>implying I even know who the teams are

Usually I watch on iPlayer and skip straight to the fights.

>>80925763
No one. 5 spinners, another school/kids team, poo in the loo team, reddit man, foxic faggot's brother. The closest to /ourguy/ are Wyrm, who made the wooden machine last series.

>>80925763
Are there any good streams?

>>80925961

>the wooden machine

sounds pretty autistic, did it get set on fire?

>5 spinners
>1 with spinner as secondary weapon
>1 of the non-spinners is the ex overdozer team
>the other is an original series robot with seemingly little to no upgrades

>>80926306
Unfortunately not.
>Autistic
Are you telling me you don't want to make a wooden machine with a petrol engine for the purpose of setting on fire?

Why the fuck is the speed bar on each robot's stats changing all the time? They all have 10-15 mph top speeds, so why does the rating vary so much each time a robot is introduced?

Why the fuck is there an 'attack' and 'defence' bar? How can you rate those things empirically?

I was told in the first series they had very little time to make the robots that''s why they were shit, why in series 2 are they still shit?

Must have figured there was nothing worth saving anyway.

new rules:
1v1
if you bring a spinner the house robots can come out the corners whenever they want just to fuck you up
no weight/material limits, if it fits through the door it can fight
if you bring kids, they must ride the robot

I thought half your drive going meant you were immobile

How the fuck is this even a discussion? Pulsar could only move in circles

>Ironside hit the flipper so hard it left a fucking dent

>>80927830

That's maybe 1% of flippers. Most of them just turn their opponent upside down and wait for the countdown.

>both teams 2 points

What, Pulsar clearly lost either by immobilisation or judge

Has the fire pit ever actually immobilised anything? Apart from meme ones like Nemesis that were obviously designed to be set on fire.

Though Pulsar was better before half the drive went 2bh.

I would just build a robot with the thickest armour and biggest motor.

Who even needs a weapon when you can make the other robots break themselves? IF yo cant break them just push them into the house robots or the pit lol.

They should get rid of these 2500 rpm spinners.

>>80930451
