Clearly its edited James - they dont just run one cut from one camera - my point was if there is a lull in the action then they dont just skip 3 mins of a fight and use a voice over of cease.

Mentorn just play cease whenever they feel like it on TV, regardless of when it happenned during the fight !

Stop nit picking, you know what I mean !

A sad fool me but I know that a 3 mins fight on BB is 3 mins on screen and a 5 min fight on RW can be.....well.....whatever. Ive timed some in the past out of interest but its just a matter of presentation. The pseudo sports show set-up of BB in the studio like JB, Terry & Howie on the Fox half time game show - except they talk about their lunch or something.
The saying that time flies when youre enjoying yourself applies as much here as anywhere else.
Anyway - I havent said that I even like RW, I dont, but it does apply itself better to those with a longer attention span than your average US viewer.
As for bouts on the live circuit - a 2 hour show seems to be over in a flash for me :sad:

Anyway - were miles away from the subject of favorite BB robots.

Weird, for once I actually agree with Ed Battlebots is, without a doubt, the most pure and superior form of this sport.

My favorites - Mechadon and Mauler 51-50.

Hey Ed! If there is another season - is there any chace of Storm 2 being in it?

I think theres is a reasonable contingent of teams willing to hop across the pond for the next season. If I know Ed, and based on the general noises hes been making about the superior events and competitions held in the states, Id be willing to bet a fair bit on seeing Storm II in BB. Can you clarify Ed?

It will in all probability be a nightmare considering the current climate in the US over security and stopping anything even remotely out of the ordinary from ever leaving the ground. A airplane hold full of fighting robots wont exactly go unnoticed, or untouched. You may be faced with rebuilding them from the molecules up.

Im glad that my post has recieved so much attention...but few messages have anything to do with battlebots robots!

P.S. There have been some VERY entertaining battlebots fights, and in reply to an earlier comment, the superheavyweights are my favourite division!

Thought nitpicking was the fashion at the moment Ed?

I do actually agree with you, as a sport BB is by far the best, I think it is also better to watch, if you ignore the wallys talking about their lunch through the fight.

BB is more hardcore, and Ill certainly be at the next one (assuming Im invited of course)

My top 10

Warhead
Mechadon
Nightmare
Mechavore
Hazard
Ziggo
the rest are pretty much forgetable as far as Im concerned, not saying theyre bad, just dont really think they are favorites of mine.

Karoline, youre right.

The first time we went to visit an English live event (Croydon 2001) we had Project Ones axe in the trunk of our car. Oh you should have seen the face of the English Customs Officer when we opened the trunk and took out that 1 meter long steel axe with a blade of 20 cm wide !!! I doubt American Customs Officers will be as broadminded as this English one -whose face brightened with sudden enthousiasm on the mention of Robot Wars- was.
I also wonder if American roboteers would be able to ship their robots to the UK and back to the USA without having to answer some very pertinent questions ? Besides, dont all roboteers have screwdrivers, spanners and cutters in their pockets ? I know I would get into trouble in no time... I always carry an almost complete set of tools in my purse.

Getting robots over to the US in hold luggage or shipped is no problem.

The same ways as a normal suitcase or do you have to have customs docs? On Egyptair youd probably have to fight the other passengers but Im sure you get Storm II in the overhead locker
I certainly wont travel to the US now especially with the stamps in my passport and the tattoo will make them think Im an Egyptian religious fanatic - then, like Babeth said, theres the toolkit.

Sorry George - were way off subject

Must have been an early series. Recently, Biohazard has reigned supreme over all other combat robots.
