Or Nuts. I don't think anybody expected them to survive the first heat, but they had googly eyes and bright colours, costumes, and gave a show and some amusement.

Should point out Nuts is one of the top robots in the UK. Currently ranked 5th in the FRA standings.

However regarding sweeny todd ect, you are right. Similarly other rather weak robots caught the productions companies eye, however interest was lost in them when they mentioned their intention to upgrade themselves to modern specs.

The best way to get into the sport is start in featherweights. Feathers allow all weapon types several times a year (including spinners). Also having a scale model to show is enough for the production company to see proof of concept, its cheaper and tbh for a newcomer its heavily recommended by many in the community to not start with heavyweights unless you have prior experience - Sweeny Todd was built by a team of qualified individuals..... and being fair what they came up with isnt even a legal heavyweight.

With regards to getting selected for the TV show, remember this - do you think the Apprentice candidates are really the best business minds in the country? i decided to go to an audition for a laugh, and i can guarantee personalities are chosen above all else. They just want a plausible backstory and from there experience is not required.

Really?o.0
Okay, didn't know that.
Well, although i don't know if it could actually do some dmg with that flails, the design sure is failproof to anything that doesn't spin. and without spinners anywhere else... i think i can see how it would be hard to beat it.
