Ranking the 40 2016 robots
NOTE: Just because I used the word "Ranking", that doesn't mean this list isn't rating the 40 robots that competed in the 2016 series based on how good I think the robots are; it's based on how much I like the robots in context to this series, which means it includes if I like the design, if they lived up to expectations, frustrated me and more. As you can tell, Tough as Nails is very high in my "Top 20 favourite robots" list, but that does not automatically mean they will be high on this list. With Robot Wars coming back for the first time in 12 years, it was also my first time to see some robots from the old series in 12 years, so my liking of that robot in the past will not give it a god-given right to be high in this list. Also, yes, my top 20 favourite robots list will be updated in due course.

General Robot Wars thoughts
Okay, so here, will be a collection of my general Robot Wars thoughts and opinions. That means that this section has no 'link' as such. By this, I mean that this isn't a list or a countdown that has structure to it; it's just a section to waffle, really. It'll just involve, one by one, my thoughts and opinions on pretty much anything Robot Wars. From the robots themselves, to arena hazards, series structure and even team members. You can even feel free to request my opinion on something if you want!

On that note, let's start off with our first entry, and one of the main reasons I created this section. 1. I don't rate The Steel Avenger highly. I've never understood the love that so many people have for The Steel Avenger. It's a nice looking, durable enough robot, but as an overall fighter, it frustrates me. It had glaring weaknesses to exploit and its axe is very overrated. If you think about it, what damage did the axe ever really do? I think the battle against Rhino was one of the only battles that the axe ever even made holes into a opposition robot, which says a lot. It couldn't even trouble The Tartan Terror or Sir Chromalot with its weaponry. This isn't to say that I don't like the robot or the team, either - they're both very respected Robot Wars names, but that doesn't mean the robot should be held at a level that it doesn't deserve to be at in the arena.

2016 Predictions
With the 2016 Series getting ever closer, and with competitor robots being officially revealed, I thought I may as well do some predictions. Here I will predict the winners of each heat, as well as hazarding a guess at how veterans will do.
