BattleBots UK competitors :)

[Eventorizon]

Because BattleBots selected the competitors, they chose machines that suited the reboot of the show rather than ones that were already built. They wanted new, shiny and exciting machines rather than old ones. That's not to say people wouldn't have made mods to their current machines but for this first series BB were in control. It may relax next time or there may be more entrants allowed giving other Combots robots a chance.

[Flag Captured]

I'd imagine that'd be the case, a second series being a little more relaxed and open for entries. At the end of the day, this was always a pilot run and you need exciting battles to get people interested and get a second series. Battles might have been interesting with no application process, but you need that assurance I guess, especially when you've only got 6 episodes to go at.

As it happens, it looks like there's plenty of interesting designs and it certainly sounds like everything was rather impressive to watch!

[RogueTwoRobots]

I really hope that Warhead clip isn't a massive spoiler. I've never known if it can self-right when flipped with the wings down.

[Eventorizon]

I have seen warhead self right it at least once, but the disc hit the floor on the way down and sent it into a spin. Might have been against Darkstar or maybe Overkill.

[RogueTwoRobots]

It self-righted against Darkstar but from a side, wings up position. In the clip with The Killer Bee it's upside down with its wings down at its sides. Not sure if it's got enough force to pull the wings together to complete a 180 degree self-right.

[psychostorm]

The original Warhead used to be able to push the disk forward but would that ram have enough strength to be helpful.

The same thing happened to Predator at the champs so you'd have thought they'd have checked that.

[Niels - Team K.a.L.M.]

Well, just watched the first episode and apart from the serious load of commercials intersecting the broadcast I have little complaints. It is as expected very american and they added some epic audio to avarage hits. The fights themselfes were amusing and well selected. There was carnage, controversy and a lame one to be seen in this episode.

All in all it was worth it to get up an hour earlier than normal.
