i dont really care who it is as long as they're good. honestly the host doesn't matter much, its the commentator that does all the work. JP has had a great track record unlike those goofballs they got for battlebots

^Agreed.^

Bloody Irish. Invading our

Seriously though that sounds like a very good lineup. I've not seen much stuff Angela Scanlon has done but she certainly has the right personality for Robot Wars. I think people might be holding the fact she normally does fashion/music stuff against her too much.

Really looking forward to this now.

Brilliant that they've got JP back, like Reier said, he's the guy who made matches that much better, so I don't mind Crog Charley isn't here. Dara is great pick, don't know who Angela is and I wish they could have just picked Dara instead of having co-hosts but, whatever, as long as they work well off each other, these are pretty good picks.

if I had to go with 2nd place for best commentator I'd actually nominate ahmet zappa and dan danknick on robotica. Dan actually knew what he was talking about saying stuff like "Hey you see that drive chain that slipped off of that bot? that means they're screwed" and then ahmet would just freak out like he does and get everyone pumped about DRIVE CHAINS FALLING OFF WOOHOO

guys on the original BB were ok but kinda dopey. new BB guys might as well be watching hey arnold or something

I don't care much about Pepperer Forestry either.

Last thing I can find of note that Angela did was some work for The Voice in the UK. I think she'll fit into the show just fine.

And judging from twitter they oversold, and dozens if not hundreds of people are in a tent watching on a small screen.

I'll be tuning in for certain, robot wars was my freakin childhood.

Don't know what to think about the new arena. First
impression isn't that positive

Somebody · « **Reply #133 on:** March 01, 2016, 01:58:54 PM »

It's much bigger than it looks initially, I saw a picture or two with robots in it. A little boring looking but I'm sure I'll survive.

Because I put them on there :P

Arena is deceptively large. Don't worry.

Thyrus · « **Reply #136 on:** March 01, 2016, 04:15:03 PM »

Is that a bot entered in the series? If so, I'll cheer you on, 'til the end!

We filmed the pilot which won't be shown on TV. Many pictures will be uploaded to my personal Facebook when the event has aired.
