    I'm so glad that Jonathan Pearce is still commentating in Robot Wars, the show just wouldn't be the same without him.

      RPKVids he's still been the only commentator on Robot Wars to date for U.K. only (not counting the Dutch, German and American Wars)

    4:12 Thus 2 of the house robots got flipped. No matter the improvements, they still get the same result.

    shame they hadn't mention that Storm 2 vs PP3D is a grudge match since PP3D's team captain was a member of the typhoon 2 team

    • @Headbanger142

      They never actually mentioned anything about the old series since they're trying to start from scratch.

      Storm 2 was pretty well designed, defensively, defense robots are in concept alone, usually pretty boring.

    • @Garfie489
      @Garfie489 8 років тому +2

      Should point out the price is actually deceptive, if you was to build it again from scratch it wouldnt cost even a quarter of the stated price

      Jammy Splodge Chaos 2 could never flip Dead Metal unlike Gravity in Series 7 who back then was the only robot to have done it.

    • @dukemydogy

    Matilda and Dead metal weigh around 350kg each! Apollos flipping power is seriously huge! wouldn't want to be standing anywhere near it when that goes off!

    • @Garfie489
      @Garfie489 8 років тому +2

      The force in the ram of nearly all the robots youll see competing is around the 5 tonne mark. The leverage of the flipper arm reduces that, but itll still "lift" a ton.

    I would love to see the better Robot Wars bots compete against the top BattleBots bots. What's the weight of the Robot Wars bots though for this season?

    • @CupsofCopus
      @CupsofCopus 8 років тому

      the Max weight for competitors this year is 110kg

    • @Blingo88
      @Blingo88 8 років тому

      Battlebots is 250 lb = 113 kg so that could actually work.

    • @barangoal9056

    • @acopspi1436
      @acopspi1436 8 років тому +1

      It will take a couple of years before Robot Wars catches up with Battlebots in terms of overall robot quality. Most of the competitors are either old Robot Wars competitors who haven't significantly upgraded their designs, veterans of the UK circuit who haven't had to deal with spinners in years or rushed first time entries as the producers gave so little time between announcing entrants and the start of filming (hence the existence of Overdozer). That said, the quality of entrants in the first series of Robot Wars back in the day was low compared to the Americans who had been at it for years by that point but the UK very quickly caught up. I have no doubt the same will happen now. I do think Pulsar (when its working) would do quite well in the States though.

    • @sunray2818
      @sunray2818 8 років тому

      Old motor was too expensive to run in live events,so they changed cheaper and much easier to overheat ones.Due to the preparation of Battlebots they don't have time to change back.

    • @bojackhorseman5367
      @bojackhorseman5367 8 років тому

      All it seems to do is give haters/old series nostalgia fanboys ammunition - I've actually seen people commenting that the fights are too short and the sound quality is poor, as if they think this is the actual TV show...

    • @temoherbert172
      @temoherbert172 7 років тому

      a the flippers like apollo lost their reputation of be savage rivals when they are in the US, because they are to weak if they are attacked by the sides of from behind, the US robots are more agile, for example and a fun fact at the same time, one of the first two robots in fight in the renovated battlebots of 2015 was a UK flipper, called kronic (who tecnically is apollo painted in blue, that two are very similar, but with diferent color), and kronic lost againts Swamp Thing, a single wedge bot with two wheels and a flamethrower, that fight was short, because kronic was dominated all the time by Swamp thing, another match was the bulldog (a flipper created by the same team of the bigger borther and the little sister) that fought in a triple battle, fighting Bulldog, the veteran Matt with Stinger, and the "mexican" Splatter, splatter only out attention to saw how Stinger pushed against the wall over and over again the Bulldog, and i have to say that the inertia labs flipper bot, Bronco, is more powerful

    • @SpitfireFortyFour
      @SpitfireFortyFour 7 років тому +1

      Temo Herbert Chronic was dominating Swamp Thing not the other way round, it lost due to an electrical issue nothing more. When running nitrogen Chronic has more lift than Bronco due to a larger ram and more leverage with the flipper. The reason you don't see wedge flippers like Apollo/Eruption/Rapid is because they don't want to encourage wedge bots at Battlebots.

  • @Donstheman
    @Donstheman 7 років тому

    Bullshit, Eruption should have beat Storm 2, Storm 2 was immobilised.

    • @CupsofCopus
      @CupsofCopus 8 років тому

      you can't really compare them this a brand new reboot that started this year so the robots aren't up to scratch compared to the robots over the pond

    • @itemguy4
      @itemguy4 8 років тому

      Same concept though, even the first season of the reboot of Battle Bots was far better than any season of Robot Wars

    • @donov25
      @donov25 8 років тому +2

      Thems fighting words.
      Certainly the current run of battlebots is better than current robot wars but only in terms of robots.
      Theres too much garbage american TV filler in battlebots. The robot wars show is better.

    • @eddimeek

      Robot wars has Jonathan Pierce. Nothing can beat that.

    • @itemguy4
      @itemguy4 8 років тому

      You don't watch the show for people, you watch it for robots tearing each other apart. Robot Wars is full of flippers and pushers. Low quality bots. Battlebots has several knockouts through each season and Robot Wars does not. That's what you watch for. Battling bots destroying each other and not just getting knocked around.
