in good quality seeing as I didn't actually tape with tv the a camera. One of these days I need to upload them..

I used to have every single episode of Battlebots ever made on VHS, but my S5 and some S1-3 tapes broke, I could only salvage a few and convert them to DVDs.
