      Most chaotic tournament melees (excluding Annihilator competitions)? The opening heat melees and the loser's melees of days past were generally fun to watch from both a damaging and a tactical perspective.

      I would like to see an arena where the poor sporting "House" bots don't exist. I would NEVER enter a comp where the house gets to shit on you at will with bots that outweigh, out power, and have poor sporting controllers behind them. It would be like if you were in a car race not doing to well and the track feels it can just send out a couple of monster trucks and destroy your car. It's not a competition if a third party, with NO vested interest in the outcome, can come in and alter the out come. POOOOR SPORTSMANSHIP. Somewhere in your show there is an as whole with malice running in his, or her veins.

    My word, the difference between Robot Wars and Battlebots is quite stark. Battlebots seems to be more of a competition, with some room for mercy for a fellow bot, but Robot Wars is akin to the Roman Gladiatorial arena - pure metallic and circuitry based sadism!

      I started watching Robot Wars many years back. Then Battlebots came on, and the difference was night and day. BB has better showmanship, more varied designs, heavier weight allowances making real armor a thing. Damage inflicted is often better. Just more interesting to my jaded 65 year old American eyes. Just my opinion.
      But I am glad to see this episode of RW has better damage being done, but there is still a distinct lack of armor and real technology.

    You have to appreciate the Bigger Brother story. The fact they got absolutely trashed by Hypno Disc and still managed to win, but also the amount of people backstage who ran around to help rebuild them so they could be ready for the Grand Final against Razer was lovely to see.
    The only downside is we never got to see the fight everyone really wanted - Razer vs Hypno Disc

      Razor would of thrashed Hynodisc. Razor was a highly durable, high budget robot. Predict Hypno would of ripped off those side wings, Razor would have stopped the disc spinning, and put into the CPZ, then not give it a chance to spin up again. In the second half of the round when the disc stops, hypno really struggles. Razor Vs Typhoon 2 and Razor Vs Storm 2 would be more interesting.

      It might be great, but it's also overrated - it really wasn't much of a actual "fight", it was Bigger Brother being owned by Hypno until they pitted them. Bigger Brother had no business winning that fight, and Hypno probably would've won the series if that didn't happen.

Driving, weight, strategy, preparation for and dealing with house mechanisms is all part of the battle and every team knows it, and has every opportunity to utilize them. Bigger brother was literally dismantled and was smart enough to figure out the only way he could win, and that's exactly what smart people do in every fight and any situation.

    I remember when Hypnodisc first arrived on Robot Wars. Until then, most of the destruction weapons had been... well.. pretty much useless. Flippers and good driving dominated, with weapons designed to damage doing very little actual damage other than scratches. And then this evil thing came on and literally destroyed the robot it was up against. We were in awe.

      There was another robot that was incredibly destructive though I forgot the name, it used a flipper that was so incredibly powerful it was the height they could flip a robot into the air with was the destructive thing. It was also incredibly fast and very agile which made it capable of attacking head-on incredibly fast while using it's flipper. There were a couple of robots that were flipped over so fast and powerful it rendered them useless very quickly. If I recall correctly it also took on one of the house robots and caused damage to it.

    @VanguardRaven ปีที่แล้ว +35

    The fact alone that Bigger Brother survived the brutality, was able to remain functional and overpower Hypnodisc to pit it, says something about the quality of the machine itself. Any lesser machine would've had its innards strewn across the arena and the chassis in pieces long before Hypnodisc started losing power.
    Working with what you have to overcome the odds, even with a busted weapon and gashes in the armour that has saved it to that point. Higher speed, agility, drive and grip to overcome the opponent is how they won, after weapons became irrelevant. As long as you can still move, it's never over.

    The fact that Widow's Revenge actually managed to get to the second round heat is something of a miracle I have to be honest, but if they hadn't we wouldn't have gotten that hilarious battle between them an Razor. The Mousetrap / S3 fight was very surprising though, as I counted Mousetrap out right from the start but they did surprising damage, and jammed the disc with the spring. Very entertaining. Never heard of Fluffy but after seeing it it's very impressive. First time I've ever seen 101 be nearly immobilised. I thought those tracks were indestructible, especially considering Hypno-Disc got multiple hits on those tracks and did basically nothing.
    And of course I can't leave without saying that the Bigger Brother / Hypno-Disc fight was and still is very painful for Hypno-Disc to lose 😢I love Hypno-Disc and just wanted them to win a series but they always got so close and lost in some way. Bigger Brother is still a great robot, though, they're just such a nice, friendly team.

    Typhoon because it rips apart everything
    Hypnodisk because it just rips holes in armour and breaks weapons
    And razor because it has extremely satisfying 1 hit kills, that and they regularly rip up robots to the point they are barely living and then goes and hunts the house robots because it can easily do so.

      The same went for the openness of the arena in that time, due to the new battery technologies and the increasing amount of fires started by excessive damage proved to be worrying enough that they were also requested to close of the arena so that harmful gasses could not reach the public anymore, which was a huuuuge investment.
      I also read once (and I'm not sure if this is actually true) that it became increasingly difficult from teams outside the UK to reach the event due to regulations on battery transportation getting ever more strict and in some cases the teams would be unable to make it in time because their batteries had to be shipped independent of each other, something that, at times for teams from further away in the UK alone could be a problem as well.

    That fight Mousetrap had with s3 must have given birth to some new ideas surely.
    For example a robot with entire exterior covered in loose strings and thick steel wool foil. So that all robots designed with spinning weapons get jammed and entangled with the stings and steel wool and render the weapon useles.
    While for itself the robot can have just good protected tires and extremely high torque motors solely for pushing double its weight.
    Then every fight use the Pit to push the opponents in to win just like Big brother did.

    I do love the strategy from bigger brother in that final fight, it's similar to some stuff I see in battlebots a lot, where you just try to tank enough hits from a powerful weapon that you can get a hit in, or even make it damage itself

    After that thrashing from HD you can completely understand why Atomic in Series 7 had a 2nd flipper attachment that was designed for horizontal spinners.
    S3 doesn't get enough praise for me, they quickly became one of my favourite robots after all the battles in their heat (especially their encounter with Mousetrap) and their snatch weapon was so formidable.
    Suprised that Wild Thing vs Trouble and Stife was not included here, I thought that was a brutal affair as well even though the fight itself was short.
    Fluffy had their reliability been better they easily would have made the Semi Final heck maybe even the Grand Final.

      Sir Chromalot Vs Rohog, Behemoth Vs Supernova, Major Tom Vs Kliptonite, Wild Thing Vs Trouble 'n' Strife and Firestorm Vs Bee-Capitator were all considered yeah. There's definitely more good destruction fights, but felt these were the standouts especially from competitor involvement in the damage.

    All these high tech robots would lose against low tech. A bot with a crane arm and a rare earth magnet on the end of the arm would simply lift up the other bot and drop it in the pit. A switchable permanent magnet 🧲 Is the way to go. Why no one has thought of using magnetism to win is interesting.

  • @TheRodentSama
    @TheRodentSama 2 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    Only problem with Hypnodisc was it had pissy little wheels and a weak chassis.
    Every time they lost a battle, it was because they'd taken a hit to the wheels, or a heavy blow that buckled the axles.
    They fixed their original weakness with a self-right mechanism, but if they'd stuck that weapon onto a more solid chassis, something akin to the squat wheelbase and chunky wheels of Chaos 2, or something like Panic Attack, they would have either destroyed any robot within seconds, or managed at least to last a whole round without getting immobilised because of a design fault.

      @user-tw8dl2jh2x 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      They have rules for how the robots are built. You can't just have everything the best possible... or it's op.
      The point is if your allowed a strong weapon/body/wheels etc but you have to trade off with weaker other parts. Or you can not have such a strong weapon or body and be more well rounded.
      This is why the house robots are op, they dont have to follow the entry requirements

    • @someguy4915

      @@user-tw8dl2jh2x Simply not true, there's weight limits (you cannot build a 2 ton robot tank), weapons limits (no more >50KG spinning blades, no explosives/projectile weapons and so on), type limits (no flying main robots) and size limits.
      There is not a rule to balance robots like you said, how would such a rule even be possible?
      If your weapon is 90% good then your armor can only be 10% good but you can also have a 'gooder' battery?...
      The only rule there is that you choose what robot you build, as long as it doesn't shoot bullets, throw grenades or spray mustard gas you are the one who chooses what you build for a chassis, weaponry and so on.

      @@someguy4915 There is a rule, it's the weight limit and other rules you mentioned systematically don't allow you to have too many or severely overpowered weapons or components.
      You tried to disagree with me but in doing so you stated the actual evidence that I was talking about, the rules are made for this reason.
      I was using a strong body/wheels simply as an example of what you may have to trade-off if you follow all the entry rules you stated. I didnt actually say or claim that there was infact a specific rule for this, just a layman's example without the need to do in depth like you have about such a simple statement.
