I have to say, that was a fair and balanced assessment of Series 9, Heat 4. I agree that it had its share of spectacular fights and entertaining behind-the-scenes moments, not least with Pulsar vs Supernova and the demise of Frostbite/Wyrm. However, it really did show up the shortcomings of the 'round robin' format, especially when it led to certain robots withdrawing or being unable to be repaired fully in between second-round battles. That, plus the general unreliability of many of the robots competing in this heat, made it one of the least enjoyable episodes of the reboot for me. It also makes me especially glad that Series 10 did away with the 'round robin' format altogether.
