What the hell is that robotica thing

I'm 99% sure it's the guy who built Zero sperging out after winning the obstacle course. He uh... didn't really come across as someone who was "all there". He also brought a robot to Robot Wars US called "Rocky Bot-boa" and came dressed as a boxer.  :dumb)

PS: I love the Top 10 Anime Death Scenes meme with Ultraviolent.
The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

Watched it. Shame that Blacksmith didn't get the flame working in their hammer, not sure if it would have made any difference to Bronco though :) .

Chomp/Disco Inferno was 50/50 but I don't think Chomp will get far, way too tall and top heavy. Warhead's fight was a ye olde Robot Wars UK meet up (did Razer and Mortis ever fight each other?).

Going forward, I can't see anything yet that will get near Son of Wyachi without getting smashed, the other Wyachi robot (small flat disc robot, can't remember name) should do well too. Wyachi vs Wyachi final? :D

As others have said, I'm not sure what Ultraviolent is supposed to do

Chomp is a miserable design with a lot of cool tech. Not a winning formula.

I still wonder why Chomp even won that. It was mostly just flailing around on its side like a fish on the dry. Disco Inferno was keeping good control over the match with that lifter as far as I could see.

I just hope Disco Inferno gets a wildcard. They REALLY deserve it.

The new Warhead design seems to have all the showmanship of razor but without the lethal blow.. I am curious to see if it fairs strongly against spinners.. their has to be more to it then cool looks?

I am so pumped to see Son Of Whyachi back.. Warrior is really cool but I prefer the excessive amounts of brute force,

I don't think they will use the T-Rex head in serious fights.

FYI, new batter boots is on at 8:00 pm EDT tonight in case anyone's not aware already.
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

I guess time will tell, I am curious if the head has another purpose.. Simon and Ian are very crafty. Love their work either way.

According to the Wikia page, the arms also have smaller flame torches in them. I guess they are for when it is running the disc instead of the head. I can't find it now to get the numbers, but its said somewhere that the jaws aren't as powerful as Razer.

Warhead has both the disc and the new head, the head module it's going to be used for robots where the spinner would be ineffective (wedgeforce and stinger).

Also chomp was supposed have some kind of magnets to keep the robot on the floor, but they didn't know how the arena floor was structured (multiple thinner layers and thick coat of grip paint) and the magnets did next to nothing.
