I personally like the new robots (except for one certain robot) and I am extremely happy about the new series. I don't think people dislike the new series because of the robots and to be fair we are entitled to have an opinion about robots. You are right about "wait and see" for quite a few (e.g. Jellyfish) and I myself did judge Rapid (possibly due my distaste in flipperbots,particularly boring looking one), but seeing the first few seconds from the previous changed my opinion completely and I am rooting for it in Heat A. But at the same time it is somewhat understandable for some people to judge these robots seeing as Gabriel, TR2 and Big Nipper were not selected. As I said I'm happy about the new series and I love the mixed range of robots (except for one, sorry but I don't think I'll ever like Ms Nightshade, and not just because of the design...)
