Ideas for Robots: Extreme Wars

[liambryant]

Hi guys

After replying to a message from Stu on Youtube, I thought I'd post a thread with some relevance to it here and ask the same question he asked which was is their anything needed to make the shows better. So I thought as a roboteer, I'd do a contribution on the forum to do something similar.

My idea to make the shows better is in addition to robots entering the arena from a bullpen and having their info read out to the crowd, I was also thinking about maybe before the battles you could interview teams with their robots about to take part in upcoming fights and then show them on the projector screens to the audience. The interview would be like the roboteer behind the robot introducing himself, the team and the robot about to take part (think Robot Wars style), an example of what they would say would be like this when talking to the camera.

Hi my names Liam Bryant, this is Shane Swan and this is Jason Marston and this is Storm Force, armed with an axe and a lifter, here to hopefully go all the way.

Thats my idea but if anyone else has other ideas, jot them here.

Cheers
Liam

That sounds like a brilliant idea!

I can't think of much for a physically better show but a larger pit might be better so heavies can fit a but better but Appart from that it looks brillient

That sounds like a great way to increase interest in the machines themselves, and to get the audience on the same level with those competing. Anything more like the Robot Wars style must be a good thing. And the In the red square, to my right, this robot doesn't do something or other but does do this! Here is, Example Name! like Battlebots did would get the crowd more involved still, as they cheer for the robot they support, etc.

great idea i think and when the robot enters maybe try to get a deep voice to say the name

From Nottingham, the Number 1 seed, Ripper, From Edinburgh in Scotland, Storm Force
