Online Petition to bring back robot wars

[Ellis]

I know many of these things have been done before, but hey, if it increases the chance of Robot Wars making a return even by 0.1%, then I'm in! Signed!

I have used it for Tom guttridge since he produced it and I've had a little contact with him about it. Everyone please feel free to post the link all over the web

I signed it, here's hoping

I kind of agree with Ceri, I'd rather like to see those e-mails myself.

But at the end of the day, the real question is...do we really need Robot Wars back?

[harry hills]

no

[Ellis]

If we consider trying to inspire new people to get into the sport as a need then we absolutely need the program back. If not, then, I still want it back!

But at the end of the day, the real question is...do we really need Robot Wars back?

I disagree entirely. The answer is clearly a No. Someone would always want to see the live events, in the same manner that people see car shows, or exhibitions like Gadget Show live.

The real elephant in room question is: Being selfish & with no solidarity for a second- Do you want Robot Wars back?

To thine own self be true. You need to know the answer to that question but not necessarily share it.

Firstly to many this question of the Robot Wars series being back on TV has done the rounds several times before. It is now several years since the programs were broadcast on the BBC, and here we still are. I think the question do we need the robot wars series on TV I would say probably no.
However it's important the robot scene in one format or another should be On TV as the public is not going to hunt us out, The EO's have to find the paying audience to finance the fun times we have with the robots! TV has been proved to help the audience figures.
I for one like the idea of more robo-games type robot format, (as I don't do combat robots too well) or some other robot type programming,
If you want robots back on TV look forward and not backwards think of a program idea to sell to the TV companies.
And best of luck!

I wasn't suggesting at all that it shouldn't come back. I was simply stating that I wouldn't care one way or another (though if it did, I'd probably watch it for nostalgia value) if it was brought back. However you're right in suggesting I can't speak for everybody, so I'll back off, sorry for that.

I am more than content with the live events, though...even if I'm a few thousand kilometres too far to see them live! (good ol' YouTube, eh)

The thing I miss the most is the house robot's. They where cool, and you can't really replace the original house bots.
