I'm sure if you asked around on Reddit, someone would help you out.

Even their full lists are incomplete and inaccurate.

They haven't said anything and I don't think they will, you'll have to wait probpley for the whole show to be on TV :V

Is it weird that we've got an extra fight in the first episode with the two hosts fighting but not a fight of the two winners in the secon episode?


Most of those names... they sound like they've played RA2 for the first time..
The Cat, Kadeena Machina, Robo Savage, Arena Cleaner...
Also what's up with all the bots exept freaking Dee using all the same wheels? has there been some kind of restrictment? All bots had to be 2 WD with the same wheels and the same motors?

In episode 2 there was... dabbing... the hell?

I'm looking forward to RFS' Update on this as it pretty much writes it self

Appart from those rants I'm glad Ellis finally made a reliable spinning robot :P Good work on that machine. I don't think we will ever see them again

There might have been, just to save everyone time, money, and effort. I noticed they were all using T64s and had exposed wheels (though I think the second one is more for spectacle).

Maybe not, but perhaps that means he's also got the kinks in Pulsar worked out? I hope so. It'd be good to see what it's capable of when it's not stopping every five seconds.

Probably had something to do with the average episode 1 match ending after about 20 seconds....

They also were expecting it to be a dvd extra, not included in the Show, according to someone on Facebook who was there at the filmings.

There was an interview that took place which I was in the background for that didn't make it into the first special. I presume that's why we got all the godawful Overdozer/Terrorhurtz filler bits in its place.

Those serve a decent purpose tho: They introduce first time viewers into what RW is like when it isn't a celebrity special. IIRC we saw less of em in episode 2 because of the higher quality of the matches.
