Chatterbox / Re: robot wars or battlebots?« on: March 20, 2012, 08:23:37 AM »Agreed. What I also liked was how in the earlier series, they also showed the more technical aspects of the competitors in their introductions- lifting the bonnet on the robots and showing how everything worked. I thought that was cool.At least up until the seventh series, when it did veer much more towards the destructive competition aspect of things, I reckon. It was already headed in that direction, just from the technology improvements and so forth, but the first couple of series, where you had the Gauntlet, Trials, that sort of thing, it was a lot more about having fun rather than winning. Bots like Diotoir, Cerberus, Milly-Ann Bug, Recyclopse, even Razer to an extent. And at the very least, you were likely to have a complete robot at the end of it, instead of being disassembled by Ziggo or whatever happened in Battlebots to the less robust competitors.Robot Wars didn't take itself too seriously, and always made it clear that the point was to have fun.Aye, that's another thing I liked RW for- you'd never have seen something like Diotoir make it onto TV in Battlebots, for instance. And again, you never saw that on Battlebots- instead it was mostly completely irrelevant filler that ate into the time they could've used to show something relevant, like more fights or technical thingamajigs. 2305

Chatterbox / Re: robot wars or battlebots?« on: March 19, 2012, 07:03:19 PM »Robot Wars. Let's see, Battlebots had commentators (the fact that it's a plural is bad enough) with a combined IQ of the season number, LOTS of needless filler (show of hands, who gives a **** about the Dr. Inferno Jr guy's swing dancing hobby?), blatant preferential treatment (unseeded robots could have to fight as many as four battles to reach the same stage as the seeded ones), blatant overdubbing with fake "metal smashing" sound effects, doing extended interviews pre-match with just one of the teams made it painfully obvious which one would win, Bill Nye painfully misused.That, and not to mention that half the time in the last series, it focused more on Carmen Electra's rack than oh, I don't know, the robots themselves. 2307

Robot Wars, for me. No disrespect to Battlebots, but the former is what I've grown up with.

Is there a view inside?
By the way, what Jonzy there means is that utilising Stock parts in DSL (IE. The bits that came with the original game) is generally frowned upon, unless it's certain wheels or weapons. I do see some potential, though. 2309
