Comments
Please write comments and anything else here. Above the line, this page is intended to end up as a mainspace article. Firstly, I want to ask for help adding Robot Wars specific terms to this list. Secondly, I want help formatting it, whether it just be a list or a table. The list is currently tiny, as I just wanted to get it started. Fill it with whatever you feel is a word people won't know when they first look at the wiki, or a word that is used differently in a Robot Wars context to usual. Where possible, include a hyperlink to a relevant page. J im laa  d4   3 (talk) 15:22, April 3, 2017 (UTC)
 * Stuff to include in the list: Acronyms and abbreviations. Slang used only in Robot Wars, or on the wiki.
 * Stuff to not include: Abbreviations of people's or robot's names (eg: WBC - Wheely Big Cheese). Words that are pages in their own right.
