NokiX Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 BBC iPlayer - Robot Wars - Meet the House Robots Looking good, can't wait for the first episode. 1
Jawloms Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 So who watched it? I thought it was pretty good. We didn't see enough from the house robots is about my only criticism.
sted Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 i watched it pretty good. Diddnt razor do about as well as always lol. My main issue was the canned laughter (or what sounded like it) that just seemed naff
sted Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 I loved it. Where was sargent bash? i assume gone. I wonder if they are the old robots dragged from a cupboard or new ones built from blueprints. If the former i wonder if he diddnt survive somehow
Achandler Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 The house robots were 3 times the size now, so rebuilds. Personally I thought it was rather naff, 3 minute fights but they only showed the "highlights" of some of them because they weren't the full 3 minutes. The arena looked too clean and "designed" as oppose to the odl one that looked quite menacing, the house robots were pathtic in my opinion they did nothing really, I'm a little disapointed that the house robots are 300KG each (except Killalot who weighed way more of course), for no real reason. There can't be anymore of the competitors flipping Matilda over for fun etc which always added to the entertainment or when Razor destroyed her.

elsiegee40 Posted July 25, 2016 Author Posted July 25, 2016 Enjoyed in this house too. So who watched it? I thought it was pretty good. We didn't see enough from the house robots is about my only criticism. Agreed. I missed Craig Charles mad enthusiasm too. There can't be any more of the competitors flipping Matilda over for fun etc which always added to the entertainment or when Razor destroyed her. Yes that was always entertaining:D I think it'll turn out alright in the end though
Zoom7000 Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 I enjoyed it. I was so disappointed to see Razor go out so early though! As was most of Twitter it seems! I wonder if HypnoDisc and Chaos 2 are coming back. HypnoDisc vs Carbide would be very interesting indeed!
elsiegee40 Posted July 25, 2016 Author Posted July 25, 2016 I wonder if HypnoDisc and Chaos 2 are coming back. HypnoDisc vs Carbide would be very interesting indeed! I agree. I'm looking forward to see which teams from the past turn up next week:)
JJonas Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 (edited) I agree. I'm looking forward to see which teams from the past turn up next week:) see Robot Wars (2016 series) - Robot Wars Wiki - Wikia #Spoilers Edited July 26, 2016 by elsiegee40 1
