I would have thought there would be more 'robotteers' on PH tbh.
You might find them on the Match.com thread I would have thought there would be more 'robotteers' on PH tbh.

I KNEW there'd be a PH thread about it! I've been watching the repeats too when I get home from work.
It's brilliant! Yup, very cringeworthy (even worst than I remember!) but great fun. I always seem to miss good fights though - I remember it was very tournament based, but now there always seems to be just random fights that they call different names.

Robot Wars was a proper tournament, Robot Wars Extreme (thats showing on Dave) was a bit of a tournament with random bits thrown in like the international fights with the little bit rubbish European and American robots and that belt contest for random grudge matches. The first series (Clarkson presented) was a set of obstacle course type things with a fight as the final. The best time of it for me was probably second or third series, with Phillipa ( It's brilliant! Yup, very cringeworthy (even worst than I remember!) but great fun.

Just reading through Wikipedia, it seems you're right - the weight limit went up to 100kg so yes, they got heavier.
I'd forgotten about Chaos2 ! He used to flip people out the ring!
Never liked Chaos2, it was good father and son...and then some bloke who drove it. Bit too serious for my liking, I'd rather have seen the kid operate it with his father.I'd forgotten about Chaos2 ! He used to flip people out the ring!

i got as far as building a chassis for it, with my uncle, was going to be like tornado (a personal favourite of mine), but as with alot of things i wanted at that age the enthusiasm wore off
Tornado was my mate's cousin - we spoke to them at his wedding. Nice guys actually! One of the less-geeky teams!

Can anyone remember who it was who got out of the pit? Possibly Cassius, I seem to recall a bot flipped out of the pit (although it has already lost IIRC) and attacking the house bots.
