Ed, its a fantastic machine however if you wanted to get to the World Championships, youd have to finish in the top 3. John Willoughby, excellent finale for Steel Avenger, what can we expect from SA2 next time round?
Vic, the Robot Wars crew became VERY worried during the qualifiers and the filming because the arena got a lot of damage from the start that was worse than they have ever seen before. We are talking about I-beams of (Im guessing here) 100 milimeter think getting bent like straws, Im talking about polycarbonate panels getting smashed like thin ice, Im talking about using crowbars to dislodge panels wrecked into the supporting beams and for removing removable links (pun intended), I talking about cameras getting hit by flying robots, featherweights going into orbit and roof lamps having to be replaced. A lot of money was spent there.
It was fun though.

The reason I guess that RW was worried about the state of the arena was a public safety issue more than the actual damage to the set. A hit to an already weakened construction could result in serious injury to the audience.
Then there arena is not up to scratch then is it.
I agree. But after watching the fights from the pit are i also found that the robots this year are far more destructive compared to the robots of series 6 vs series 5.
I believe it has to do with the increasing amount of Magmotors, Lems, fullpressure systems, buffertanks, Nicads, Hardox, and other neat stuff i dont have the money for in series 7, wich were more rare in series 6.
The robots have evolved this past year in a way Mentorn never anticipated. And im pretty sure you wont see this arena for series 8.
if we see a series 8!!!
Think positive. And if not, then not. Eitherway, the arena problem is sorted then.
possibley i they can spend that sort of money on a new one.
