Camemberta won the third prize at BB9.
Also apparently she was real lucky.

Finally ended up watching this.  Love it just as much as I did when I was young.  A few comments overall:

-Multibots officially suck.  I don't care what philosophy you're trying to push, they are ineffective against a machine 2 or more times its size.

-Vertigo (Michael Oates) looks like Logic.

-Format is fixed appropriately I think.

-John Reid is slowly going senile.

-They need to take a longer break if they're going to make another series in order to get more competitors.  I don't want to see the same gang of bots in the final every time.

-I really do hope they keep making theses.

There are enought teams that want to enter. So it's the shows fault to have such a small field of competitors

yeah there isnt a lack of teams that want to take part, there is however a lack of space on the show. if the bbc wants to be generous and provide funding for a larger season, then we can have some real fun.

I know this might be an irrelevant point as I'm no roboteer, but I think with some of the spinners out there at the moment I really wouldn't want to spend a lot of time and money on something that could easily end up in several bin bags

True, miss person I only saw the name of in December. But when has it happened so often that it could be a "sometimes"?  :really_makes_you_think:

Who were you before?

And wasn't Mazakari called Mazakari before as well? Seems odd to change it back.
