The thing is, Robot Wars needs some original machines, of which the all-female team in Ms Nightshade does meet. Plus, in a similar fashion to how the Overdozer team first competed, I think the Robot Wars producers like to allow rookie machines in, to make robots like Carbide strong, as well as to ensure that these rookies can upgrade their machines next year to the point where they are competitive. Sure, Wyrm has it flaws, but it is miles above Overdozer, so who knows, maybe Ms Nightshade 2 will be great in Series 10. That's why I am going to support the robot and hope it progresses beyond its melee.
