I can assume that this includes US RW? After all the British series was technically just a continuation of it.

If you aren't going to include this stuff then you should probably call it "100 greatest UK Robot Wars Robots Of All Time."

This has nothing to do with Combat Record, Robots that have made an impact IMO like Sir Chromalot, Plunderbird will also be on this list.

Well if it is just supposed to be robots that made an impact then you have to throw in La Machine, X1, and The Master. First Wedge, first lifter, and first axle/thwack bot.

I don't see why you couldn't just include the influential US competitors...

Also, only 1 bot per team. Sadly, that means no Mace or Bodyhammer.
Also TAN is on the list, but nowhere near that high.

I can think of a good few robots that are going to be screwed over by this rule. Killerhurtz, Recyclopse, Roadblock, Chaos, Robot The Bruce, Groundhog, Big Brother etc and most of those should be in the 100 imo

I say let them in

Edit:
Robodoc, 101, Steg O Saur Us, Steg 2, Napalm, Beserk, Dreadnaut, Big Cheese, Thing...

Edit 2:
King buxton... I could go on

Roadblock? Why would Beast of Bodmin be in the list? It was awful and was not the first UK Robot Wars champion.

Granted Robot the Bruce was in a final, Chaos 2 won a final - twice.

Firestorm reached three Grand Finals; Groundhog did not.

Recyclopse I somewhat agree with, but no, Cassius was the first UK robot to self-right.

Sorry, as much as I like those bots, I find it unfair to allow teams to have 2 bots in there, and it is also kind of confusing, since their names are quite similar. A couple of the names you mentioned are there, so you won't be dissappointed.

Recyclopse was the first robot to flip another robot using a flipper. So what's your point?
Look at the ones I edited in, Anarchy, Robodoc, and 101 were all good robots in their own right. Same with Big Cheese and Wheely Big cheese, and Steg o Saur Us and Steg 2.
