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.

Hypnodisk for me too, it was utter destruction everytime it went out.

True that. 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

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 :lol:

 

-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)
