Talk:Robot Wars Awards

I was thinking this page needed an opening quote, as each page is supposed to have one, so I thought I would used one of Jonathan Pearce's introductions. But which one is best? (I tried to remove series specific parts so it can be used as a broad opening quote, and left out Series 1 and 5 because the intro wasn't good enough)

"Robot Wars isn't of course all about mashing, mayhem and meritorious victory. Months of industry, craft, creativity go in to construct these innovative machines. In battle, style, technique and sportsmanship have also reached new heights, and in recognition of this, we have our special merit Robot Wars trophies."

- Jonathan Pearce in Series 2

"Lessons have been learnt from previous wars, and the standard of innovation, expertise and creativity has continued to grow from strength to strength. In addition, the sportsmanship and camaraderie in the pits has been second to none. A robot in need has always found a friendly roboteer deed, and in recognition of this, we have our special merit Robot Wars trophies."

- Jonathan Pearce in Series 3

"...there's just time to commend all our roboteers for their hard work, innovation and creativity. ... all the robots have stood their ground and fought to their last drop of oil. We've seen a wide variety of design, weaponry and destruction, and in recognition of our teams achievement's, we've our special merit Robot Wars trophies!"

"But it's not just about winning on Robot Wars, we like to recognise the efforts of all our competitors in the pits area, it's time for our special awards..."
