User blog:CrashBash/Top 10 Mistakes Robot Wars made that made the UK Championships less enjoyable

Robot Wars has nearly finished with its tenth main series and it's been an absolute thrill ride. Even without seeing the final, I know it's going to be epic, no matter who wins. Throughout all ten UK championships, we've seen some amazing battles and spectacles in the arena and even the reboot has made me feel like a ten year old again. I should be happy with everything Robot Wars has done, and believe me, I am...

...but it's just far easier to complain about stuff! I am clearly from the internet.

Robot Wars has done a lot of good stuff over the years, and I think it's fair to say that the good stuff far FAR outweighs the bad stuff, but when the bad stuff hits, it's noticeable. Sometimes the niggling is a little more subtle, but sometimes it's like Apex's bar getting smashed in your face. It's very rare that these will actually ruin a series of Robot Wars - in fact I'd say damn-near impossible, but they're still wrong and someone needs to talk about them.

A few rules to go through here - I will only be considering the UK championships in particular, so I will not be intentionally covering Extreme series or any side events. Also with that in mind, I will be picking one "mistake" from each of the ten UK championships. Considering there are some series that have only one small mistake and then others that have about four or five, I feel it's fair to get some balance in there. Furthermore, I am largely looking into this list on how this affects Robot Wars in the eyes of the viewer - so stuff that happens behind the scenes will be largely omitted. Keep in mind there will be exceptions, but we'll get to that when we get to them.

Also, if you really want to join in, each representative will also have a clue to the next series in the list somewhere, so see if you can guess what might be coming next. Even this very introduction has a clue to the Series I'll be calling out first, if you can find it. Is this a sleazy way of making sure you actually read my lists? Maybe, but it's effective, right?
