I was watching Robot Wars today on TV, got into a habit of it again. Sgt Bash fighting the ref and chasing him around the arena was brilliant, this show is too entertaining.
I remember the final where Chaos 2 flipped Hypno-Disc! It was the main reason that the Hypno-Disc team installed a self righting mechanism for the the following series! They said in an interview that the only reason they could ever have lost the fight against Chaos 2 was if the disc stopped spinning or the chassis got flipped! Ah.....Memories!
Nobody has mentioned anything involving Wild Thing, the fight with Chaos 2 in the Series 5 Semi-Final, or with 259 in the Series 6 Heat, or Bigger Brother Vs Hypno-Disc
Nah it isn't. It's why we didn't see them in s6 was david's. As for s7, Alan let Stuart drive, and I think he was doing his pit job. Cause he had that in S6 and S7 as did Kim Davies and George Francis.
I wish I could LOVE the Flipper Frenzy like so many people do, but I can't. The attack on Sergeant Bash was amusing for the first couple of flips, and then it became a bit annoying and dragged on, because it was going nowhere. It could've been such a good *fight*. Anyhow, interesting list, some very diverse, but good choices.
Some interesting choices, I'd say my top 10 were: 10. X-terminator vs Tsunami 9. Black Hole vs Tsunami 8. Hypno Disc vs Splinter 7. Northern Annihilator Round 1 6. Storm II vs Tornado, Grand Final Series 7. 5. Dominator II vs Tornado 4. Terrorhurtz vs Bigger Brother 3. Wheely Big Cheese vs Awe Axe 2. Panic Attack vs Stinger 1. Razer vs Tornado, Grand Final Series 6.
Thanks for the memories but shame about the up and down sound ( not your fault ) . Looking forward to the return of Robot Wars on the BBC this Sunday ( 6 episodes ).
Whenever I get stressed out what I do is I watch a fight involving Razer and the same time it sinks it's weapon into a robot I sink my hand into my pants
the southern annihilator final was a very good choice for no.1, it was that battle that made razer famous for destroying matilda, it's a shame razer won't be back for robot wars' revival, but razer was world champions 2 times over and that was probably all they wanted to get.
I don't know when these happened, so I might be talking about episodes that happened after this video, but I was hoping/expecting to see bash vs ref and psycho getting flipped.
Razer attempted to attack the tire to try and shred it but didn't manage to do any real damage, the other tire that was shredded was damaged in a previous battle in the annihilator

I'm not too familiar with the robot wars rules, if a robot goes into the corner where the house robots are does that mean that the house robot can then attack that robot? And how come the house robots just go onto the arena sometimes? I know that if you press a button the pit or something drops and if you push a robot into it they're out
Yeah, they're basically another arena hazard, the house robots don't have the same weight/weapon restrictions on their build either. In the old show they had different events, some of them allowed the house robots out of their zone. The house robots are essentially rodeo clowns, they get in the way when something's going wrong, control the flow of the matches etc. They were generally more aggressive in the old show than they were are the reboot currently
The pit release button now can go two ways, if it falls left, the pit opens like normal, but if it goes right, then a house robot can roll out of the CPZ and harass the competitors

Please work on halflife 3 pls
Jake Sinden Sorry im too busy, lots of Robot Wars to watch
On the last one it just seems like the house robots are trying desperately to saving the mechanic from having to completely remake Matilda.

I really want to see a house robot battle royale.

+Thomas Webb I clicked on this video just because I was hoping to see BB Vs Hypno-Disc, that fight was so good!
R.I.P. Pussycats aka Team Cold Fusions David Gribble driver (motorcycle accident) and Alan Gribble engineer (Cancer) 20:28
Noice
+Keith Mass What? Is this true?! :O
Motorsport101
Yes thats why you did not see them in series 7 :(
Nah it isn't. It's why we didn't see them in s6 was david's. As for s7, Alan let Stuart drive, and I think he was doing his pit job. Cause he had that in S6 and S7 as did Kim Davies and George Francis.

Man I never remembered the house robots spending so much time outside the CPZs.
Coming to think about I should have uploaded the video on this channel : / maybe I'll do another top ten robot wars battles...
Some interesting choices,
I'd say my top 10 were:
10. X-terminator vs Tsunami
9. Black Hole vs Tsunami
8. Hypno Disc vs Splinter
7. Northern Annihilator Round 1
6. Storm II vs Tornado, Grand Final Series 7.
5. Dominator II vs Tornado
4. Terrorhurtz vs Bigger Brother
3. Wheely Big Cheese vs Awe Axe
2. Panic Attack vs Stinger
1. Razer vs Tornado, Grand Final Series 6.
+DRBWildlife nice

IT'S COMING BACK GUYS! IT'S COMING BACK!
+Ritual of Devastation There was a 2015 one last summer but it was pretty bad. They did 1 season in vegas.
2 more weeks 2 more weeks!
I feel sorry for Kill a Tron, he was just being thrown about like a ragdoll before being tortured by Killalot.
Whenever I get stressed out what I do is I watch a fight involving Razer and the same time it sinks it's weapon into a robot I sink my hand into my pants
Did anyone notice at 5:35 that the pit raised out of the floor before descending?
yeah
the southern annihilator final was a very good choice for no.1, it was that battle that made razer famous for destroying matilda, it's a shame razer won't be back for robot wars' revival, but razer was world champions 2 times over and that was probably all they wanted to get.
+Shulk 457
They posted pictures on the Razer Facebook page to suggest they may be returning.
yes, i have seen them on the list of returning robots, serious hype going right now!
uhh yeh they are in ep 1 of the reboot bud.
yeah, I know that now, sent them a link to the southern annihilator final with the message: 'let's give the new matilda a WARM welcome!' XD
I don't know when these happened, so I might be talking about episodes that happened after this video, but I was hoping/expecting to see bash vs ref and psycho getting flipped.
well, i thought the "best" battle is going to be just a normal battle when i saw the bots...
boy, was i wrong - good stuff
The most epic fight has to be Chaos 2 vs Wild Thing!
BEST TV SHOW EVER!
It's good and strang
The commentator is awesome
Sorrybut dont u think that razer at the end attacked onslaughts other tyre?
Razer attempted to attack the tire to try and shred it but didn't manage to do any real damage, the other tire that was shredded was damaged in a previous battle in the annihilator
chaos 2 and bigger brother are my favorite

Howtard Ah ok thank you

Barnaby Cooper those rules applied in Series 9
Wat, no hypno vs robogeddon?
was that really a good fight though? just hypno beating on a dead machine for 3 minutes
God i miss Robot Wars...
Oh my god! What a time to be alive lol
aw you didn't show what happened after the number 1 spot
Aaaaaand... we're back!
Poor Matilda.
Matilda is like the scrub of house robots and she's kinda useless
+falloutghoul1 I can't watch it :( I despise the Razor team. My favorite battle was when Pussycat knocked the shit out of Razor.
razor could prob beat the ref bot and sgt bash
RAZER destroyed Matilda. If would beat them two but not Sir Killalot or Death Metal
Know what you mean
cant you just use rockets
No for health and safety reasons, there's limitations on what weapons you can have, no projectiles, no corrosive substances (acid) etc
question...what about plasma/laser cutters?
Same thing, the only robot who got away with a lethal projectile weapon was Bash and his flamethrower, and he's been made redundant now in the reboot
The stupid dog robot design lmao
House robots suck
