 * 3: Sir Chromalot being pitted and the reaction to the Sir Chromalot winning. Indeed, whilst the controversy of the House Robots pitting Sir Chromalot was resolved, it still provides evidence that the House Robots were really unfair in Series 3. Plus, the fact that the audience booed the decision made me think of the Mortis controversy a series earlier. Not good.


 * 2: Another weak heat. Unpopular opinion: I seriously think that had Milly-Ann Bug not self-pitted itself, it would have won this heat. After all, Big Brother was not really that competitive, whilst Ultor was just average to say the least. And they were the best robots after Milly-Ann Bug's loss to Bumblebot!


 * 1: The Parthian Shot. Here is something new I am going to implement during my Rusty Spanner nominations. If I think something is one of the biggest Rusty Spanner moments of all-time, it is going in bold to represent this. Clearly, The Parthian Shot deserves a bolded mention, since whilst withdrawing in Series 2 was unlucky, withdrawing AGAIN is unacceptable. I mean seriously, Flipper may get some slack on this Wiki, but at least it WORKED and thus could compete. The Parthian Shot failed to do this two times in a row.
