Robot Wars S07E03 Part 3: Over And Out

Yes, I know it’s been a while. Unfortunately I’ve been rather busy. But hey, that’s life for you. Anyway… So we already know that Dantomkia are through to the heat final, but they need somebody to face. That’ll either be King B Powerworks or IG-88; Pusher/lifter or vertical spinner. Two very different kinds of robots. King B just about managed to scrape through in their initial melee- which…

Robot Wars S07E03 Part 2: Spin City

Thanks to my man James, I’ve now been directed to a new set of YouTube videos that aren’t in 240p video quality! Which mean now I can actually get some half decent screengrabs in. Also, my print screen button has started working again, so more power to me. We now know the 4 robots through to the heat semi finals; Dantomkia, Scorpion, IG-88 and King B Powerworks. Dantomkia will face Scorpion…

Robot Wars S07E03 Part 1: Rick Rolling

Episode 3 comes in and rolls around, and I’m back again to write some stuff and post awful quality screengrabs! (Something made more difficult by the fact my printscreen button no longer cares to work for me). But hey, that’s the fun in it. Now, with 2 flippers having made the semi finals so far in M2 and The Grim Reaper, it is more than possible that we may see yet another going through. That’s…

Robot Review: Dantomkia (S08E03)

Dantomkia is a robot with a lot of history, a history it amassed having competed in just two wars (6th & 7th) and Extreme II prior to this year (FRA events not included). Having reached the semi-finals in both wars, Dantomkia holds the record for most robots flipped out of the arena at 10 (A record it stole from Firestorm). It also held the record for shortest fight at 8 seconds, after flipping…

Robot Wars S08E03 Part 3: The Undefeated Warrior

So with just two of the head to head battles left to go, here’s how things stand. TR2 are leading on 6 points, Dantomkia and Big Nipper both have 3 points, and King B Remix have a grand total of zero, and are out of contention. TR2, meanwhile, are already guaranteed a place in the week 3 final. Top and bottom face off against each other in H2H 5, meaning that whoever wins out of H2H 6, Big Nipper…

Robot Wars S08E03 Part 2: Flipping Frenzy

Dantomkia. TR2. Big Nipper. King B Remix. Those are the four robots that have made it through the initial qualifier and into the head to heads. Sporting 3 UK Championships between them, it looked sure to be one hell of a head to head, where realistically anybody could win. Except King B, because, well, King B. To go back to the first heat very quickly, after the fight had finished, we get to see…

Robot Wars S08E03 Part 1: Battle Of The Best

We’re in week 3 of Robot Wars, the 8th wars, which means we’re now half way through. We’re now half way through the 6 week run that will make up this series. Time has flown by, along with half a dozen or so bits of Nuts and what’s left of Overdozer. Talking of Overdozer, who I am fairly sure constitute the worst robot I have ever seen on Robot Wars- and I’ve lived through Ruf Ruf Dougall and 2…
