One could be the fact that you are obsessed with a murderer...

You know what, GTM has at least 11 people with autism (that includes Aspergers). According to epidemiological studies 9 in 1000 children aged eight and under (and I don't think Autism manifests itself after age eight) have autism. So either a). some of you are lying or b). this forum attracts a large number of autistic people.

Robotics in general attracts a large number or autistics.  I do believe there is a strong correlation between a penchant for robots and an affliction of Autism.  There do seem to be a fair number of teams on Robot Wars that could be on the specturm.

Like?

Beserk definetely, cos the captain was deaf. Don't think there aree any others I know of. There are a few that I think but I'm not sure.

[Resetti's Replicas]

erm non, deaf =/= autistic.
 
The ones who mumble or aren't terribly articulate, have little stage presence, or come across as abrasive (not the play-acting kind like Plunderbird).

I do like the mechanics and aesthetics of them, personally, rather than the KILLKILLKILL destruction aspect of them. I actually think the first two UK Series were better than the next five, despite the relatively crap machines.

To continue that at the Franklin there were at least two competitors with aspergers or autism to some degree.

And to answers 123's question about social life,

I have a fairly normal social life.

Where's Backlash? Is it finished?

Yeaah, didn't you know, we've all downloaded it now.

I personally think that doesn't make sense. It's called "Robot Wars" for a reason.

But what makes a good war machine? Some people like the fight, some people like what's inside, some people like both

I believe he's referring to the appeal in how they could be adapted for tasks other than simply fighting- you know, like obstacle courses or football, for instance.

[Natef]

What's the point of the Protoman whistle?

That's more or less what I'm getting to. If you put Typhoon 2 in an Assault Course or Sumo match, it would fail miserably.

[Natef]

Well that's pretty obvious, since it was made for combat only.

She also had some sort of hat on, and she was smiling.

Ah. Torangi?
