Well I think Panic Attack is better than Chaos2. Now im not gonna lie Chaos2 is a great bot and is the Robot Wars Champion of all time, He has one more series than anyone(excluding world championships,thus it would be Razer) But Panic Attack has a better driver. And besides Chaos2 was never my favorite flipper. I alwayes liked Bigger Brother. Not only is the bot a good bot(almost defated Razer in the Series 5 Final) But the fact that the team is partly driven by kids is pretty cool.
Yes- Kim Davis was definitely one of the best drivers in the series. Although on the contrary, George's driving skills were also very good- that was a winning combination with a great little robot that was still a real contender several years after its first major appearance.

Still think that Tony Somerfield of Bulldog Breed was the best driver.

Ah yes, he was good too. Certainly proved that it wasn't the size of the dog in the fight, it was the size of the fight in the dog.

In fact, there were a great many good drivers in RW- possibly more so than in the American Competitions. Ian Watts, George Francis, Kim Davis, David Gribble, the Rose Family, Tony Summerfield, John Reid, Rob Knight, and Graham Bone are just a few examples I can think of.

What what what??? That match was a complete curb-stomp battle.  I defy you to find me any moment where Bigger Brother was on top.

Gavin wins the argument by being louder.

I totally agree. Robot Wars had way better drivers than the american robotic sports(this is coming from an american)I always liked RW more than BB. The U.K. had more creative designs. I mean Thermidor The awsome crab like bot vs Hazzard the plane old bot we see in every competion.

Oh go the heck away. Both the US and the UK pioneered in our own certen designs and Hazard was the first of his.  If you're going to call a robot generic, make sure it isn't the first of it's kind.

That's because most American builders subscribe to the function over form theory of robot building.

So was Diotior, but at least that had a purpose.

And Robot Wars had been going for five years in the US when the first UK episode was aired.
 
Roadblock - Very effective and - crucially - reliable early design. Did very well, but was a little bit too simplistic.
Panic Attack - An excellent robot with a very good driver. I liked the subsequent versions better than the champion, though.
Chaos 2 - Fantastic when it was champion, but as the series wore on, it got stuck behind.
Razer - Truly magnificent piece of design. Aesthetic, destructive, and almost impossible to beat. Got my vote.
Tornado - Good, sturdy machine that managed to beat many of the established legends. But a touch too simplistic again.
Typhoon 2 - Was extremely lucky to win the Seventh Wars. It could have been eliminated in the first round.
