Well I just binge watched the first 3 episodes to catch up.

The presentation and editing is 100% better this series than the last one.. so well done to the hosts and production as a whole.

The arena needs some work though.. panels falling off walls, robots getting stuck under the flipper and the pit lid cannot handle the weight of the robots on top of it.. it gets a little frustrating as a viewer, hopefully they are kinks that can be worked out.

Poor Supernova, so, so much potential but it never quite comes together. I love it when spinners are so quick the TV camera's pick up the whine quite loudly.

A lot off fun early on but a lot left limping at the end.. is the 2 hour window too short? or do teams just not prepare enough for total rebuild situations?

Series is humming along nicely, cant wait for the next episode :)

the rules seem a bit inconsitend to me. Pulsar vs Ironside 3 in the head to head looked like a simmilar situation ass PP3D vs Cherub. But this time both bots got 2 points. I can see why they did that but it doesn't seem right. In this case they could have given 2 points to Behemoth and Cherub in the fight with the Arenaflipper incident too
