Robot Wars Series VIII - Grand Final Discussion

[dotDominic]

A really exciting final to end a superb series of intense battles - congrats to Team Apollo for what was, in my opinion, a surprising win over Carbide!
But also congrats to all the competing teams and their incredible machines for making the show as entertaining as it was. For me the presentation style of this new series, particularly the audio and visual design, was very bland and uninspired - with the exception of the menacing house robots. The colourful enthusiasm and camaraderie of the roboteers, however, really shone through and represented the sport very well.

Whilst most seemed positive about the reboot, I personally don't know anyone who has actually watched more than one or two episodes, so I really do hope that ratings were high enough for a second season!
