Really enjoyed that episode

Who needs top gear when you've got fighting robots

Can't remember the details but in the old series someone did disable Sir Killalot.

[M.C]

Really glad Gabriel didn't go through, that was the most annoying robot ever Found it strange they determined beast was disabled when they still had one wheel drive, that's happened in a lot of fights so far (robots left with partial drive).

Anyway Grand Final next

[Rogerborg]

I thought it was a pretty clever design since most successful bots are either flippers or deal damage low down. It took some big hits and kept on wobbling: fair play to them for trying something different.

There was one like that before in the old series.

They just never get enough force behind the blows, to inflict any serious damage.

Doing time?
Building a robot?
Invading Poland?
Space?*

This bullshit xfactor style sob story about the teams is pissing me off.

[supZ]

dara's complete lack of enthusiasm is getting on my wick.

that and the blatant time wasting like going over the rules, the league setup, replays of old fights.. over 10mins into robot wars and there had not been a single war of robots!

I've been avoiding spoilers until I caught up, and won't make any just yet. Just to say: that final was pretty ace. Like a Rocky bout where both boxers are absolutely wrecked by the end of it, but just keep going. Some decent driving from the winner, and great driving from the 3rd place too - I think it's a shame they missed the final two on points because of the way the bouts played out and another robot got crippled early doors. Still, all's fair, etc.

Arena wrecked, many bin bags needed, would sperg-nerd out to again.

Final was pretty crap tbh,
Better battles in earlier rounds,

Re Gabriel, its about being different, not a flipper or spinner, so you have to applaud they for being different and not just thinking lets copy everyone else.
