I have visited the Robot Wars Reddit once in my time, mainly because I vehemently loathe Reddit and everything about it. Anyway, that's not really relevant, but the time I visited was during the last Quiz, which happened during the Tennis break in Series 10. In the chat was a thread about which robot would be best at Tennis.

So that got me thinking. We know about the Football trial, and there was that tennis discussion, so why not expand it?

''NB: All robots nominated will not have any external modifications specifically for the sport, except adding official equipment, such as a Tennis racket if necessary. Weapons are all usable, and assumed to not cause damage to anything.''

I will put up a list of sports, and in the comments start nominating which robots you think would be great at it. I will start compiling teams, grids - or in the case of individual sports - a top 5/8/10 of which would excel at them.

Football
Give me your Wars XI. Which 11 robots will get in the team?

We're going for a 4-4-2 Diamond formation, so we need: 1 Goalkeeper, 2 Wing Backs, 2 Central Defenders, a Central Defensive midfielder, 2 Wingers, a Central Attacking Midfielder, and 2 Strikers.

A grid of 20 robots lining up for the Robot Wars Grand Prix. Who will be best around the Grand Prix circuits?

Gymnastics
We're going for the floor, a large expanse in which to show how agile and impressively you can move, more than just driving around the arena.
