Make way for the GOAT

More so than olympic diving. Post some bots.

...

That is sexy.

>most robots are relatively cheap pieces of shit cobbled together by part time enthusiasts
>Mortis literally cost £40,000 to make
>assembled by a whole crew of experts
>never won anything

LOL

GOAT

What about big robots fighting?

youtube.com/watch?v=XVJTGLL2SnI

youtube.com/watch?v=7u8mheM2Hrg

Morris was a fucking box with a knife attached to it

Did these two ever fight? Will they ever? Who would win?

*mortis

>"B-but muh aerospace grade chassis!"

youtube.com/watch?v=cEIGIiBb5LA

sup fag

I honestly really liked Mortis because the nerds who made it were a lot more likeable than most. They didn't try to be cool, they knew they were tech geeks and they owned it. But yeah, you'd expect better performances for the most high tech robot in the field.

DELET THIS

Did they plan this out or what?

>see thread
i just remembered its already july

did suidobashi/megabots ever deliver(or any update)?

Yes, it should have been last month, but USA's robot had some problems so it got pushed to later this year. They haven't announced when exactly, but probably in September.

Depends if Razer gets its flywheel I suppose.

Later this year when Megabots get their shit together.

ic, thx croatbro

>Post yfw the reboot of Robot Wars is presented by Ant and Dec and has Helen Flanagan shoehorned in too.

It's already confirmed as Dara O'Brien. Not a bad choice desu considering Craig won't come back

#sqaudgoals

I hated that scaffolding. Shouldn't have been allowed desu.

It really shouldn't. It was literally to big for the pit.

When is this shit returning?

They said it would return.

Naa fuk u it'll get wrecked by shithead to execs coming in and changing the whole premise.

Can't wait for Robot Wars Xtra and sob stories about some dumbass kid coming to compete with their grandparents and getting through for the ratings.

Mark my words, this will be absolutely fucked before it's launched

I think Dara is a poor choice of host. I like him, but he's very standoffish and snarky. He's going to treat the while thing like a joke, which it obviously is, but Charles' sincerity and enthusiasm made the fights feel significant.

Charles is a coke addict who got kicked out the BBC

Possible, but he also has a lot of nerd cred, I can see him getting quite into it

ROBOTEERS, STAND BY

>Shunt got swole

I'm well aware of that, Professor Wikipedia. I didn't suggest bringing him back.

He'll be more Stargazing Live "I fucking love Science! XD" Dara than Mock the Week Dara.

Angela Scanlon is the pit girl, whoever she is.

She a cute. A CUTE!

Shunt's hunchback is the only thing I don't like about the new house robots. That and the lack of Sgt Bash, even if he was always the shittest one.

Same, I'd rather have Sgt. Bash than the forgettable Dead Metal.

Besides, who is going to set Diotor on fire now?

...

Sure, it's got enough violence to qualify,
and it will someday evolve to require more technical know-how than F1.

>tfw World UltraHeavyweight Gundam championship bout on PPV

Bring this fucking ladies man back and you've got yourself a show

He must have fully transitioned by now. Probably builds sex robots in her spare time.

Is an robot an athlete

I never understood that...individual, was it a man becoming a woman or a woman becoming a man? Or was it just an extremely effeminate man?

I like Hebocon better.

What the honest fuck.

>@MrPeterAndre Hey Pete, will you be my mysterious girl?

>nice to see some female fans on twitter, any chance you could pass on my twitter to some friends?


So...it's male?

George was most definitely a man, and he did very well for himself. The Robot Wars gang was a bit like the Olympic Village, if you know what I mean.

Source? Elaborate? Also, wasn't almost every team just a bunch of nerdy guys or families with kids?

>The uploader has not made this video available in your country.
Anyone got a mirror?

Holy shit that trailer has me hype. What robots can we make out, lads? I see Behemoth confirmed, and something that looks like maybe Tornado?

...

I wouldn't read too much into that, it's combat footage from the last wars.

Is it? But it looked so fresh, and I'm pretty sure Shunt was the new model?

Sorry I'm chatting complete shit, that's a newer trailer than what I thought it was. New arena and everything.

Didn't you know? Episode winners got a blowjob in the back from Phillipa or Julia

>it's a 'hypnodisc destroys a homemade family bot in 5 seconds' episode

Defo Behemoth
Looked like Tornado to me too.

>build a robot
>it's main gimmick is flipping over other robots

>Tornado

I hope the boring, cheating bastards get absolutely smashed.

Them winning Extreme and all that was the beginning of the end

Watch it lad

>dead metal
>forgettable

Fuck you, he's built like a cyborg scorpion.

>A German labelling ruthless efficiency as boring

youtube.com/watch?v=w04BgclPmY8

Spin to win all day every day.

with no flipper forrester it's not worth watching

Someone reupload the video for me so I can watch it. Thanks.

Truly the Arsenal of robots - incredible against minnows, struggles against true competition, ends up coming 3/4th every time.

Make way for the GOAT Battlebot

Surely that 'device' just leaves the robot hanging immobile over the pit? Doesn't seem like that'd help them.

>Battlebots

zzz

Literally the one time the Yanks have made something less overblown than us.

Robot Wars
>hosted by based Craig Charles for a solid hour, no breaks
>top British boffins for judges
>mental arena, flames, the pit, the flipper, dropped washing machines on robots, has a digger arm in the early series
>the fucking house robots holy shit

Battlebots
>hosted by ESPN castoffs with names like Randy Schweinberg the third
>20 minute show squeezed out over 30 minutes
>arena has some... chains? spikes? wow
>commercial break every time they even show a hint of action
>constant replays of the little action they show
>shitty analysis

Can't believe they were allowed to get away with that. The Pit is part of the game, if your robot won't fit in it then you shouldn't be allowed to compete.

>wheely big cheese
there was nothing "wheely" about it you cunts

I loved both as a kid though

MAKE WAY FOR THE BEST ROBOT

It had massive red wheels you autist

>tfw some 15-year-old YouTuber with a drone wins the whole thing

>Chaos II

zzzzzz

95% of the robots had wheels! the wheely pun made no fucking sense.

They added it for that round specifically to keep razer's pincer at arms length.

Didn't fucking help them though, they just got lifted up instead.

Some battles ended after just 5 seconds, including ones where both bots were good. Not really looking forward to seeing that again desu.

Hypnodisc and Razer were GOAT because they actually delivered the carnage that was promised. I enjoy the more tactical battles as well, but there's something so satisfying about watching Hypnodisc take solid chunks out of the opposition.

>that one autist who turned up every year with a walking robot

Everybody forgets Pussycat, it was always unlucky. Shit draws or the blade shattered.

Shame they won't be back, the main bloke died in a motorbike accident or something.

Stinger was my favourite. Literally a giant mace on huge wheels. Nearly impossible to control. What's not to like?

What was that really detailed robot that was so heavy they couldn't even get it to start up?

>shit tier chaos 2

M8 they fucking pioneered the flipper and were the first to throw robots clean out of the arena.

They were also boring and driven by the world's most androgynous man(?)

>ywn watch Hypnodisc's debut fight for the first time again, not knowing what to expect before witnessing destruction the likes of which has not yet been seen on Robot Wars

Nasty.

I always remember in the Extreme series, there was a kid in the 4kg "Lightweight" event that basically looked like a Frosties box on wheels. He beat his opponent, only for Sir Killalot to literally run it over and flatten this poor boy's year of hard work.

>that time Razer absolutely rekt Matilda

youtube.com/watch?v=-xEvV-BpXmQ

>M8 they fucking pioneered the flipper

Nah that was Cassius, is funny looking back how much of a huge deal it was that it could self-right, the creator was seen as a full on genius for it. Shame he stopped competing because he disagreed with the safety standards on the show, he was great.

youtu.be/a_90pFkFJ8c?t=41

Am I the only person who watched the series after the one where razor lost to that tornado pit cheater?

It was the one where typhoon won, which was hypnodisc on steroids. Also there was a flipper robot called gravity, which was insanely powerful

Friendly reminder that series 7 was total bullshit from top to bottom, no wonder the show died.

Anyone play the robot wars game on Gameboy Colour?
