They should have kept the battle music from the old series
There's so much they should have kept from the old series. The old house robots had so much more personality, the old arena was more raw, dangerous and had better style, the old graphics for the transitions, robot info and stuff was so much cooler and the music was great. The whole thing was raw, metal and industrial. This new one felt artificial, clean and too sciency
57:32 Dara could've announced the winner with a bit more excitement, just like Craig Charles use to do.
Skip to 8 mins. Then watch one shot fight. Then move on because it's 50 mins of total bollocks back story and lore. Just basically justifying an hour long video with nothing going on
Total waste of time.
Just watch battle bots.
It's much better and actually entertaining with much less TV time filler bs.
I like robot fights and stuff, but man the BBC production value is lacking.
The sound design is hilarious, weirdly this was the thing that put me off at the time
This was my first time watching a championship episode of Robot Wars. This was awesome to watch. I even have this episode in 60fps on Blu-ray and the Science Channel cut
wish i had money to build combat robots, i have so many ideas that have never been seen before.
1) add brakes on spinning weapons, so it won't tear itself apart (like tombstone does all the time)
2) add automatic gearbox on spinning weapons, so it has insane torque + speed. i've seen so many spinners get jammed up either in other bots, walls or due bent armor, this would just bruteforce it and keeps it working.
3) don't use chains or belts, use hub motors (that's been done on smaller bots)
4) on flippers and axe bots, use A.I. controlled weapon. it would measure the distance using laser and if there's nothing to hit, it wouldn't hit at all. you have a button that you hold down and during that the weapon is active, so if something enters in the "danger zone", then it will auto fire the weapon. i see so many of them missing hits as they can't time it perfectly, A.I. would eliminate this. wouldn't even have to be A.I., just some automatic system to check. if it won't be able to make the hit, it won't hit. like if object is moving too fast, it won't attempt to hit it or it pre-fires and hits dead-on.
5) instead of using rubberbands or other nonense to pull the flipper back, use springed hinges, this way as long as the flipper is attached to the bot, it will go back to original position, i've seen lot of flippers break and remain open.
6) some bots probably have it, but make upside down controls. if your bot gets flipped and it can drive upside down, then add a switch that you can flip and it flips the controls on your controller aswell, so you won't have to drive with backwards controls.
7) on bots like carbide, use hub motor and make the entire weapon mount flexible, like car engine is mounted on heavy rubber bads, this way it wouldn't take the impact itself and there's less chance that bots goes flying after hitting opponent. it could still probably use a chain, just needs some heavy duty chain tensioner that prevents the chain from coming loose after impacts when the mount is moving.
Somebody fund this lunatic haha
dangggg
wait its back we can submit applications again ?
The ultimate robot fights will be humanoids fighting each other...?...these are just-dangerous toys...!
Entertainment, just pure entertainment!!
thank you so much for uploading. i love this show much better than battlebots. so sad they were cancelled.
Are you mad... Those battle bots would of fcuked up robot wars robots.. I loved hypnodisc and razor don't get me wrong... But ours against the battle bots would have been embarrassing... Tombstone, carbide, minataur, riptide would have obliterated any of the robot wars robots.... Even sir killalot would have been a bit shook
Admittedly alot of the battle bots robots are built by University engineering students ours were probably built in sheds by postmen
...HMMMMPH...COMPETITION FORMAT WAS OFF, WHY NOT CRAIG CHARLES
...NO WONDER IT WAS CANCELLED
Carbide, AKA the second coming of Hypno-Disc. 😎
I mean being honest…that Thor design was worthless.
I always preferred Battlebots to Robot Wars
I miss this :(
👌🤓👍
17:44 The glue must have wore off. 😛
this tourney kinda seems like a joke compared to battle bots
Compared to the last 4-5 seasons of BattleBots maybe, but this was filmed in 2016 which would align with about season 2 of BattleBots 2015 reboot.
Very few bots in both shows ran brushless motors, most competitors only had 1 frame and the quality is pretty comparable in my opinion, the biggest difference is that BB had a lot more spinners while the UK had more flippers since the arena had a proper Out Of The Arena zone.
They were on a BBC budget, they weren't allowed sponsorships.
