Cardboard War Hog.  I always liked how this one looked, even if it didn't ever win a battle.  The face isn't just painted on, it's actually a relief-style set of cardboard pieces.  The nose, tusks, nostrils, and green spots are all custom colors.

Flippers were so dull in the last couple series of RW. As madman said, the whole flipping OOTA concept was so overused, it went from "Wow" to "Sigh".


You can blame that on the discovery of Hardox.  Hypno Disc didn't get weaker, its opposition got stronger.


Also, all of the non-RW competitions had to ban spinners
Hardox was only really used on TaN IIRC.


I think Dantomkia used it too, but more broadly, a lot of robots in S6 had super tough armor.

Beta from the Killerhurtz/Terrurhurtz guys.  Built for Battlebots but couldn't compete due to ripping up the floor.


Robot the Bruce and Chaos 1 - you can probably figure out who made those


Z, TerMinal frenZy, and The Bat from the frenZy guys.

The Dr Inferno Jr guy built a rather unsuccessful heavyweight called Towering Inferno.

"It’s not, in the end, fair to compare Battlebots and Robot Wars in their 2000 incarnations, since it’s obvious that four years of network exposure will lead to more interest and entries than a rookie show on a cable channel. There have been a couple of attempts before to pit British and American robots against each other, and the lack of American experience has been obvious. However, before we get too cocky, perhaps we should remember how we used to regularly win the Ryder Cup too… I’ve no doubt that the Americans’ day will come.


That's funny too.


The devil's in the details.  The guy was comparing Series 4 of Robot Wars to Season 1.0 of Battlebots  - the erstwhile most recent things from their respective countries.  I'm going to gander that the PPV and underground US RW competitions weren't available for viewing at the time in England.  So it IS fair to say that at the time, Battlebots was the "rookie" show.  Even if you include untelevised battlebots competitions, that still comes out to 3 competitions over 2 years against Robot Wars' 4 series over 4 years.  Also remember that the only UK vs US occurence was that crappy bot Prometheus from the 1st world championship

The Informant.  Freaking boring movie and not funny, an aging Matt Damon brings absolutely no substance to the picture.  Walked out after about 15 minutes  Very glad I watched it for free On Demand.

the lorax

it was an ok movie and all but it had absolutely nothing to do with the book its based off of, its like they took some movie they made previously and just slapped some lorax-related characters right before realese on it to make munnys


So I take it the ending wasn't the same buzzkill as the original?

The guys in charge of Battlebots were former competitors themselves.  They were experts at putting on a self-serving display, but came up short in terms of moneymaking, branding, and sustainability.

Bugs are really fascinating.  I found this little guy on the windowscreen.  So if anyone else happens to see any cool looking bugs, post them here.
