At least in the UK, the competitors go home with something that vaguely resembles a robot, rather than a bin bag full of scrap. Thus they can return for more battles without having to spend a lot of time and money putting their robot back together.

Wonder if we'll see any Britbots competing? I reckon something on the current Live Circuit, like Terrorhurtz or Iron Awe, could do OK, and even with them, we could see newer and more diverse designs take shape over here!

Great news if true, Jimmy Cameron is a true legend: Terminator (my fave film of all time), Aliens, now robots. Apart from Titanic which was a bit damp and Avatar which looks a bit 'funky'. True Legend.

Hopefully there won't be too many shell spinners and we get to see some properly good robots.

Lol, always comes down to both USA and Europe going "OUR BOTS R BETTER!". Both are sweet this argument is bullsh**. Yes, the USA is more about effeciency, destruction, spinner, and pushers. Yes, EU is more about flippers, flipping, and fun. To say that one has more creative bots is dumb because for every Razer, there's a Sewer Snake and vice versa. Be happy. ROBOTS.

Please God it will be aired in the UK.




I feel like Mark Burnett is going to have more control than Cameron just based on their areas of expertise.  Burnett was the guy who brought us The Apprentice and Survivor.  But anyways, as long as Comedy Central is kept 500 feet away at all times then woot!  I've always said that that robot combat could find a second wind on TV if someone was willing to put up a large enough cash injection.

Ten bucks says it will be rigged like that crap that the Science Channel tried to air.

... If it even lasts more than two episodes. Look up Heartland Thunder. It was to be a weekly series about dirt track racing on Discovery. Aired two episodes, didn't get the ratings they expected, and was dropped. They played the remaining episodes that were ready to be aired in the  1 AM timeslot over a span of 4 days. I was pissed.

If it is successful, it would have been better if they picked a name containing less faggotry.

To be fair, Robot Wars Series 7 champion was Typhoon II, which 'won' against a very good Biohazard-esque bot. Series 3 was also almost won by Hypnodisc, and the prior two seasons had somewhat nerfed designs because of the Gauntlet/ Trials and rampant House Robots (which were reined in as seasons went on).

I'm just over the moon right now for more robots. I hope Warhead makes a re-appearance, and I hope I can watch it from the UK.

And my first thought upon hearing the news? "Oh man, we might get a new game to go with the show!!!!"

Those rules came from Mutant Robots's website. They were created in 2008 as a proposal for an experimental class for battlebots 09 the class never formed. ________ found it recently and posted it on his q/a site as truth about the new class. Historically ______ has been biased and incorrect about many things but ______ has a top google search results spot because of his sites age. Battlebots is keeping quiet about it but they are involved and are going to run a 220lb tourney in about 9 months. That's all I know. Thats all anyone knows.

He calls me and my friends "Fanboys" just because we gather info on Robot Wars, and work on the Robot Wars Wiki, and expect a high standard of quality on said pages.  He refuses questions about old robots even though he says he knows the answers.  He's a smart-arse, but can't take nearly as much as he gives; he ovrerreacts to everything instead of just ignoring trolls.  I'd hazard that the Joerger gene pool is just brimming with Aspergers, don't know whose bright idea it was to give them a computer.
The reason why is because you bombarded him with trivial questions about bots that fought once and never where seen again, not to mention the fact you stole an entire work of his with out permission. Ask Aaron is a Q&A for builders, not trivia pursuit.
Title: Re: NEW ROBOT COMBAT SHOW COMING TO DISCOVERY CHANNEL
Post by: Resetti's Replicas on May 10, 2012, 12:09:58 AM
That may be, but his initial reaction was so hostile that I assumed he just wanted to blow off steam.  Long story short we did eff up, but we eventually made it right, and he still calls the practice of wiki-making a "fanboy" thing; I really have no idea where we stand.  We stopped asking trivia questions when he said he wasn't fielding them anymore, you can see that all of the recent ones are questions that could be answered by a page on the wiki. 


More to the point,  my problems weren't about anything he said to me directly, but about the way he gives snarky responses, and then gets gobsmacked when he receives them (which he could just choose to delete from the inbox).


ANYways, that's enough digressing, I apologize for the tangent.  To make it up, here's something I found when I searched "cameron robot" http://www.discoverychannel.ca/Article.aspx?aid=34910 (http://www.discoverychannel.ca/Article.aspx?aid=34910)  It looks like there won't be a combat element after all but the robotics stuff is pretty cool.

Honestly, that was just the backlash of me having a bad day.  Nothing is wrong with having Aspergers, I was just basing my "observation" on what "Parent Hood" and "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" portray Aspergers as.  But I'm not a doctor, so I've got no right to make such observations.  If you need to dime me out to Ask Aaron then so be it.  I was wrong to say it and I'm sorry if I offended anyone.

It's not just RWW, it's Battlebots and Robotica wiki's too.  Something about having detailed information on lesser known competitors rubs them the wrong way.  Like I said, if he wants people to stop asking him questions on one-off competitiors, he should stop reacting to people who do.

Hm. So let me guess...if he ever becomes a supervillain, would the Robot Combat wikis and the lesser-known robots be his first targets?  :rolleyes:

That may be, but his initial reaction was so hostile that I assumed he just wanted to blow off steam.  Long story short we did eff up, but we eventually made it right, and he still calls the practice of wiki-making a "fanboy" thing; I really have no idea where we stand.  We stopped asking trivia questions when he said he wasn't fielding them anymore, you can see that all of the recent ones are questions that could be answered by a page on the wiki. 


More to the point,  my problems weren't about anything he said to me directly, but about the way he gives snarky responses, and then gets gobsmacked when he receives them (which he could just choose to delete from the inbox).


ANYways, that's enough digressing, I apologize for the tangent.  To make it up, here's something I found when I searched "cameron robot" http://www.discoverychannel.ca/Article.aspx?aid=34910 (http://www.discoverychannel.ca/Article.aspx?aid=34910)  It looks like there won't be a combat element after all but the robotics stuff is pretty cool.

Do you have what he exactly said in context?

Here's the best part.  His hobby is maintaining the Wikipedia page "List of Celebrities on the Hollywood Walk of Fame."  Not researching mind you, just reverting edits when someone adds a false star, or adds a star that has been announced but not yet installed.  But oh no, we're the ones with the frivolous obsession.

I learn something new every day- it does indeed seem quite ridiculous and hypocritical to me, and this is coming from the British Idiot with the Cassius II obsession! Mind you though, if there's anyone whom I think needs a star on there, it's Cookie Monster.

His username on Wikipedia is Joerger and his signature is "Run Amok."  The only other page he edits is the Robot Wars page on Wikipedia.  I think it's a fair assumption.

Yes, but the question was "Should I build it but I'm not going to build it..."

That site is not a 100% credible source. It's very opinionated and biased and has been wrong in the past. Discovery said the event is going to happen, and yes someone from battlebots is directly involved in this.

Wait, when was it biased?

Aaron Jorger, Head of the department of knowing all there is to know, enters competition with a lawnmower covered in aluminum. Becomes god.
run amok/

Exactly my point. Run amok wasn't a combat robot, it was an RC car.

Very amusing thread - if you're 12 years old and severely socially impaired. May I remind you:


You agree, through your use of this forum, that you will not post any material which is false, defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, adult material, or otherwise in violation of any International or United States Federal law.


I'd say the thread has violated at least half a dozen of those restrictions.

FYI - I have no problem with Wikis as long as they don't steal from me. Ask Sonny to tell you the details about how the Robot Wars Wiki screwed up and how many YEARS it took them to 'make it right'.

Well well well, seems there's a brooding flame war here.

To be honest I don't care much about this board, and I was just called here by SKBT to restore order, but it is my job to apply the law, and the law says no flame wars outside of playground.

Seems there's some circlejerking over here, and some of you people (no need to say names) found a scapegoat to whack. Supposedly because he is a smartass know-it-all and because he has bruised your sensibilities.

aka "Hey, this guy is a jerk and a know it all ! Let's act even more like jerks towards him ! It'll TOTALLY solve the problem !"


You agree, through your use of this forum, that you will not post any material which is false, defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, adult material, or otherwise in violation of any International or United States Federal law.


These are the laws for each and every SMF forum. We have developed a slightly different system here, so this text is not entirely taken for law.

Besides, you somehow seem to be indirectly implying that most people in this thread are 12-year-old social freaks. How is that not an insult, and how is that not in direct contradiction with the rules you just brandished ?

Now as all of you probably know, I will mute if necessary, so some of you better start be reasonable rather than just pouring hatred on your chosen scapegoat, a.k.a. Run Amok's builder which is here.
