Lighthouse Posted 18 December, 2014 Share Posted 18 December, 2014 Being a bit bored and flicking through Youtube, I ended up watching old videos of Robot Wars. That was a good show, any other fans on here? Razer was my favourite. That was one mean looking robot and it used to chew holes in pretty much everything.

Saint_clark Posted 18 December, 2014 Share Posted 18 December, 2014 Great show, I vaguely remember when Sir Killalot was first revealed and it being one of the most awesome moments of my life up to that point I wonder if people still build robots or if that show was literally the only reason they got into it.

SNSUN Posted 18 December, 2014 Share Posted 18 December, 2014 I used to love Robot Wars. Hypno-disc was my favourite robot, completely disintegrating an opponent first time it appeared. Had it been more reliable it would gave won something. The problem with the programme was they kept changing the challenges and people lost interest. I'm pretty sure they also favoured some robots/contestants over others. Shame, as technology gets better every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Diamond Posted 18 December, 2014 Share Posted 18 December, 2014 If I recall, Razer was by a team from Bournemouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friend of mine and his son had a small amount of success in the show, but lost to Razor and always said it was loaded against them. He still waxes lyrical about Philippa Forrester in leather trousers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman Posted 21 December, 2014 Share Posted 21 December, 2014 It was a good show Seen a robot that took part and was shocked at the size of it. Made sense when you saw it for real but i never realised that when watching on telly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFrost Posted 15 December, 2015 Share Posted 15 December, 2015 I noticed last night that their repeating an extreme series on Challenge TV at the moment. I was absolutely obsessed with this show back in the day and was taping it constantly. It wasn't just the best teams either, so many small memories came back because literally everyone had a personality on that show. -Wheely Big Cheese flipping a robot so high it nearly hitting the roof -The Plunderbird team -The fake machismo some of the robot builders had to do for the cameras -My friend's son having a serious crush on the girl from the Wild Thing team -Diotoir being on fire all the time -The knowledge that those kids in the Bigger Brother team must now be in their early 20s and cringe every time they watch a repeat nowadays. The only sad thing was the tragic death of the lad who drove the Pussycat robot (Died in a horrific motorbike accident aged 17) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
