I was surprised when someone told me there was a show similar to Robot Wars in South Korea. Initially I expected those weird Humanoid fetish robots doing karate or some shenanigans like that, but looking up on YT and navigating through the pornography; I found it.

Robot Power. This show had a surprising range of robots that fought (around 20+) And even have some weird house robot. They do a Trial (kind of based around Stock Car from series 1) As round 1, Then 2 Fights in round 2. Every now and then they throw in those wierd Fetish bots for whatevers. But it seems pretty cool. The arena is like a mix of Battlebots and Robot Wars
-
lol this is awesome.
-
SKBT would love this show.
Edit: Just saw the House Robot, loving how it would get absolutely raped by most things on Robot Wars.
-
So many wedges, SKBT will fall in love
Edit: kurt I never knew you learned ninjitsu
-
Lol Yeah. The Field is legit like 95% Wedges and Last Rites wannabes. Theres 1 sawbot I think
-
I like how of the 5 robots shown, 3 of them are that weird black hollow wedge with teeth. XD
This is a really cool show, great find!
-
I like how there seems to be no restrictions on weight! Odd. Strange that a Korean team never took part in the us or UK.

Thanks!
Apparently it ran on a popular South Korean channel in the mornings (The guy who showed me lived in South Korea). It went 2 Seasons long from 2008-2009. Around this time we were hype for Battlebots coming back, When a new robot combat show was here the whole time :gawe:
EDIT: RFS, you should legit write a review on this show. I love your writings (like the one on Killer Robots) So it'd probably be halarious
-
I won't lie, I thought about it just now. I don't know any of the robot names though XD
-
Good to see Kim Jong Un enjoys robot combat.
Seriously. Episode 1, Part 2. 11:05, check it.
-
Very good find. Might watch more of it soon.
-
Out of the four that did Junior Robot which one is Data from The Goonies?
-
Neat. I wonder if there's anymore international robot combat shows we don't know about.
-

-
Pretty sweet, not gonna lie.
the underweight pentagon is Superman. That's what its called and the Superman logo is scratched into the back
I heard the white spinner in episode 2's name as tupac but i'm pretty sure thats not what it is
-
There's a really unique Last Rites-esque spinner in this video at around 4:20 -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cxbw51qrONE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cxbw51qrONE)
Has some oddly cambered wheels and scoots around. It doesn't WIN, but it's neat looking.
-
Fairly certain the red bar spinner in episode 2 is named Carnage

CONFIRMED: Badnik is Korean.

All the more hilarious it is that most of the British and American robots from the 2000's would maul these bots

Eh, They were pretty good for a country that was new to robot combat at the time. They would beat the Safety Hazards Robots India 1st made

There's one or two decent designs, particularly here with the Little Drummer Boy clone.

It's a shame we don't see that many (if any) eastern robots competing in western events.
-
Fairly certain the red bar spinner in episode 2 is named Carnage
And the white boxy spinner is named Tupac
-
Correct me if I'm wrong but the information on the website seems to say 75kg weight limit on competitor robots.... What weight class would that be? Middlishbutalittlebitheavybutnotbymuchweight class?
Every other country who has any knowledge of robot combat in that fashion seems to take into account the same standards as the rest of the world. The Dutch, the Germans, the Australian, the Italians and the Caribbean all take the national weight classes into account, it does seem odd that the Koreans are trying to be so different.
If your wondering how I know about the Caribbean's, I've got family in Trinidad. Mind they did get Robot Wars Extreme Warriors on TV!
-
THAT'S CRUISERWEIGHT IRL OMFG THAT'S THE BEST THING EVER
-
My apologies if my post sounds somewhat negative, it's more inconclusive if anything. Just wondering how genuinely though out this is or if the Korean's have done another cheap copy of something European, like their clothes industry.

I can't figure out how the knockout tournament works. The hexagon robot finished last in Stock Car but didn't get eliminated. Also, REX2 is painted red later in the episode for some reason.

Sssshhh, just relax and listen to the wacky sound effects.

I watched it muted, expecting the childish irritating sounds. :gawe:
Sounds like it was a good decision!

Its this.
Fastest bot auto goes to fight finals
2nd fastest takes on slowest
3rd takes on 4th.
Winner of those go to fight eachother
winer of that takes on fastest bot
-
And the winner of that match takes on the winner from the previous episode

Of course it's that complicated. Of course.

2:23 you can see tazbot in the upper left corner, strange
Also the wedged spinner looks awesome.
-

Easterners tend to look past weight being an issue. Thinking that the speed and agility a lighter bot brings to the table is enough to trump something larger and more powerful, easterners see agility and speed as the key to victory, idk why but it's the same for Japanese and even Chinese. Not necessarily on robot combat alone. But in other sports as well. (Chinese boxing/Kung fu, I remembered Japan's PRIDE had at some point just allowed any weight to fight each other and there's a video of a 154lb guy taking on a 300 pound sumo wrestler).
Also, how many of these bots do you guys think actually weigh 65+?
-
I like the one guy who built like 3 identical horizontal spinners and none of them do well, but you can tell he's having a good time.

Those are three different people.
Racist. :dumb)

Also there's a 2010 season and a 2011 season in addition to this first one
Most robots seem to be around 30 kg according to the final match profiles instead of the 75kg max. Perhaps they meant 75 pounds? Still an odd weight limit.

Fairly certain the red bar spinner in episode 2 is named Carnage
And the white boxy spinner is named Tupac
Tupac lives?
-
There's so much stuff on the screen... and all the roboteers have to wear shiny motocross pads...
Plus there's more sound effects than a 5 year old with adhd using a soundboard.
It's a pretty cool find. And it's fairly recent, which is a little hopeful.

Does this series remind anyone of RWS1 or 2?

4:08, love to see it vs Rip. What is it called?
