In my opinion, sticking two robots in a box, has had its day.

Not necessarily. Thats like saying that sticking two people in a ring and leting them hit each other, or having two people face each other across a net and hit a ball back and forth has had its day. It depends on the people and how good they are at what they do. One problem we had on TV is that most of the good machines and good fights were boring to an audiance that wants to see pieces coming off and machines being smashed up.

But that said, I look forward to building a feather that can climb the steps in the new improved RR arena.

Oi ya cheeky gits!!!

At least it didnt get stuck on its back flapping like a lady bird with its legs in the air !!

Id love to watch the fight again but its not on you tube.

I didnt quite mean what i said in the way maybe it was interprated... i just meant that i think its time to add a bit of a change, make people use a bit of tactics.

The arena flipper and pit are good.... but lets think of something new and innovative.

well tbh if BBC or the main channels dont want it then its had its day :sad:

but when we see the results of rebel robots and battlebots in america then the likes of sky one will see how much it has improved

as every robot nowadays is reliable and 5 years ago or whenever it ended everyone had all sorts or problems

i prefer the one on one fighting but however we get it on tv i will compete
