Oh hai Shunt and Behemoth, all the excitement. Still got my remote controll Shunt in my attic back home, great for terrorising cats...

Hey Craig, did you hang around for any of the actual filming?

cephalopod · « **Reply #183 on:** March 31, 2016, 05:03:45 PM »

Unfortunately not, we'd have had to pay for the hotels. Heard good things though, some awesome matches coming up.

Arena looks cool. Vlog made it look like it was a Roaming Robots show so to see it look fancy if not a spectacle like the old show is good

I was at both sessions on Day One so it was mostly Round One matches I saw.

I saw 24 competitors and chatted with a few of the teams that weren't in the current Heat, so that was fun.

While we're asking, do we know all the competitors in the event? Someone posted a list on Reddit (which I've put in spoiler tags at the bottom of my post) which has about 35 of the 40. Does anyone know of any competitors that the list hasn't gotten yet? (No match results though - that I'm avoiding spoilers for.)

Here's the list (warning: spoilers)

Damn, there's actually robots in that list I don't recognize.

Quite a few have been given name changes. I won't give any examples because I'm unsure about the spoiler policy here, but you could probably look up names online.

Yes.

Would it be a big deal if I grouped together the Round One competitors in the fights I saw?

That'd be relative spoilers in my opinion, I'd leave it for now. But those extras reminds me there is 1 bot that got renamed from its original incarnation.

Yeah, largely unchanged from what I heard aside from the paint

The new arena reminds me of the first wars.

Most notably, no pit.

Thyrus · « **Reply #198 on:** April 03, 2016, 07:53:14 AM »

Pretty sure there is one

RTC · « **Reply #199 on:** April 03, 2016, 08:51:47 AM »

Yeah, there's definitely a pit; although it's now wider and not as deep as it used to be. There was a photo of the judges in it.
