Y'know Rapid (Series 10 not 9) were despised by everyone for no real reason if I remember rightly, most I gathered was that people didn't like the fact that the team spent lots of money on a robot that for the most part worked and because they spent around 20k they're immediately smug rich kids (though I never got that impression what so ever from the team and they actually seemed quite friendly) Rapid in some ways suffered from the "Mortis effect" an extremely engineered and wealthy team make a robot and are hated for it...
