Robot Wars is back!

[MontyVeda]

Will Phillippa Forester be presenting along with Craig Charles though?

who cares... it's robots!

Sergeant Bash must be at least a sergeant major by now.

 

[Cheddar George]

I used to enjoy watching the large over armed behemoths being defeated by something that resembled a wedge of cheese.

 

[AndyRM]

I wonder if Chaos 2 will be allowed back to show everyone how it's done?

Or Razer.

 

[Inertia]

Panic attack was my favourite in the looks stakes

 

[Cletus Van Damme]

It needs to be rocket proof!

Loved that in Spaced, War Bastard lol. I also liked when Daisy was pretending to be Phillipa. That'll be the problem with it no fit Phillipa, made the show. Hope Craig Charles isn't on.

Perfect close-up.

After you, I insist!

One of our engineers was a builder and driver of one of the more successful bots

The big question though must be about the technology and how the rules are written

With advances in electronics, motors, level of control and light robust materials this would be awhile new generation

Imagine a drone based robot that could evade ground based units, swoop down and lift them ... Then drop them to their destruction

... Or a ground based one with anti drone weaponry


This could be a whole new ball game

Hypnodisc for damage.

Hypnodisc for damage.

How about a swarm of mini flying bots? Or even an autonomous class.
There was an American program that was a bit later, that had humanoid style bots controlled by a sort or remote exo-skelton type thing the operator stood in. Sort of a high tech version of this

Hypnodisc for damage.

I think Razor coudl pack a punch too

Any weapons had to stay attached to the robot, unless damaged.
