Looking at the list, it looks as if someone REALLY likes Series 3. Which I am glad, considering I am also a major fan of Series 3. One of my reasons for this? Accessibility, seeing as anyone could enter the series for less than a grand and still theoretically do well. I have to be honest, while I enjoyed the reboot series, the cost factor of the robots was getting to the point where building a heavyweight was very cost prohibitive for families and other casual teams.

Compare this to Series 3, where we had Robogeddon and Stealth, costing £400 and £200 respectively, be destroyed by Hypno-Disc. Yeah sure, some would argue that it still cost both teams a bit, but at least it was a couple of hundred pounds they lost, not a couple of thousand.
