Post more classic Robot Wars battles lads

Gotta say, as someone who went to see it being recorded I didn't have very high hops for Carbide. I saw it get pitted by Terrorhurtz and thought that it was all for show and wouldn't actually do that well. Fuck me was I wrong, completely missed out on the best battles of the night. Give me high hopes for the next 2 episodes (both of which I also saw fights for)

So is Carbide the Robot Wars version of Gyro Zeppili?

fuck. i knew i forgot something.

pick your favourites
StormII or Pulsar to win imo
>tfw Razer is dead alredy

I've met George and I'm still not sure if it's a he or she.

Pretty sure he's a man but it's impossible to tell

>not having a feather duster on your robot

My family would argue about this every time he was on.

>Matilda having her arse penetrated
Lewd

who is your robofu?

My friends...and Thermidor.

Watching this in the background to keep the viewing figures up

How do the BBC track that anyway? Is it like Nielsen where they have select groups who tell them what they watch and they extrapolate it to the whole population?

Would you fug matilda?

sausage roll anyone?

Don't have a favourite, but

Yes. Though I suppose they know exactly how many people are watching on player.

why can't women just accept that robot wars is for kids and autistic men

Didn't this bot have a love-hate relationship with fire?

Darcie probably thought Razer would have a long run in the show to give her some good exposure for that modelling career.

BTFO I say.

>dara shit
>fights shit
>format shit
>camerawork shit
>sound shit
>editing shit
>arena shit
>robots shit

the final battle being decided by one bot sitting stationary then slowly reversing into a pit summed up the whole episode.

I loved RobotWars as a kid, and old RobotWars is still good but BattleBots shits all over this new version.

>PP3D has ex-Typhoon 2 member
>In same heat as Storm II
I hope they meet

>It's a Diotoir gets set alight episode

Cheers for the (You)

Why can't you just accept that kids and autistic men need someone there to give them sausage rolls

I think it's been years since I watched a tv show on an actual tv

>"You though your opponent would be a successful robot, but it was me DIOTOR!"

Why do I get the feeling that the BBC were pushing HARD for more wimminz on this show?

>Each of Gabriel’s wheels is the size of a washing machine

That's gonna be fucking torn apart.

Probably the BBC insisting that there needs to be women.
It's pretty funny seeing all the video packages and backstage things with the women in, and they're never doing anything with the robot

there is one that as team role has tea maker

Got excite a few times in the fights.

Reminder that Diotoir once beat Tornado

WRRRRRYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!

looks like in every group they put some meme bot to get rekt

If you had a robot, what would you name it, lads?

>Royal Guard
Id paint a union jack on the front of it

Big Guy UUUU

>no Plunderbird

DROPPED

Edgehog

It'd be an extremely thin robot with ramps going around it's perimeter. It's prime objective would be to drive under other robots and then hit them from underneath with pneumatic spikes.

I'd cover it in anime girl stickers and give it the female Japanese name meme then REEEE when the host calls it "meem".

>6mph
>wheelchair motors
>lead acid batteries
>that weapon

Robotwars is fucking dead, it will be cancelled and the BBC will just buy the rights to show BattleBots next year

Too bad there was already an Edgehog

>KnobJockey
It's shaped like a large phallus, and shoots a big white spike out of the front at 250mph

wont happen again

Is there a rule preventing covering your bot in overcharged Li ion batteries?

they have some awful meme bots on battlebots too, they are just there to get rekt by the fan favourites

That and this one are the absolute worst.

I don't think you're allowed explosive or projectile weapons because of muh health and safety and the BBC's hatred of fun. Memes aside, LiPo batteries are fucking dangerous and wouldn't be allowed out in the open with no protective circuitry to prevent them exploding

my aircraft
it would have a gun and a flipper so i could shoot the opponent's robot before throwing them out of the arena sidewall

Does anyone think Razor was put in the competiton to deliberately get destroyed? He hadn't been upgraded since the original series and I think the BBC wanted him to get torn apart by Carbide or something to show how much the robots have advanced.

You could honestly get more mileage out of a bot that's only weapon is a tuna nailed to a CO2 driven arm.

literally the female contribution to a team.. smdh

Gabriel's actually pretty brutal for an axel bot. Check its live event fights on YT

What's the most meme-iest yet still feasible robot idea you can come up with?

What about magnets?

seems that way
same with behemoth
they're relics of a bygone era
>this isn't your grandad's robot wars!

The mother contributed sausage rolls, the daughter being a qt3.14.

>Not enjoying the shite robots that come on

how do they work?

>£25,000 on a pushbot

RRRRRREEEEEEEE

This one get's it's wheels fucked off by Mr Speed Squared.

carnage

Not sure. You'd need a pretty fucking big magnet to actually do anything to a 100Kg robot, and I doubt anyone would be able to build a robot with a big ass electromagnet in it, because powerful magnets fuck up digital circuitry pretty hard

>Behemoth: "I'm to old for this crap!" *commits seppitku*

DELETE THIS

The same team put an unmodified Warhead into the Battlebots reboot last year after a similar hiatus and got BTFO, then upgraded/modded it this year. I think the team just wanted to participate again, although i'm not sure how they would make Razer effective again if there is a second series.

Ed Hoppitt is abit shit when it comes to engineering. When Storm 2 was in Extreme 2 and Series 7, he wasnt making as many desicions in terms of internals, motors etc. Ed has more money than sense.

Make shell out of steel then cover it in small neodymium magnets designed to break off and jam moving parts while making sparks.

hey guys I missed it, where can I watch the first episode?

when's he coming back lads

God the behemoth battle was a shitshow

Shit razor.

most likely; and the other robot said they were the ones that moved over to the pit so Razer could have lifted its weapon up to avoid the fall.

they have three weapons, they must cost something

You're not allowed to have parts that purposely brake off to jam up or entangle the opponent.

>real-time telemetry system
you're standing in a booth overlooking the fight. be smart and react to what you're seeing.

*unsheahts clusterbots*
*tips fedora*
*spins around doing nothing*
*explodes*

THICC

>chucks Terrohortz anyway
>goes further than Razer
fuck those guys

I'd facialise the mum desu

What stops a robot from simply electrocuting their opponents?

who is hopeful for a milly ann bug return?

Well at least we got a new waifu out of it lads.
